EasyMic Ceiling MicPOD

The EasyMic Ceiling Array consists of two assemblies; a microphone array head and Ceiling Interface Module.

The Ceiling Interface Module houses the electronics for the microphone and is typically installed above the ceiling

of the room. The Array Head includes the microphone elements and drop cable that is plugged into the Ceiling

Interface Box. The EasyMic Ceiling Array is a proprietary microphone system of the EasyTalk USB solution.

The Ceiling Interface Module is designed for above ceiling installation requiring plenum rating. A removable top

cover allows user access to connect required cables. The assembly can also be mounted below ceiling securing

with standard anchors with the pre-drilled holes within the ears.

1) Strain Relief Clamp: The clamp is an adjustable cable clamp allowing the installer to fix the MicPOD Array

Head at the desired distance from ceiling. The cable is 36” and can be shortened simply by leaving more cable

in the box tied around the clamp.

2) Array Head Drop Cable: A 36” cable terminated with a RJ-45 jack provides the connection of the MicPOD

Array Head to the processing board housed in the Ceiling Interface Module.

3) Feed-Through Coupler: A 5/8” threaded feed through coupler is used to feed the cable into the Ceiling

Interface Module. The coupler extends through a ceiling tile and ceiling tile brace or through a drywall hole in the

ceiling.

Note: Keep the pilot hole in the tile or drywall as close to 5/8” as possible.

4) Array Head Connector: An RJ-45 plug secures the connection of the Array Head with the internal processing

board. Connectors are clearly marked. “From Mic” and “To EasyUSB Mixer/Amp”

5) Internal PCBA: The board that supports the mic element providing DSP Functions and Acoustic Echo

Cancellation is located in the Ceiling Module.

6) EasyMic Port & Cable: A second RJ-45 jack is located on the processing board internal to the Ceiling

Interface Module. This is the EasyMic Port for connection of the device to the EasyUSB Mixer/Amp via a

standard CAT- 5 cable. The cable exits the Ceiling Interface Module via a standard conduit connector.
