The Logitech Rally Bar is ideal for organizations with a wide range of room types, from smaller huddle spaces to large conference rooms. Flexible and scalable, it provides expansive speaker coverage when needed and offers a pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) camera, making it an ideal solution for those looking to create a more inclusive environment for remote attendees.

It's compatible with Logitech’s Sync remote management platform. These platforms enable centralized control and are a strong consideration for companies with more than one location or multiple video soundbars.

It performs well in huddle to medium-sized spaces, and offers advanced camera systems that provide lifelike visuals to help remote attendees feel like they’re in the same room. 

This soundbar integrates seamlessly with Shure ceiling microphones, resulting in crystal-clear audio, even in challenging environments. 

The Neat Pulse provides access to their device monitoring platform. It also integrates with the Neat Board, an interactive whiteboard, and is designed for use with Zoom and Microsoft Teams.

The DTEN Bar is designed as a powerful solution for small rooms, ideally measuring up to 15 ft. x 15 ft. It converts compact spaces into dynamic, collaborative meeting rooms with advanced, 4K AI-enhanced cameras that provide crisp, detailed pictures. The AI-empowered audio system consists of a 12-microphone array and front-facing stereo speakers that provide clear communication while suppressing echoes and outside noises.  

Like the other soundbars, DTEN provides DTEN Orbit for centralized remote management and monitoring. Currently, the DTEN bar is certified for Zoom Rooms, and, when paired with the DTEN Mate, is compatible with Microsoft Teams.
