MICROPHONE ARRAY PLACEMENT
Determine placement of an array by its pickup pattern and room
characteristics. Adjusting drop-down height from 0 to 7 ft. determines
how close an array is to users, and how far its pickup pattern extends.
INSTALLATION
1. Drop the ceiling tile where you are installing the microphone array.
2. Place the Junction Box in the space above the suspended ceiling
where you want to place the microphone array.
3. If mounting, secure screws. You must supply your own screws
appropriate to your mounting structure.
NOTE: Mount ears are pre-installed on the Junction Box, with
holes sized for M3 or #6 size screws.
IMPORTANT: Installer is responsible for making sure structure
can support the weight of all equipment. Reinforce ceiling
structure as necessary.
