Hello. It is required per California Code that all conference rooms with audio/video be equipped with an assistive listening system. I have a small, simple conference room with one screen, running a Zoom Rooms appliance (say, a Neat Bar or a Logitech Rally Bar). I need this appliance to give me an aux audio output (e.g. 3.5mm jack) that contains the call audio that I can feed into the audio input of my assistive listening transmitter. So far I haven't found any all-in-one Zoom Appliance that has an aux audio out - do you know of any out there?If I were to use a dedicated computer (Logitech Roommate, Intel NUC, ...), would Zoom Rooms let me output call audio to two peripherals at the same time (1. USB audio peripheral for the room (a sound bar for instance), and 2. the front audio jack connected to assistive listening transmitter) ?Is my only choice to use an audio splitter after the selected audio output? This seems messy.I hope this makes sense. Thanks so much!Léo.

Was there a response to this?

I have come across a consultant designing a small room, Logitech rally bar, using USB to Analogue audio to a williams sound IR transmitter. I have asked Logitech and this is not supported.

Has anyone achieved Hearing assistance with a zoom room and vc soundbar like the logitech rally bar?

I think the Crestron BX30 has an analogue output on the UC-SB1-CAM

Poly X series (apart from the x30) has 3.5mm audio output.

You might need to do some testing as I've really only used the audio feed from HDMI in the smaller units.

In larger rooms we are using Sennheiser Mobile connect as an output from a dsp via a NUC.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the 3.5mm out on the Poly Studio X30/70 only carrying incoming audio and content audio, but not audio from the local microphones?

Hi There,

Did you ever come up with an assistive listening solution for your Zoom Rooms?

I haven't tested it yet, but for Neat Bar Gen 2s and Neat Bar Pros, you can use their HDMI 2/3 output ports to interface with assistive listening systems. You'd also need an HDMI Audio Extractor for this interface to work.
