Planning the position of microphones | microphones accessories on a 
ceiling

To mount the product to a ceiling panel or wooden board:

Choose the positions of the microphones or flush mounts on the ceiling
so that

– they are located directly above or in close proximity to the speaker,

– neither the speaker nor other persons can hit their heads on the

microphones or can get caught in hanging cables.

When ceiling mounting, observe the applicable fire protection
requirements for the building.
