Awareness | AEC reference required back to the Sennheiser TCC2

Gain an understanding of the Sennheiser TCC2's AEC reference requirements.

Information


While the Sennheiser TeamConnect Ceiling 2 (TCC2) mic array does have an Automatic AEC Reference Input, for the typical challenging audio environment, the addition of an External Reference is recommended. This can simply be a copy of the AEC Reference from the Q-SYS design, sent back via Dante (or AES67) to the mic array.

The Q-SYS sample design for Auto Camera Tracking includes this element of sending back such a reference signal. For issues with camera tracking, it is recommended that this method of a reference signal be used.

Further details on this can be found on Sennheiser's site in the Sennheiser Control Cockpit Guide:
