- Exceptional audio with NoiseBlockAI and Acoustic Fence technology
- Native Zoom, Teams, and open SIP support — no external compute needed
- Premium build quality with versatile wall-mount and table-stand options
Limitations
- Premium price at $6,999 is a significant investment

Strengths
- Next-generation Neat Symmetry AI with improved multi-person framing accuracy
- Sleek, minimal design that blends seamlessly into modern meeting spaces
- 50MP camera sensor with 4K output and excellent low-light performance
- Neat Pulse cloud management with zero-touch provisioning for IT teams
Limitations
- Limited to Zoom and Teams — no Google Meet or open SIP support
- Sold primarily through AV channel partners — not widely available on Amazon
- Neat Pad controller adds $700+ to total deployment cost
