What size room the Poly Studio R30 covers, how many people it suits and when you need extra microphones.
Short answer
We recommend it for focus rooms (1–2 people), huddle rooms (2–4 people) and small rooms (4–6 people).
The specs that decide room size
| Field of view | 110° horizontal, 120° diagonal |
| Zoom | 5x (4x with auto tracking) |
| Camera | 8 MP 4K UHD (3840 x 2160), single lens |
| Microphones | Three-element beamforming array, pickup up to 15 ft |
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 (this one) | 4–6 | 150–250 sq ft |
| Medium | 6–10 | 250–400 sq ft |
General industry guidance; furniture, room shape and acoustics change what works.
When to add microphones
The built-in microphones pick up about 15 ft (4.572 m). Add a table or ceiling mic if the farthest seat is more than about 15 ft from the video bar.
