Preparing for a Successful Audio Installation
Here are a few tips for avoiding common audio problems.
n
The effective range for each Vaddio conference room microphone is about 12 ft. (3.7 m) under most
circumstances. Be sure the room design includes enough microphones to provide adequate coverage.
n
Tabletop microphones have a small area of reduced sensitivity directly above their upper surface, as
they are designed to pick up the voices of people seated at the conference table. They perform best
when placed along the centerline of the table.
n
To prevent audio feedback, keep microphones at least 4 ft. (1.2 m) from the room's speakers. More
separation is better.
n
Always place microphones closer to the people talking than to the room's speakers. This helps maintain
quality echo cancellation.
n
Avoid contact with hockey sticks.

Cabling Notes
The TableMIC is shipped with one Cat-5e cable to connect it to your conferencing installation.
