How to See and Hear Everyone Clearly in Large Rooms: All You Need to Know

Simon Anthony Walker, Nov 20, 2025

Delivering seamless, scalable, intelligent AV over IP in large rooms isn’t magic—it’s about using the right approach. When you do, everyone can see and hear each other clearly, while deployment and management stay simple and cost-effective.

Hot on the heels of our recent AV over IP (Audio-Visual over Internet Protocol) post, “Make Your Large Rooms Brilliant with Intelligent, Simple Modular AV,” we’re sharing even more practical guidance to get your large meeting rooms match-fit and future-ready for greater collaboration on our “Scaling Collaboration for Large Meeting Spaces” page.

Traditional AV for large spaces is often expensive, complex, and challenging to scale, with multiple vendors, proprietary control systems, and extensive on-site integration. The result? Fragmented setups, compatibility headaches, and rising maintenance and upgrade costs for IT.

Neat changes all that with intelligent AV over IP. Built on our modular, network-based architecture, Neat devices communicate intelligently over your existing network to simplify setup, scale across different spaces, and deliver consistent performance in every room. This pioneering approach unites intelligent devices, elegant design, and dynamic AI to create meeting experiences that are as inclusive, effortless, and reliable as they are beautiful.

Simplified power, media, and control over IP

Large room devices, such as Neat Bar Pro and Neat Board Pro, connect securely over Ethernet, delivering power, media, and control over IP that streamlines deployment and eliminates the need for specialized cabling or external extenders. IT teams can deploy, monitor, and update devices in minutes, managing everything centrally through Neat Pulse, our secure, cloud-based management platform, including companion devices like Neat Center.

To further enhance reach and meeting equity in large rooms, our Neat Center companion device integrates seamlessly with Neat Bar Pro and Neat Board Pro, providing additional visual and audio capture of people within the room to keep remote participants more engaged. For larger or more complex environments, pairing two Neat Centers enables synchronized multi-source video and audio capture, delivering consistent clarity and engagement across every corner of the room.

Videos, eGuides, and a webinar for better large rooms

Encompassing all the above, and much more, we’ve created a series of useful assets. Each one will help you grasp everything you need to know about equipping your large meeting rooms with video technology that enhances how your teams collaborate, while delivering easy-to-deploy, easy-to-manage solutions for your IT team:
