Soundbars & Speakers

Clear Audio for Every Room, from Huddle Space to Home Theater

Soundbars and speakers determine whether a meeting runs smoothly or devolves into repeated requests to speak up, and built-in monitor or laptop speakers rarely deliver the vocal clarity or room coverage that professional environments demand. Dedicated audio from conference-grade soundbars with integrated microphones to compact desktop speaker sets fills the gap with purpose-built drivers, digital signal processing, and noise cancellation tuned to the room size. The lineup spans USB-powered desktop satellites and 2.1 multimedia systems from Cyber Acoustics and Adesso through UC-certified conference soundbars from JBL and Yealink to home entertainment systems from ULTIMEA.

Soundbars and Speakers for Every Setting

• Conference rooms and boardrooms — all-in-one soundbars with far-field microphone arrays, echo cancellation, and USB plug-and-play connectivity for Microsoft Teams and Zoom meetings
• Huddle spaces and small meeting rooms — compact conference bars sized for four to six participants that mount beneath a display or sit on a table
• Desktop workstations — stereo speaker sets and 2.1 systems that upgrade built-in laptop and monitor audio for video calls, music, and multimedia
• Classrooms and training rooms — amplified speaker systems with wireless microphone pairing that project an instructor's voice to every seat
• Home theater and entertainment — soundbars with wireless subwoofers and multiple input options including HDMI ARC, optical, and Bluetooth
• Digital signage and lobby displays — slim under-monitor bars that provide clean directional audio in public-facing installations

How to Choose the Right Soundbar or Speaker

Start with the primary use case. Conference rooms need a bar with integrated microphones, echo cancellation, and UC certification for Teams, Zoom, or Webex. JBL Bar series and Yealink MeetingBar models combine speakers, microphone arrays, and DSP into a single device that replaces the clutter of separate speakerphones and ceiling mic arrays. Match the bar to room size: compact models cover huddle spaces for four to six people, while larger bars fill mid-size rooms seating ten to fifteen.

Desktop audio is simpler. A 2.0 stereo pair flanking a monitor handles video calls and casual listening. Adding a subwoofer in a 2.1 configuration delivers low-frequency depth for music and entertainment. USB-powered speakers from Cyber Acoustics eliminate the need for a wall adapter, keeping cable clutter minimal on hot-desked setups. Bluetooth models let you switch audio between a PC, phone, or tablet without swapping cables.

Connectivity and power type complete the decision. Powered (active) speakers and soundbars have built-in amplifiers and connect via USB, HDMI, optical, or Bluetooth with no external amp needed. Passive speakers require a separate amplifier or AV receiver and are more common in large-venue commercial audio. For home entertainment, HDMI ARC is the cleanest single-cable connection between a TV and soundbar, with optical and Bluetooth as fallback options for older displays.
