An incredible front‑of‑room device, the Crestron® UC Video Conference Smart Soundbar (UC-SB1-FLEX) eliminates the need to install additional microphones or speakers. Mounted on the wall or placed on a credenza beneath the main room display(s), the smart soundbar looks great and sounds even better in any small to medium‑sized meeting space.

High‑powered stereo speakers, adaptive beamforming microphone, and advanced digital signal processing deliver exceptional full‑duplex speakerphone performance with highly intelligible, echo‑free voice clarity. Its compact design reduces clutter on the conference table, and even accommodates rooms with no table at all. A USB camera can be connected via a USB 3.0 port on the rear panel.

NOTE: See also model UC‑SB1‑CAM‑FLEX for a similar solution with built‑in camera.

USB Speakerphone
The UC-SB1-FLEX is a high‑performance AEC‑enabled speakerphone. A USB camera can also be connected for a full video conferencing solution. A single USB 3.0 (2.0 compatible) connection provides a plug‑and‑play interface to the Crestron UC-ENGINE as part of a Crestron Flex System.

Superb Sound Quality
The smart soundbar facilitates conversations with exceptional audio fidelity and pickup. Its integrated 180° far‑field microphone array faithfully captures voices throughout the room using adaptive beamforming technology. Its high‑powered, two‑way stereo speakers produce full, rich and real sounding audio. High‑performance AEC technology achieves transparent full‑duplex performance free of distracting echo or noise. Additional digital signal processing assures optimal sound quality for an immersive experience.

USB Camera Input
The UC-SB1-FLEX includes a USB 3.0 camera port to accommodate an external USB camera. Connecting the camera to the soundbar facilitates full audio and video connectivity to the UC‑ENGINE through a single USB interface.

Analog Audio Input & Output
Additional audio connectivity is provided through unbalanced stereo analog input and output jacks on the rear panel. The input accommodates any line‑level audio source, which simply feeds to the internal amplifier and speakers with no volume control or other signal processing. The output is provided to feed an assistive listening system, and carries the same audio signal as the soundbar speakers.

Easy Installation
Installation is a breeze using the integral hinged mounting bracket, which attaches easily to the wall and allows the soundbar to be tipped forward for full access to the rear panel connections. Once installed and connected, the soundbar is held upright magnetically for normal operation. The bracket allows for attachment to any wall surface using two screws. A total of eight mounting keyholes, arranged in 2 in. (51 mm) increments, accommodates any wall stud spacing from 12 to 24 in. (305 to 610 mm). Alternately, the soundbar can be simply placed on a shelf or credenza. Optimal results are achieved by positioning the unit at ear/face height. A single 100‑240 VAC outlet is required to power the unit.
