Installing the CeilingMIC
Warning
Follow standard safety practices when using ladders or lifts. Failure to do so can result in injury or death.
We like you, we don't want you to be injured or killed, and we hope you understand the gravity of the situation.
Preparing the Ceiling Box
1. Remove the cover from the ceiling box.
2. Determine the desired length of the drop cable, from the ceiling to the top of the microphone body (not the top of
the strain relief boot). Be sure this leaves enough cable inside the ceiling box to avoid placing tension on the
connector.
Note
If desired, you can use a Cat-5 cable made to the desired length for the microphone drop-down cable. The cable
may be up to 15 ft. (4.6 m); contact Vaddio Technical Support if your installation requires a longer drop cable.
3.
Thread the drop cable through the opening in the floor of the box.
4. Snap the strain relief grommet onto the drop cable at the desired cable length, and press it
into the opening in the floor of the box.
5. Connect the drop cable to the port labeled IN FROM MIC.
6. If there is excess cable above the grommet, thread a zip tie through the tie loop in the side
of the box and secure the cable.
Preparing the Ceiling
If installing in a hard ceiling:
Using the tile brace as a template, make a hole in the ceiling where the microphone will be
mounted.
If installing in a suspended tile ceiling:
1. Remove the ceiling tile where the microphone will be mounted, and make a hole in the ceiling tile using the tile
brace as a template.
2. Reinstall the ceiling tile and position the tile brace.
Note
Because the CeilingMIC assembly weighs very little, the tile brace does not need to be physically attached to
the tile support grid unless this is required by local building codes.
