Installation Considerations
1. The standard hardware included with the microphone is intended to be clipped to ceiling
tracks with the standard inverted “T” shaped cross-section, and with the horizontal part of
that “T” to be either 9/16” (14 mm) or 15/16” (24 mm) in width. Also, the Ceiling should be
located at a distance between 8 feet (2.4m) and 10.5 feet (3.2m) from the floor. For ceiling
arrangements other than those listed above, four eyebolts are included to allow the
microphone assembly to be fastened to the ceiling with chains, rope, or other hanging
implements. TANDBERG also offers the
AudioScience Comprehensive Mounting Kit
. This
kit includes anchors and hangings for ceilings ranging in height from 7.5 feet (2.3m) to 16 feet
(4.9m) and should be suitable for nearly all-ceiling types. Consult with your TANDBERG
Dealer to order one of these kits if necessary.
2.
The standard cable included with the microphone is 47 feet (14.4 meters) long and plenum
rated to comply with fire code regulations. This allows the microphone to be mounted up to
about 30 “ceiling feet” (9.2 meters) away from the system. If the microphone is mounted
further away, additional cable needs to be ordered. This cable is available in several standard
lengths and can be ordered from your local TANDBERG Representative.
3. When mounted at the recommended height, the microphone assembly has a horizontal pickup
range of about 14 feet (4.3 meters). This means that all seating positions should be within this
range of the microphone capsule. If there are substantial numbers of desired seating positions
outside this area, then additional microphones may need to be installed.
4. The microphone cable should be routed from the microphone on the ceiling to the system on
the floor in an aesthetic manner, such as within a conduit or wall “punch-out”.
5. The AudioScience microphone is currently limited for use on the TANDBERG Educator,
TANDBERG HCSIII, TANDBERG Vision 800, TANDBERG Vision 2500, TANDBERG
Vision 5000, TANDBERG vision 6000, TANDBERG vision 7000, and other approved
systems. Other applications will be documented, as they become available.
