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.

Selecting a Mounting Location
The mounting location of the AudioScience microphone can be determined through the
application of five principles. These principles are to be used as a general guide as to locating the
microphone. Adherence to these principles will allow the AudioScience microphone to function
at its highest potential. If, due to other concerns, the microphone has to be mounted in a less than
ideal position or manner, it will still function, and may function quite well, but not as well as it is
capable of.
1. All desirable seating positions should be within 14 horizontal feet (4.3 meters) of the
microphone capsule, with an unobstructed line of sight to the microphone capsule.
2. The supplied hardware is for mounting the microphone to ceilings that are between 8 feet
(2.4m), and 10.5 feet (3.2m) high. With those ceiling heights, the bottom of the rear deflector
will be between 6.5 feet (2m) and 9 feet (2.7m) above the floor. If the microphone needs to
be hung in rooms with ceiling heights greater or less than this recommended range, either
order the AudioScience Comprehensive Mounting Kit, or arrange some sort of alternative
mounting system.
3. All undesirable noise sources should be blocked from reaching the microphone capsule by one
or both boundaries of the microphone.
