Introducing: Bose Work

Videobar VB1

The Bose Videobar VB1 is an all-in-one USB conferencing device that brings premium audio and video to small meeting areas — from huddle spaces to medium-sized rooms.

Six beam-steering microphones automatically focus on voices in the room and reject noise. A 4K ultra-HD camera with autoframing delivers crystal-clear video, helping remote participants feel like they’re in the room.

Proprietary Bose technology supports multimedia presentations, plays Bluetooth audio, and ensures voices on the call sound natural. Single-cable connectivity means there’s no need for separate audio and video cables at the table, reducing clutter.

Whether it’s a quick morning check-in or a full-afternoon workshop, the Bose Videobar VB1 helps you huddle up, see more, hear more, and work better. Shipping from September 2020, contact Bose for updates.

ES1 Ceiling Audio System

The Bose ES1 Ceiling Audio System is a complete conferencing system for fully integrated meeting rooms.

It combines the premium performance of the Bose EdgeMax in-ceiling loudspeaker and Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 microphone, along with a Bose amplifier and DSP, to deliver a seamless meeting experience that empowers productivity.

It’s a complete room audio solution, ready for quick deployment and configuration of the electronics, reducing installation time.

he ES1 system is more than fully integrated — it’s truly integrated. Completely out of the way. With fewer devices on walls and tabletops, meeting participants can stand, sit, or move around the room freely with the confidence that they’ll hear and be heard.

COMPONENTS

Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 microphone

Quick and easy to install, the TeamConnect Ceiling 2 microphone features patented automatic beamforming technology with a single beam. This allows the microphone to adapt to room conditions without reconfiguration.

No matter how the room is set up or how the participants in the room want to hold the meeting, they’ll gain more flexibility and complete “freedom of speech” as the TeamConnect Ceiling 2 microphone adapts to their needs.

Bose EdgeMax EM180 loudspeaker

The EdgeMax EM180 in-ceiling loudspeaker features proprietary Bose PhaseGuide technology.

This unique loudspeaker design combines the room-filling coverage patterns typical of larger surface-mount speakers with the architect-preferred aesthetics of in-ceiling models.

Designed to mount at the front of the meeting room above the room’s display screen, EdgeMax loudspeakers draw attention toward the screen for a more natural and less fatiguing conferencing experience.

ControlSpace EX-440C processor

With an open-architecture, all-in-one design, the ControlSpace EX-440C conferencing processor facilitates high-quality microphone integration and audio processing for small- to medium-size conference rooms.

Various inputs and outputs allow for flexible configuration: four mic/line analog inputs, four analog outputs, onboard VoIP, PSTN, USB, Bose AmpLink output, eight-channel acoustic echo cancelling (AEC), and 16 x 16 Dante connectivity.

ControlSpace Designer software simplifies the setup process with drag-and-drop programming, making configuration quick and easy.
