Installing the Microphone
Follow these steps to mount the microphone:
To mount the microphone start by installing the microphone cable in a concealed area,
where the cable will not get damaged, typically down the drivers pillar, the microphone
can then be simply left exposed to a short distance as per the picture below. The
microphone should be installed in a location that is no greater than 45cm / 1’6” away
from the driver. Distance greater than this will cause an attenuated voice level
received.
The microphone can also be installed in the centre of the cabin if required so it is
central to the vehicles interior space.
Follow these guidelines for positioning the microphone:
1. Do not place the microphone so that the visor can block it when flipped up or
down.
2. Do not place the microphone where it is exposed to direct air flow from an open
window
3. Route the cable carefully to ensure that it does not get crimped by any heavy
objects or enclosures this will avoid damaging the cable.
4. Ensure the Microphone is not installed in a location that is subject to excessive
driving or this may impact on the call quality.
