Innovative Audio Approach Proving Effective
In the heart of Melbourne, at GPT Space&Co's flagship location on 181 William Street, a new era of hybrid workspaces is unfolding. The focus is on empowering people to connect through technology, not complicate the experience. This vision is being realised through a strategic partnership with AV integrator Programmed and Sennheiser's innovative TeamConnect Ceiling microphone technology.
The collaboration has resulted in the installation of TCC 2 and TCC M microphones in GPT Space&Co's meeting rooms. These microphones, colour-matched to the ceiling finish, preserve the room's design while improving audio quality and flexibility.
Sennheiser's TeamConnect Ceiling microphones are designed to transform hybrid workspaces, primarily through their advanced dynamic beamforming technology. This technology accurately detects the speaker’s position in the room and isolates their voice clearly, enabling crystal-clear audio capture even in complex acoustic environments.
In GPT Space&Co's meeting rooms, this technology enhances audio by automatically tracking the active speaker's location, eliminating the need for individual microphones. It also enables integration with systems such as Lumens CamConnect Pro, providing automatic camera framing and voice tracking for a seamless audio-visual experience.
Additionally, Sennheiser's microphones offer features like TruVoicelift and Intelligent Noise Control, ensuring every voice can be heard clearly across both physical and remote participants in hybrid meetings. The discreet ceiling-mounted installation maximises flexibility by eliminating the need for table or podium microphones.
With Sennheiser's technology, GPT Space&Co's meeting rooms are easily scalable and adaptable for various meeting sizes and formats. This results in higher collaboration efficiency, reduced setup complexity, and an enhanced experience for hybrid work environments.
The Sennheiser microphones also make it possible for the site manager's role to remain customer-facing, not technical. With these intelligent AV environments, GPT Space&Co has built solutions that scale with the needs of modern teams.
The AV experience in these rooms requires no technical training and includes Microsoft Teams Rooms and BYOD support. The system's compatibility with platforms like Microsoft Co-Pilot supports AI-enhanced features like transcription, meeting summaries, and intelligent note-taking.
For larger rooms, flexibility was a key focus, with ceiling-mounted audio providing the ability to change room layouts without impacting audio performance. Rooms like Petition and Verdict use TCC 2 microphones, which auto-adjust to the speaker's position due to patented beamforming technology. The Judge boardroom uses the same setup for design and performance consistency.
In 2024, GPT Space&Co opened four new A-Grade sites, including the flagship at 181 William Street. The latest rollout sets a new benchmark for flexible, elegant, and functional meeting spaces. With Sennheiser's TeamConnect Ceiling microphone technology, GPT Space&Co is leading the way in redefining hybrid workspaces.
