How to choose

1. Match your system. Expansion mics only work with the bar or codec they're built for.
2. Coverage per mic. Count how many you need for the table or ceiling area.
3. Cabling and power. PoE ceiling mics need switch ports; table mics need a cable path to the host.
4. Mute. Check mute sync with the host and the meeting app.
