Yealink VCM36-W-PRO Wireless Video Conferencing Microphone for Meeting Bar models A20, A30, A40, A50

Yealink 1303291 VCM36-W Pro Wireless Video Conferencing Microphone

The Yealink VCM36-W Pro, part number 1303291, is a wireless tabletop expansion microphone designed to improve voice coverage in compatible Yealink meeting-room systems. Its four-microphone array, 360-degree pickup, full-duplex audio, advanced noise cancellation and 24-hour battery life provide flexible, cable-free microphone placement across meeting rooms and collaborative spaces.

Four-microphone array with 360-degree voice pickup

The VCM36-W Pro uses a built-in four-microphone array to capture participants around the meeting table. Its 360-degree pickup pattern allows the microphone to receive voices from every direction, avoiding the need for participants to face a particular side of the device.

Yealink specifies an optimal pickup radius of three metres. Positioning the microphone near the centre of the participant area helps provide balanced coverage across:

• Medium and large meeting tables
• Boardrooms and conference rooms
• Flexible training spaces
• Classrooms and education facilities
• Executive meeting rooms
• Rooms where the main video bar is some distance from participants

The wireless design also allows the microphone position to be adjusted as furniture layouts and meeting requirements change. Yealink VCM36-W Pro product information

Clear full-duplex meeting audio

Full-duplex audio allows participants at both ends of a call to speak and be heard at the same time. This supports more natural discussion than systems that suppress one side of the conversation whenever someone else is speaking.

The VCM36-W Pro is designed to extend microphone coverage beyond the host room system, helping remote attendees hear people seated further from the primary conferencing device.

This is particularly useful in longer rooms, U-shaped layouts and spaces where relying solely on the microphone built into a video bar or interactive display may leave some participants sounding distant.

Advanced noise cancellation

Yealink’s advanced noise-cancellation processing helps reduce distracting background sounds before audio is transmitted to remote participants. This can improve intelligibility in meeting spaces affected by keyboard noise, air conditioning, chair movement and other routine room sounds.

Noise cancellation does not remove the need for appropriate room acoustics or microphone placement, but it can help produce more consistent meeting audio in everyday business environments.

Cable-free placement using dual-band wireless connectivity

The VCM36-W Pro connects wirelessly to supported Yealink meeting-room equipment using the 2.4GHz or 5GHz bands. This removes the need to run a microphone cable across or beneath the meeting table.

Cable-free deployment provides several practical advantages:

• Faster installation in rooms where new cabling is difficult
• Cleaner meeting tables with fewer visible cables
• Flexible microphone positioning
• Easier reconfiguration when table layouts change
• Reduced risk of cables being disconnected or damaged
• Simpler deployment in heritage or architecturally sensitive spaces

The microphone supports WPA2 and AES-128 encryption to protect its wireless connection to the conferencing system.

Up to 24 hours of conference battery life

The integrated rechargeable battery provides up to 24 hours of conference use and up to 14 days of standby time. This is sufficient for multiple meetings or extended workshops before the microphone needs to be returned to its charging dock.

Long battery life is particularly useful in shared meeting spaces where several sessions may take place throughout the day. It also reduces the likelihood of the microphone needing to be charged during an active meeting.

Actual operating time will depend on usage and environmental conditions.

Wireless charging dock

A wireless charging dock provides a defined storage and charging location for the microphone. Returning the VCM36-W Pro to its dock after use helps keep it ready for the next meeting without requiring users to connect a charging cable directly to the microphone.

The dock can be positioned on a credenza, side table or other convenient surface within the room. Installers should ensure that users understand where the microphone is stored and establish the simple habit of returning it to the dock after meetings.

Touch mute control for convenient operation

The tabletop microphone provides local mute control, allowing participants to mute the room microphone without returning to the video bar, meeting-room controller or touchscreen.

Placing mute control within reach of meeting participants is useful during private discussions, interruptions and situations where background activity needs to be temporarily excluded from the call.

Designed for compatible Yealink meeting-room systems

The VCM36-W Pro is an expansion microphone rather than a standalone USB or Bluetooth microphone. It is designed to pair with compatible Yealink video-conferencing endpoints and extend their existing room-audio coverage.

This distinction is important when specifying the product. It should not be presented as a general-purpose wireless microphone for arbitrary computers, mobile devices or third-party conferencing systems.

Yealink specifically notes that VCM36-W Pro compatibility differs from the previous VCM36-W model. The exact host system and its required firmware should therefore be checked against Yealink’s current Rooms Accessories Compatibility List before ordering or deployment. Yealink compatibility information

VCM36-W Pro compared with VCM36-W

The VCM36-W Pro is a substantially updated microphone and should not be treated as a specification-equivalent replacement for the earlier VCM36-W.

The Pro model doubles the stated conference and standby battery life and increases the microphone array from three to four microphones. However, Yealink describes its pickup specification as a three-metre optimal radius, while the previous model was promoted with a six-metre maximum range.

Most importantly, compatibility should not be inferred from the product name. A Yealink system that supports the VCM36-W does not automatically support the VCM36-W Pro.

Suitable applications for the VCM36-W Pro

The Yealink VCM36-W Pro is well suited to:

• Extending microphone coverage around longer meeting tables
• Improving voice pickup in medium and large meeting rooms
• Adding a table microphone to compatible Yealink video bars
• Supporting flexible or reconfigurable meeting-room layouts
• Reducing visible cabling across furniture
• Providing local mute control within reach of participants
• Upgrading rooms where the built-in microphone does not adequately cover every seat

The number and placement of microphones required will depend on the room dimensions, table layout, number of participants and capabilities of the Yealink host device.
