Shure and Neat Transform the Meeting Experience for Complex Spaces

CHICAGO, April 23, 2024—Shure, a renowned leader in audio technology, and Neat, a pioneering provider of video devices, are announcing an alliance to deliver an enhanced meeting experience in large and acoustically challenging spaces. 

By joining forces, Shure and Neat ensure seamless integration between  Neat Bar Pro, a powerful video meeting bar from Neat, and multiple Shure Microflex® Ecosystem Solutions, providing uncompromised audio and video in complex workspaces. 

"Our alliance with Neat brings the best of video and audio into a single room”, says Peter James, VP Global Business Development at Shure. "Our integrated solutions can now easily be installed where customers want to have both a front of room all in one device and extraordinary audio coverage throughout the space. We are thrilled to be providing a first-of-its-kind combination for large conferencing environments that will provide better experiences and more reliable collaboration”. 

The innovative combination of Shure and Neat provides a simple, easy-to-install solution that is scalable to any room type. While Neat Bar Pro delivers exceptional video quality that can auto-frame, zoom in on and follow each in-room participants individually, no matter where they’re positioned, devices from the Microflex Ecosystem extend Neat video deployments into larger and more complex spaces, delivering clear, natural sound with different form factors to keep spaces aesthetically pleasing with reliable performance. 

“We believe our mutual customers will love the amazing experience that we can bring to large and acoustically challenging meeting spaces through this collaboration with Shure, the leading expert in the installed audio space. This simple, intuitive solution extends Neat’s capabilities to support a full range of room types,” said Sherri Pipala, Senior Director of Global Alliances at Neat. 

For large boardrooms or spaces where key participants need to be seen and heard anywhere they sit, the Shure Microflex Advance MXA902 Integrated Conferencing Ceiling Array and Shure’s ANIUSB-MATRIX USB Audio Network interface provide pristine audio while Neat Bar Pro captures video throughout the room, providing simple and reliable room coverage in even the most demanding spaces.

For conferencing environments like all-hands training rooms and divisible spaces, the combination of Neat Bar Pro with the popular Microflex Advance MXA920 Ceiling Array Microphone, an IntelliMix® P300 Audio Conferencing Processor and MXN5W-C Networked Loudspeaker provides advanced features and functionality for a consistent and scalable solution.

These different combinations of Neat Bar Pro and Shure Microflex Ecosystem devices are certified for Zoom Rooms and ideal for enterprise standardization, ensuring both IT professionals and end users enjoy a complete collaboration solution that’s simple to install, easy to use, and reliable while providing the highest standards in any meeting space. 

“Zoom customers are looking for exceptional video and audio experiences in all kinds of meeting spaces, which is why we’re excited about this partnership between Neat and Shure. Together, they provide a simple, easy to use solution that extends to the most challenging large spaces” added John Stearns, Global Head of Zoom Spaces, Zoom.

The partnership between Shure and Neat represents a commitment to innovation in conferencing solutions. Now users can combine the power of Neat's video technology with Shure's renowned microphone expertise to elevate audio in even the most complex meeting spaces.
