Speakerphones and table mics
Summary
Match the mic to how far the farthest person sits from it. For one to four people around a small table, a USB or Bluetooth speakerphone is enough. If you already have a Logitech Rally bar and the far end of the table is hard to hear, add Rally Mic Pods. For a larger table on an installed system, a networked table array like the Shure MXA320 is installer territory.
This page is based on the maker's specs and, where available, named reviews. We found no named reviews for these products, so it uses maker pages and retailer listings only. CrimsonBot has not tested them.

Personal and small-room speakerphones
Jabra Speak2 40, 55 and 75
Who they fit: small rooms up to 4.5 m x 4.5 m (14.76 ft x 14.76 ft), Jabra's stated ideal room for all three.
- Speak2 40: four beamforming mics, pickup up to 2.3 m (7.5 ft), full duplex, echo cancellation, USB-C and USB-A on one cable, no Bluetooth, IP64, 245 g. Certified for Microsoft Teams (variant dependent), Google Meet and Amazon Chime. 2-year warranty (Jabra).
- Speak2 55: adds Bluetooth 5.1 for a phone or tablet, wireless range up to 30 m, and up to 12 hours of talk time. Pickup up to 2.3 m (7.55 ft), 280 g (Jabra).
- Speak2 75: larger 65 mm speaker, pickup up to 2.5 m (8.2 ft), up to 32 hours of talk time, and two units can be linked to cover more of a room. Bluetooth 5.2 plus USB-C/A, 466 g, and a Microphone Quality Indicator in the Jabra app (Jabra).
Price: Jabra's US buy pages showed "Sold out" with no price on 2026-11-12. CDW advertised the Speak2 40 UC at $254.00 and the Speak2 75 MS at $480.00, with lower "sign in" prices (CDW Speak2 40; CDW Speak2 75). Those are retailer prices, not Jabra list prices.
Yealink CP700
Who it fits: one person at a desk or travelling. Yealink pitches it as "Ideal for huddle rooms, personal use and on-the-go."
Yealink's 2020 datasheet lists two omnidirectional mics with a 5-foot (1.5 m) pickup range, a 9-hour talk time, USB and Bluetooth 4.2, echo cancellation and full duplex, at 220 g. It can pair three devices and merge a Bluetooth and a USB call (Yealink CP700; datasheet). Yealink sells through business partners; US price unverified.
Conference table phone: Yealink CP965
Who it fits: a dedicated table phone for a conference room, including offices that still dial phone numbers.
Yealink claims a "20-foot (6-meter) microphone pickup range." Its page heading says "13-MICROPHONE ARRAY," while its feature list says "Built-in 12-microphone array for 360-degree voice pickup" plus a separate mic for noise cancellation. It has a 5" touch screen, full duplex with echo cancellation, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi, PoE, and optional wireless expansion mics (CPW65) and analog phone-line adapter (CPN10) (Yealink CP965). CDW lists the SIP model at "$899.00 Sign in for your price" (CDW); that's not the Teams model and not a Yealink list price.
Adding mics to a video bar: Logitech Rally Mic Pod
Who it fits: rooms with a Logitech Rally Bar Mini, Rally Bar or Rally where the bar's own mics don't reach the far end.
- $449.99 on the Logitech US shop, in stock on 2026-11-12. Pods can be daisy-chained, and a Rally Mic Pod Hub accessory helps with U-shaped tables or one-cable runs through a table grommet (Logitech).
- Each pod has a "pickup range of 15' (4.6 m) diameter." With the bar's mics on, mount the first pod 12 ft (3.7 m) from the bar and space more pods 8 ft (2.4 m) apart. Rally Bar Mini takes up to three pods, Rally Bar up to four, Rally Plus up to seven. Table and ceiling pods perform about the same when spaced the same way and the ceiling is 10 ft or less (Logitech placement guide).
Installed table array: Shure MXA320
Who it fits: larger rooms with an installer and a networked audio system.
Shure lists steerable coverage, onboard IntelliMix DSP with echo cancellation and noise reduction, Dante audio networking with PoE on one Ethernet cable, and Microsoft Teams and Zoom certification. One pickup pattern "only captures table-level sound, helping to reduce unwanted distractions from an overhead fan or in-room HVAC" (Shure MXA320). No price is shown. Plan this with an installer, and have them review any DSP or network change on a live system.
Placing mics
Microsoft's room design guidance: put at least two mics on a rectangular table so no one is more than a few feet from one, with overlapping coverage, and keep ceiling speakers apart from ceiling mics (Microsoft Learn). Echo problems? A guide to fixing echo in a conference room is on the way on the Meeting rooms hub. For budgets, a cost guide, What a room costs: DIY vs installer, is on the way.
