What size room the Jabra PanaCast 50 covers, how many people it suits and when you need extra microphones.
Short answer
We recommend it for small rooms (4–6 people) and medium rooms (6–10 people).
The specs that decide room size
| Field of view | Horizontal 180°, vertical 54° |
| Zoom | Up to 6x lossless digital zoom |
| Cameras | 3 x 13 MP, panoramic multi-camera array |
| Microphones | 8 microphone beamforming array |
| Speakers | 2 x 2" (50mm) woofers, 2 x 3/4" (20mm) tweeters |
How room sizes map to people
| Room type | Typical people | Typical size |
|---|---|---|
| Huddle | 2–4 | 80–150 sq ft |
| Small (this one) | 4–6 | 150–250 sq ft |
| Medium (this one) | 6–10 | 250–400 sq ft |
| Large | 10–16 | 400–600 sq ft |
General industry guidance; furniture, room shape and acoustics change what works.
When to add microphones
If people sit beyond the built-in microphones' pickup range, or the table is long, add expansion or table microphones.
