EasyTalk USB Solutions Installing the Ceiling MicPOD: For some of the most obvious reasons, a ladder is required to install the Ceiling MicPODs and EasyTalk ceiling speakers into a ceiling with acoustic tile. Safety comes first, so please use safe tools, ladders and install practices. Measure twice cut once... STEP 1: Identify desired location of the ceiling tile for the EasyMic Ceiling MicPOD to be installed. Use the Tile Support Brace as a template. Measure, then cut a 7/8" hole into ceiling tile - be very accurate with cutting the hole. Score the front of the tile to get a clean cut. STEP 2: Install the included Tile Support Brace by aligning ceiling tile hole with openings on the bridge. There are hanging holes along the folded up edges of the tile brace so that it can be tied to the building structure. STEP 3: Remove top cover on the Ceiling MicPOD Interface Module. STEP 4: Place the Ceiling MicPOD Interface Module on the installed Tile Support Brace with the feed-through coupler extending through the hole in brace and ceiling tile. STEP 5: Install the Microphone Array head by feeding drop cable through the 7/8" coupler and plug into the RJ45 connector labeled IN FROM MIC on the interior of the Ceiling Interface Module. Make sure trim cover and the 1.5" white plastic trim ring is slid over the MicPOD RJ-45 Jack prior to feeding drop cable through coupler. Adjust hanging length of Mic Array Head by placing service loop into strain relief clamp. Lock relief clamp once desired ceiling hanging height is achieved. Screw trim cover onto feed-through coupler until flush with the 1.5" white plastic trim ring and the ceiling tile. STEP 6: Route CAT-5 connector originating from the EasyUSB Mixer/Amp through the conduit coupler on the end of the Ceiling Interface Module. Connect CAT-5 cable to the internal connector labeled OUT TO MIXER. Reattach the lid cover removed in STEP 3.
