Conference room microphones range from about $150 for a personal speakerphone to $2,000 or more for a single ceiling array. Most rooms spend $200-$700 per expansion table mic added to a video bar, while large rooms with ceiling mics, a DSP and installation can run into the thousands. The right budget depends on room size, not on how premium the mic sounds in a spec sheet.

What adds to the cost
- DSP: ceiling arrays from pro-audio brands usually need a separate digital signal processor for echo cancellation and mixing. Some systems, like the AVer FONE700, include a DSP hub.
- Accessories: mounts, hubs and extension cables. For example, Logitech's Mic Pod Hub and Mic Pod Extension Cable.
- Installation: ceiling work, cable runs, PoE switch ports and programming.
- Speakers: ceiling mic setups often need separate ceiling speakers too.
Typical total audio budget by room

| Huddle (2-4) | Speakerphone or bar's built-in mics | $0-$400 |
| Small (4-6) | Bar mics or room speakerphone | $0-$700 |
| Medium (6-10) | Bar + 1-2 expansion mics | $200-$1,400 |
| Large (10-16) | 2-4 table mics + speakers | $1,000-$3,000 |
| Boardroom (16+) | Ceiling arrays + DSP + install | $3,000 and up |
"$0" means the video bar's mics already cover the room. See best video bars.
Is a more expensive mic worth it?
Only when coverage demands it. A $450 expansion mic in the right spot will beat a $2,000 ceiling array in a room it wasn't designed for. Spend first on full coverage of every seat, then on echo cancellation that matches your system, then on acoustic treatment.
