Thank you for your feedback
Nureva has determined that the Cisco® Room Kit EQ will work with the Nureva® HDL300 when configured as described in this article. Our lab testing found that using analog 3.5 mm connections resulted in suboptimal audio quality. A USB connection is recommended. The testing was conducted using Microsoft® Teams and Cisco Webex.
The Cisco Room Kit EQ tested in our lab consists of the following:
Codec EQ
Room Navigator touch control unit
The kit did not include the Cisco Quad Camera or Cisco PTZ 4K Camera.
Please note that the information provided in this article is based on the results of our interoperability testing in a controlled lab environment. This article shares the outcomes observed during testing. These observations are specific to the Room Kit EQ and do not apply to other Cisco products.
Before starting
Set up the HDL300 system by following the steps in the get started guide.
Complete setting up the Room Kit EQ using the setup instructions.
Cisco Room Kit EQ with Microsoft Teams
Connection via USB
Connectivity | Functional. The HDL300 can be connected using any of the USB-A ports on the Codec EQ. |
Microphones | Functional. The Codec EQ detects the HDL300 microphones and works as expected. |
Speakers | Functional. HDL300 volume output was confirmed to be within expected levels. |
Mute sync | Functional. Muting of the HDL300 microphones using the Cisco touch control unit and the Nureva remote was successful and synced between both devices. |
Volume sync | Unsuccessful. Volume adjustments from the Nureva remote do not take effect. Volume adjustments from the Room Navigator control unit work, but the microphone and speaker bar status indicator lights do not sync with the changes. |
Screenshare via HDMI | Functional. The laptop video is projected to the room display and the laptop audio routes to the HDL300. Microphone input via HDMI is not supported. |

Connection via analog ports (3.5 mm)
Microphones | Unsuccessful. The microphone level from the HDL300 is low and distorted. |
Speakers | Unsuccessful. Audio output from the Codec EQ to the HDL300 is at an acceptable level but slightly distorted despite adjustments in Codec EQ settings. |
