The Neat Center is an intelligent companion device engineered to enhance hybrid meeting experiences by extending the audio and video capabilities of Neat devices such as the Neat Bar, Neat Bar Pro, and Neat Board Pro. Designed for Zoom Rooms and Microsoft Teams Rooms, the Neat Center ensures that remote participants can clearly see and hear everyone in the room — even those seated away from the primary video device — creating a more inclusive and natural meeting environment for all attendees.

Flexible Setup and 360° Audio-Visual Coverage

With a simple Power over Ethernet (PoE) connection and network integration, the Neat Center installs quickly and seamlessly into existing meeting setups. It offers full 360-degree video and audio coverage, enabling optimal performance in conference rooms of all sizes. Its flexible design allows it to be placed on a table, mounted from the ceiling, or positioned anywhere within the room to capture every participant with precision and clarity.

Equipped with a 16-microphone beamforming array and three ultra-wide 8 MP cameras, the Neat Center intelligently detects, frames, and focuses on active speakers while maintaining balanced sound and sharp video quality. This ensures remote participants enjoy a fully immersive and lifelike perspective of every in-room attendee.
