What size room the Neat Board 32 covers, how many people it suits and when you need extra microphones.
Short answer
We recommend it for focus rooms (1–2 people) and huddle rooms (2–4 people).
The specs that decide room size
| Zoom | 4× digital |
| Camera | 4K capture, 140° horizontal FOV, ƒ2.1 |
| Microphones | 4 beamforming microphones |
| Audio pickup | 7 ft / 2 m reach |
| Speakers | Two-way system, woofer with dual passive radiators |
How room sizes map to people
| Room type | Typical people | Typical size |
|---|---|---|
| Focus (this one) | 1–2 | Under 80 sq ft |
| Huddle (this one) | 2–4 | 80–150 sq ft |
| Small | 4–6 | 150–250 sq ft |
General industry guidance; furniture, room shape and acoustics change what works.
When to add microphones
The built-in microphones pick up about 7 ft (2 m). Add a table or ceiling mic if the farthest seat is more than about 7 ft from the collaboration board.
