RoomSuite Bar
QSC · Teams Rooms
Rooms already fitted out, where opening the ceiling is not on the table.
A Windows-based Microsoft Teams Rooms device with its own touchscreen, for rooms that want one piece of hardware rather than a processor and separate endpoints. Worth comparing directly against the MAXHUB XBoard V7 before you choose — we will do that comparison honestly.
Why we recommend it
Four 50MP cameras
Multi-camera framing and speaker tracking from one bar, without a separate codec.
16-element microphone array
Room pickup built in, extendable with up to four RoomSuite table microphones for longer tables.
Ships with its console
A dedicated 10.9-inch touchscreen is included, so the room is controllable out of the box.
Microsoft Teams certified
Certified for Microsoft Teams Rooms on Windows, and listed in the Microsoft Teams devices catalogue. Certification tracks firmware, so we confirm the current status in writing before we quote.

What it works with
For checking fit before you specify. Every figure below is taken from the published specification of the product named.
Four table microphones, and this page does not say they are NM-T1s
Expansion here is published as up to 4 table microphones, and the Ethernet set as 4 x RJ45 carrying network, BYOD, PoE+ for the controller and PoE for the microphones — so the bar powers them itself rather than spending ports on a room switch. What this page does not publish is support for the NM-T1, the Q-SYS table microphone with 16 MEMS elements, four configurable zones up to 360° and a 3 - 9 ft (1 - 3 m) pickup range. The RoomSuite Modular System does publish that support, as NM Series and Dante-enabled microphones. If a room is being specified around NM-T1s, confirm in writing which microphone this bar actually takes before the table is drilled.
Wired sharing is published at 1080p30, and display output is not published at all
Content sharing is published as HDMI 1080p30, with USB-C BYOD at the controller. The Modular system publishes 4K60 4:4:4 on BYOM and 1080p60 in Teams and Zoom compatibility mode. A room that has to put a 4K wired laptop source on the screen is therefore outside what this page publishes. Note also that no HDMI output row appears here at all: how this bar drives the display, and at what resolution, is not published on this page. Settle both rows before the display is chosen rather than after it is hung.
125 degrees is wider than any separate camera we list
Four 50MP cameras — two wide-angle, two telephoto — publish 125° wide and 42° telephoto with 8x hybrid zoom. Every separate camera on this site is narrower: the NC-110 at 110° ePTZ, the NC-12x80 at 80° with 12x optical, the NC-20x60 at 60° with 20x optical. Adding a PTZ beside this bar is therefore a decision about reach or camera position, never about seeing more of the room. Where one camera position genuinely will not cover the table, the Modular system is the published route: up to 2 NC Series cameras, ePTZ or PTZ.
Thirty-three feet of pickup and forty watts of loudspeaker are not the same room limit
The 16-element array publishes pickup up to 33 ft (10 m), and that is the figure people quote. The integrated loudspeakers publish stereo at 20 W each, 40 W total, with a maximum of 88 dB SPL at 1 W / 0.5 m — and that is the figure that decides whether the far end is intelligible at the back of a long room. The two numbers do not have to agree, and in a long room they will not. Where the room needs more loudspeaker than the bar carries, network loudspeakers — NL-C4 ceiling or NL-P4 pendant — are published as supported by the Modular system, not by this bar.
It brings its own compute and its own console, which is exactly what a Core room does not
The RS-CB-MTRW-B bundle publishes the bar with the RS-CB-CTL11 controller: Windows 11 IoT Enterprise on an Intel Core i5-1340P with 16 GB and 256 GB, and a 10.9 inch 1920 x 1080 console included. The Modular system publishes no UC compute at all — bring your own, or run BYOM. A Core-based room publishes neither: it is a Core Nano or Core 8 Flex, each up to 32 network peripherals with 64 x 64 over Q-LAN and AES67 and 8 AEC processors, plus a separate TSC-101-G3 panel at 10.1 inch and 1920 x 1200 on PoE+ Class 4. None of those Core rows appear on this page, because this is not a Core device. Which leaves the one question this page cannot answer: where a Q-SYS estate already exists, nothing published here says whether this bar joins it as a peripheral or sits beside it as a separate room. Ask before the design is fixed.
The honest MAXHUB comparison is not the one named above
We say above to compare this directly against the XBoard V7, and on certification that is not like for like: the V7 is the MAXHUB-OS panel. The Teams-certified MAXHUB is the XBoard for Microsoft Teams Rooms, and both it and this bar publish Microsoft Teams Rooms certification on Windows 11 IoT. Against each other they publish different shapes: 125° wide with pickup to 33 ft (10 m) from a bar that mounts under a display the room already has, against a 16-mic array at 180° and 15 m pickup from a device that is the display, in 55 to 86 inch 16:9 and 92 inch 21:9. Certification tracks firmware on both, so we confirm current status in writing before we quote.
Which of these applies depends on what the room already has on the wall. See the rooms we build and how we approach conference room AV.
