A Smarter Boundary Microphone Conference System for Modern Meeting Rooms
Many people have lowered their expectations for meetings. Instead of expecting seamless collaboration, they simply hope the equipment works.
Common problems include microphones that suddenly lose audio, lengthy system setup, inconsistent volume levels, complicated cabling, and limited expansion options. These issues interrupt discussions and force participants to focus on technology instead of the meeting itself.
Modern meeting rooms must also support remote participation, wireless control, network audio, camera tracking, and paperless collaboration. Traditional conference systems may struggle to meet all these requirements.
Zhihui Cloud's new boundary microphone conference system combines the ICCT-Z70 digital conference controller, ICCT-Z701 chairman and delegate units, and dedicated distribution boxes in one integrated solution.
ICCT-Z70: An Integrated Digital Conference Controller
The ICCT-Z70 is the core of the system. Designed in accordance with the IEC 60914 conference-system standard, it combines multiple technologies on a unified platform:
- Wired digital conferencing
- Wi-Fi control
- Dante and AES67 network audio
- PoE power
- Ring-network redundancy
- Dual power inputs
- Digital signal processing
- Centralized IP management
One controller can support wired and wireless management while connecting with compatible analog and digital audio equipment.
Professional Audio Performance
The ICCT-Z70 supports selectable 44.1 kHz and 48 kHz sampling rates and provides the following specified audio performance:
- Frequency response: 20 Hz–20 kHz
- Signal-to-noise ratio: greater than 80 dB
- Total harmonic distortion: less than 0.5%
Dante and AES67 support allow digital audio to be transmitted and routed over a properly configured IP network. The controller can connect with compatible mixers, processors, recording systems, amplifiers, and video conferencing equipment.
Remote and Distributed Control
The system supports TCP/IP and Wi-Fi control. Authorized technicians can configure supported parameters using computer management software or an iPad.
Each controller can receive an IP address, allowing multiple devices and meeting rooms to be managed through a distributed network architecture.
Redundancy for Important Meetings
The ICCT-Z70 incorporates several features designed to reduce single points of failure.
Ring-Network Cabling
Compatible conference units connect through standard RJ45 network cables in a ring-style daisy chain.
The controller provides one output and one backup input. If one section of the installed cable path is interrupted, communication can be redirected through the other side of the ring, depending on the system topology and configuration.
Dual Power Inputs
The controller supports both PoE and AC 220V power. These two power paths can provide supply redundancy when configured accordingly.
Backup Audio Outputs
The system supports both analog and digital signal outputs, giving integrators additional routing and backup options.
These capabilities are particularly useful for board meetings, government conferences, command centers, and other sessions where an audio-system interruption would be highly disruptive.
Hot-Plug Expansion
Compatible microphone units can be connected while the system is operating.
When an additional speaking position is required, technicians can add a unit without restarting the entire conference system. This provides greater flexibility when seating arrangements or participant numbers change at short notice.
Flexible Speaking Management
An optional four-inch wall-mounted touchscreen provides convenient in-room control.
The system supports four speaking modes:
- Normal
- First-in, first-out
- Free
- Request-to-speak
The number of active delegate microphones can be limited to one, two, four, or six. Chairman and designated VIP units can be configured separately.
Administrators can also adjust system volume, treble, and bass. Through the computer management software, multiple cameras can be configured for automatic speaker tracking and preset panoramic views.
ICCT-Z701 Boundary Microphone Unit
The ICCT-Z701 chairman and delegate unit brings the system's capabilities directly to the meeting table.
Using a boundary pickup design, it is intended to capture clear speech without requiring a traditional gooseneck microphone directly in front of every participant. Its low-profile appearance is suitable for executive boardrooms and other professional meeting environments.
Key specifications include:
- Cardioid condenser microphone
- Supercardioid pickup pattern
- Frequency response: 40 Hz–20 kHz
- DC 24V power supplied by the controller
- 1.5-meter shielded Category 6A cable
- Configurable unit ID
- Illuminated operating-status ring
- Low-noise touch control
The quiet touch switch helps reduce mechanical noise when the microphone is activated or muted.
Flexible Distribution Box
The matching distribution box simplifies system cabling and microphone placement.
It provides:
- Four RJ45 ports
- Two daisy-chain connections
- Two conference-unit connections
- Ring-network support
- A supplied two-meter Category 6A cable
- Power consumption below 2W
Each module can connect two microphone units, and compatible units can be assigned as chairman microphones through the system configuration.
This design makes it easier to adjust seating layouts, add microphone positions, and organize cabling without extensive reconstruction.
Suitable Applications
The Zhihui Cloud boundary microphone conference system is designed for several professional environments.
Corporate Boardrooms
Integrated audio, remote control, camera tracking, and flexible speaking management support executive and hybrid meetings.
Government and Command Centers
Ring-network redundancy, dual power inputs, and hot-plug expansion help improve system resilience during important coordination and command sessions.
Financial Presentation Rooms
The 48 kHz sampling option and professional audio specifications support presentations, investor communications, and recorded events.
Multi-Room Facilities
IP-based addressing and distributed management allow technical teams to manage multiple conference controllers through a centralized network.
Existing Network-Audio Environments
Native Dante and AES67 support simplify integration with compatible professional audio equipment already installed in the venue.
From Basic Audio to Connected Collaboration
A modern conference system should do more than provide working microphones.
It should reduce setup time, simplify control, support changing room layouts, connect with existing audio infrastructure, and provide greater resilience when individual components encounter problems.
The Zhihui Cloud system combines:
- ICCT-Z70 digital conference controller
- ICCT-Z701 boundary microphone units
- Flexible RJ45 distribution boxes
- Dante and AES67 network audio
- Ring-network redundancy
- PoE and AC power options
- Hot-plug expansion
- IP-based centralized management
- Optional touchscreen and camera tracking
Together, these components create an integrated conference environment that is easier to deploy, manage, and expand.
