General industry guidance; furniture, room shape and acoustics change what works.
When to add microphones
The built-in microphones pick up about 20 ft (6.096 m). Add a table or ceiling mic if the farthest seat is more than about 20 ft from the video bar. These work with the Studio V52: Poly Studio A2 Table Microphone and Poly Studio Table Microphone.
