CIsco Spark Room Kit-K9 additional 8 MIC connect

[Keshu]

Hi Team,

Is there any device or option to add more MICs  in Cisco Spark Room Kit-K9. I want to add 6-8 MIC apart from the two which are by default conneted. Please help on this?

Not with Cisco mics. You will need 3rd-party microphones and an external DSP. There are a lot of hardware OEMs in this space but three common options are Shure, Sennheiser, and Biamp. I suggest engaging an A/V reseller who has audio engineers to design, install, and program the gear.

PS- The original Room Kit was meant for small to medium rooms where the farthest viewer is within 16 feet of the camera. A room needing 6-8 mics is probably too large for that codec.
