Quick start

The TC Bar can be connected in just a few steps and used immediately.



The TC Bar can be used either as a stand-alone solution in the meeting room or as a network solution in an existing network structure.

Stand-alone solution

  • As a stand-alone solution, the TC Bar is directly connected with a device and operated using only a USB-C® connection. Only restricted functions are available in this operating mode (see Operation as a stand-alone solution).
Network solution
  • As a unit in the network, the TC Bar is initially assigned to a Control Cockpit instance and then controlled with extensive functions via the web interface of the Sennheiser Control Cockpit control software (see Operation as a networked conference system).

To install the TC Bar and use it immediately:

1. Unpack the TC Bar
  1. Unpack the TC Bar completely and make sure the delivery includes everything it should (see Scope of delivery).
  2. Remove the protective film attached to the camera lens.
  3. Mount the TC Bar as per the possible mounting options (see Mounting options).
2. Connect the TC Bar to the power supply system.
  1. Insert the plug of the DC power supply unit into the DC IN socket of the TC Bar and guide the cable through the cable sheath (see Connecting the TC Bar to the power supply system and starting it).
  2. Plug the AC power supply unit into the wall socket (see Connecting the TC Bar to the power supply system and starting it).
3. Connect the TC Bar to the PC/MAC via USB
  1. Plug the USB-C® cable into the TC Bar (see Connecting the TC Bar to the power supply system and starting it).
    The TC Bar S is a power-consuming PoE+ device (powered device) and can be operated using no more than the network cable. For continuous power supply, we recommend always connecting the power supply unit included in the delivery (see Connecting the TC Bar to the power supply system and starting it).
  2. Plug the other end of the cable of the USB-C® connection into the device used.
    The operating system automatically recognizes and installs the TC Bar. Once the installation has completed successfully, the speakers play a brief sound.
    Depending on the conference platform used, interactive configuration tips may appear the first time the TC Bar is used.
    Note that the functions Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and Power over Ethernet are deactivated in the factory settings. These functions can be activated only after the device has been claimed in the Sennheiser Control Cockpit (see Claiming the TC Bar for a specific Control Cockpit instance (network solution)).
The TC Bar has been installed and is ready for operation.
