Example of “A” and “B” antennas with antenna kit conguration.
The ClearOne DIALOG 20 and DIALOG 10 USB Wireless Microphone System
Receivers include two, built-in, passive antennas. When using a ClearOne DIALOG
20 or DIALOG 10 USB Antenna Cable Kit, the antennas can be extended to either
10’ or 25’ lengths in each direction easily accommodating most conferencing
requirements and room types. These Plenum rated antennas adhere to most
municiptle re codes, and therefore, they can be extended inside ceiling crawl
spaces for discreet installation. The available transmitters include: Boundary
tabletop, Gooseneck podium, Handheld and Beltpack.

DIALOG 20 and DIALOG 10 USB Receivers come with two, Plenum rated,
dipole antennas.
• Mount the antennas on the front of the receiver using a non-conductive adhesive
on the threads of the Female TNC Connector.
• Tilt the antennas slightly outward.
DIALOG 20 and DIALOG 10 USB Antenna Cable Kits are available in two
lengths.
The DIALOG Antenna Cable kit can be used to extend the passive,
Plenum rated, dipole antennas that are included with the DIALOG 20 and
DIALOG 10 USB Receivers.

behind hollow wall (Fig. 5; not necessary for thick or
solid walls).
Do not hammer nail or screwdriver.
7Remove the nail or screwdriver.
8Repeat steps 4 - 7 for the second anchor.
To avoid interference, only one anchor should
be installed vertically.
9Secure antenna extension bracket (A) using
two (2) wood screws (B) (Fig 6).
Do not overtighten screws.
Hollow wall anchors (D) may be used as wedge anchors in walls thicker than 3/4”
or as expansion anchors in solid walls.

Mount antenna over-head and within line of site to transmitters.
The dipole antenna’s reception is strongest at the sides of the
antenna with a null point at the tip. Therefore, it is best to tilt the
antenna so that the side faces the transmitters.
• Wall Mount (Fig. 8).
• Ceiling Mount (Fig. 9, 10, 11).
• Ceiling Mount RX with PoE to CONVERGE Pro 2
or Beamforming Mic Array 2 (Fig. 11).
• AV Rack Mount (Fig. 12).
Separation distance of antennas should be a minimum of
2’ (ft.) and maximum of 30’ (ft.).

4Attach the other end of the extension cable to the Dialog 20 Receiver and secure
by using a non-conductive adhesive on the threads of the Female TNC Connector.
Attach TNC panel mount connector (C) and permanently secure
both the antenna and the extension cable (E) to the antenna
extension bracket (A) by using a non-conductive adhesive on the
threads of both sides of the TNC Panel Mount Connector (Fig. 8) .
