What size room the Poly Studio V72 covers, how many people it suits and when you need extra microphones.
Short answer
We recommend it for medium rooms (6–10 people) and large rooms (10–16 people).
The specs that decide room size
| Field of view | 120° / 70° horizontal (140° / 78° diagonal) |
| Zoom | 7.3x digital |
| Camera | Dual 20 MP 4K cameras, fixed focus |
| Microphones | Two MEMS + two second-order microphones, pickup up to 25 ft |
| Speakers | 2 x 20 W |
How room sizes map to people
| Room type | Typical people | Typical size |
|---|---|---|
| Small | 4–6 | 150–250 sq ft |
| Medium (this one) | 6–10 | 250–400 sq ft |
| Large (this one) | 10–16 | 400–600 sq ft |
| Boardroom | 16+ | 600+ sq ft |
General industry guidance; furniture, room shape and acoustics change what works.
When to add microphones
The built-in microphones pick up about 25 ft (7.62 m). Add a table or ceiling mic if the farthest seat is more than about 25 ft from the video bar. These work with the Studio V72: Poly Studio A2 Table Microphone and Poly Studio Table Microphone.
