Highlights
- Combines a 2D array of 10 forward-facing low-noise omnidirectional MEMS microphones with a two-way speaker system in a single wall-mounted unit.
- Microphone and speaker halves are acoustically isolated within the enclosure to prevent interference between pickup and output.
- Two 4 in. neodymium drivers rated 30 W RMS and 60 W maximum, plus a 1 in. teteron dome tweeter rated 10 W RMS and 20 W maximum, with built-in amplifier and crossover.
- Vented enclosure covering 120 Hz to 20 kHz for consistent output across the room.
- Single RJ45 connection to the HDX system hub, with no local power or DSP configuration required at the bar.
- Mounts vertically or horizontally, with mounting bracket and optional VESA mounting for flexible wall placement.
- Black finish (HDX-BAR-B) for rooms with darker wall treatments or where the bar should recede visually, with specifications identical to the white HDX-BAR-W.
Ideal For
- Two-bar and four-bar HDX deployments in rooms with darker wall or ceiling finishes
- Meeting rooms, boardrooms, classrooms, lecture halls, and training rooms running an HDX system
- Divisible rooms and multipurpose spaces where furniture and orientation change
- Replacement or spare stock for an existing black HDX installation
- Expanding a two-bar HDX system to a four-bar configuration for larger rooms
- Multi-room standards where finish consistency matters across spaces
- Executive rooms, briefing centers, and presentation spaces with dark interior treatments

Nureva HDX-BAR-B Audio Bar for HDX Series Audio Systems, Black
The Nureva HDX-BAR-B is the wall-mounted microphone and loudspeaker element of an HDX series audio system, finished in black. One half of the bar carries a 2D array of ten forward-facing MEMS microphones. The other half is a two-way speaker system with dual 4 in. drivers and a 1 in. tweeter in a vented enclosure. The two halves are acoustically isolated inside the same chassis so that room reinforcement does not interfere with pickup. Each bar connects to the HDX system hub over a single RJ45 run, and the hub handles all processing, so the bar itself requires no local power supply, DSP programming, or configuration.
Bars are specified in pairs. Nureva ships HDX in two-bar and four-bar configurations, with stereo pairing providing spatial audio and better music playback, so a single bar is normally ordered as a spare, a replacement, or as part of an expansion to a larger configuration rather than as a standalone purchase. The hub provides six component ports shared across audio bars and microphone pods, which sets the ceiling on how many bars a system can carry alongside pods. Before ordering, confirm the port count available on the installed hub, plan structured cabling from the hub to each bar position, and verify that the wall construction supports the bar's mounted weight of 17.4 lb. with bracket. The black and white finishes share the same specifications, so the choice is an interior one rather than a performance one, though finishes should be kept consistent within a room.

Compatibility
- System requirement: connects to the Nureva HDX system hub (HDX-HUB) over RJ45 and operates as part of a complete HDX system. It does not function independently.
- Published configurations: two-bar and four-bar systems, with or without microphone pods. Bars are specified in pairs for stereo and spatial audio.
- Port capacity: the system hub provides six component connections shared across audio bars and microphone pods.
- Finish: HDX-BAR-B (black) and HDX-BAR-W (white) share the same published specifications. Nureva does not publish performance differences between finishes.
- Expansion: Nureva states that HDX is modular and scalable, and that additional audio bars or microphone pods can be added to an existing system to expand coverage.
- Feature dependency: Adaptive Voice Lift requires a four-bar system with two microphone pods. Audio bars alone do not enable voice lift.
- Configuration and management: setup through the Nureva App, with remote management through Nureva Console. No DSP programming is required.
- Orientation: bars can be installed vertically or horizontally to suit room geometry.
Licensing, Warranty & Support
Nureva provides a standard two-year limited hardware warranty on the audio bar, with accessories and cables covered for 30 days. Extended coverage is available through Nureva Pro extensions (NP-1Y, NP-2Y, NP-3Y). Complete HDX systems ship with a two-year Nureva Pro service plan. When a bar is purchased separately as an expansion, a spare, or a replacement, confirm current service plan terms at the time of order. The Nureva App and Nureva Console are provided with HDX systems and require no separate license for an individual bar.
VideoConferenceGear.com Assistance
We can help you confirm whether your room calls for a two-bar or four-bar configuration, and whether the installed system hub has ports available for the bars you intend to add alongside any microphone pods. We can review wall positions and mounting orientation against seating layout, verify that the wall construction and backing suit the bar's mounted weight, and plan structured cabling runs from the hub to each bar location. We can also help you match finishes across an existing installation, confirm that a replacement bar matches the units already deployed, and keep bar counts and finishes consistent as a standard across multiple rooms or sites.
Common Questions
Can a single audio bar be used on its own?
No. The bar connects to an HDX system hub and requires it to operate. Nureva publishes two-bar and four-bar configurations, and bars are paired for spatial audio, so a single bar is normally a spare, a replacement, or part of an expansion.
Is the black bar different from the white one in any way other than color?
Nureva publishes the same specifications for HDX-BAR-B and HDX-BAR-W. The difference is finish.
How does the bar connect and receive power?
Through a single RJ45 cable to the system hub. No separate power supply is required at the bar.
Can bars be mounted horizontally?
Yes. Nureva states that bars can be installed vertically or horizontally, which gives flexibility in larger or unusually shaped rooms.
Does the bar include a subwoofer?
No. The bar has dual 4 in. drivers and a tweeter in a vented enclosure. A subwoofer connects separately at the system hub through its balanced 1/4 in. output.
Can bars be added to an existing HDX system?
Yes. Nureva states that the series is modular and scalable and that additional audio bars can be added to expand coverage. Confirm available component ports on the system hub first.
Does adding a bar require recalibration or DSP programming?
No. HDX automatically detects component locations and calibrates, including after a room is reconfigured.
What warranty applies?
Two years limited hardware on the audio bar and 30 days on accessories and cables, with extended coverage available through Nureva Pro extensions.
