The QSC NM-T1 is an advanced network tabletop microphone designed specifically for Q-SYS audio, video, and control ecosystems. Ideal for modern meeting spaces, it features beamforming technology to intelligently capture voice from around the table while minimizing background noise.

Equipped with PoE (Power over Ethernet) and a single network cable connection, the NM-T1 simplifies installation and reduces clutter. Its touch-sensitive mute button with LED status indicators allows participants to intuitively manage their audio presence.

The microphone integrates natively with the Q-SYS platform, enabling centralized configuration, monitoring, and control through Q-SYS Designer software. This makes it a powerful choice for conference rooms, boardrooms, huddle spaces, and collaborative environments where clear voice pickup is essential.

With a sleek, low-profile design and robust construction, the NM-T1 blends into professional environments while delivering high-quality audio performance and intelligent control.

Advanced Beamforming Technology: The Q-SYS NM-T1 features four software-configurable zones that can be activated based on where coverage is (or isn’t needed) to reduce echo and ensure clarity for far end callers. This also enables flexible seating arrangements and provides up to 360° coverage.

Intuitive UI with touchless muting: Easily manage your meetings with the Q-SYS NM-T1 onboard call controls, including a programmable user button and programmable RGB light ring status indicator, both of which are fully customizable within Q-SYS Designer Software. The microphone also features a built-in proximity motion sensor that allows for a simple hand wave to mute/unmute for users that are nearby.

In Sync with Q-SYS Call Sync: Automatically sync onboard controls and LED status indicators on select Q-SYS device (NM-T1 microphone, TSC Series Gen 3 touchscreens & NL-SB42 PoE speakerbar) keeping the state of all in-room endpoints in sync. Additionally, it provides mute sync for UC platforms via the Q-SYS HID controller, as well as ringing and hook state for Q-SYS softphone and POTS controller.

Managing AEC with NM Series: Q-SYS Cores feature dedicated AEC resources for NM Series microphones while also reserving AEC resources for third-party microphones (or additional NM Series microphones). Each Core has a recommended "Maximum NM-T1 Capacity" along with a total "AEC Channel" specification.
