Logitech unveils Rally Bar 2 and AI-powered meeting room portfolio
Logitech has introduced the Rally Bar 2, Rally System 2 Pro and Sound Shape audio technology, designed to bring AI-powered collaboration to meeting spaces of all sizes.
“This second generation of smart video collaboration devices is Logitech’s answer to a new, dual mandate for IT: Deliver exceptional meeting experiences today while preparing for an AI-powered tomorrow,” Logitech general manager – team workspace solutions Henry Levak says.

The Rally Bar 2 is the successor to Logitech’s Rally Bar, featuring a Qualcomm chipset that the company says provides four times more edge AI processing power than various other video bars on the market. It combines a custom-designed lens and 1” sensor with RightSound 3 audio processing, six beamforming microphones and occupancy detection.
The system can automatically detect room occupancy to support meeting room booking and provide data to help organisations understand how their spaces are being used. Designed for medium to large meeting rooms, it supports Microsoft Teams, Zoom Rooms and Google Meet, and is built on Microsoft’s Device Ecosystem Platform (MDEP).
For larger and more complex spaces, the Rally System 2 Pro combines modular components to simplify deployments in large, multi-purpose and divisible rooms. The system includes the RoomMate 2 Pro compute device, Rally AI Camera Pro, Rally Speaker 2 and Logitech Link AV-over-IP technology.
RoomMate 2 Pro uses a Qualcomm platform to support up to three 4K displays, multiple cameras, speakers and microphone pods across Android, PC and bring-your-own-device configurations.
The Rally AI Camera Pro combines a wide-angle camera with a 1” sensor and an optical pan-tilt-zoom camera. Logitech’s RightSight 3 technology uses multiple camera angles to automatically select views of meeting participants.
Logitech Link connects compatible devices over category cabling without requiring external extenders or Power over Ethernet injectors.
Audio is another focus of the launch, with Logitech introducing Sound Shape technology in the Rally Speaker 2 Pro and Rally Speaker 2 Max. The systems use focused acoustic beams to distribute sound more evenly throughout larger rooms, with the company targeting consistent audio across spaces extending up to 20m.
The Rally Speaker 2 Pro incorporates 32 micro-drivers, while the Rally Speaker 2 Max features 64 micro-drivers for extra-large rooms. The Rally Speaker 2 is a networked, seven-driver speaker designed to maintain sound volume and intelligibility from the front to the back of a room.
The portfolio also includes the Tap IP 2 meeting room touch controller, featuring a brighter display, network connectivity and the Tap Scheduler 2, which adds a higher-resolution display, upgraded processing and a built-in motion sensor.
Together, the new products expand Logitech’s offering across meeting room sizes, from standard video conferencing spaces to large, multi-camera environments requiring integrated audio, video and network infrastructure.
