TRIO Mic I/O and TRIO Mic Arrays

Breakout Interface for use with TRIO Acoustic Echo Canceling Microphones

Overview:

The Vaddio™ TRIO Mic I/O interface enables the TRIO Acoustic Echo Canceling Microphones to be used with any professional audio mixer. Connect the TRIO Ceiling or Table Mics to the TRIO Mic I/O interface and instantly make any mixer capable of Acoustic Echo Cancellation for use in conferencing applications.

Vaddio TRIO Table and Ceiling Microphones incorporate SmartMic technology along with built-in DSPs for the ultimate in simple control and maximum performance. The technology integrates automatic microphone mixing, wideband echo cancelation, noise reduction, and automated gain control into the microph ones and eliminates the need for super expensive, hard to program and operate conferencing mixers.

Like many Vaddio products, a simple Cat-5 cable connection and no clumsy software configuration makes the TRIO microphones as simple to install as traditional bound ary or celling microphones. T he TRIO Mic I/O connects up to four T RIO Microphones over Cat-5 cables. The Cat-5 cable carries po wer to the microphone and returns the pr ocessed audio from the TRIO mics. The TRIO Mic I/O has four (4) individual li ne level balanced outputs, e ach representing the echo c anceled audio channel from the individual TRIO mics. An Acoustical Echo Cancellation (AEC) Referen ce input channel is included on the rear panel for connection to the far-end audio signal coming into the conference room. The AEC Reference channel is needed for the TRIO mic to keep the far-end audio from going into the room mics and echoing b ack to the far-end.

The TRIO Table and Ceiling microphones each have three (3) mic elements, provide a 360º pickup pattern and con nect to the TRIO Mic I/O with a Cat-5 cable for power and audio. The T RIO Ceiling Mic has a plenum safe sealed enclosure for the electronics and a 36” (914.4mm) drop cable to a 2.5” (63.5mm) spherical shaped mic array. The T RIO Ceiling Mics come in either a dark charcoal or a white version. The combi nation of the T RIO Mic I/O , the T RIO T able Mics or the TRIO Ceiling Mics turns any mixer into an automatic mixer with wideband echo cancelation, noise reduction, and automated gain control.

TRIO MIC I/O and TRIO Microphones

The TRIO Echo Canceling Microphones

The TRIO Microphones with SmartMic technology add digital signal processing and echo cancellation to any professional audio mixer. TRIO mics are available in two versions:

The TRIO Table Mic Array

 Attractive echo cancelling table microphone

TRIO Table Mic Array

 Three (3) mic elements providing a 360º degree pickup pattern  Connects to the TRIO Mic I/O with a single Cat-5 cable that carries

audio and power.

The TRIO Ceiling Mic Array

 Small 2.5” (63.5mm) Mic Array blends into the room  360º coverage pattern created with three (3) mic elements

TRIO Ceiling Mic Arrays (white left, black right)

 Includes a plenum safe interface box, tile support brace and an

adjustable 36” long cable to the microphone array head.

 The TRIO Ceiling Mics (mic and cable) available in black and white.

Pair the TRIO Mics with the TRIO Mic I/O interface to produce four (4) standard, balanced line level output channels and simply connect the signals to the room audio mixer. Connecting a single echo canceling

TRIO Ceiling Mic with Above-ceiling electronics enclosure, drop cable and 2.5” spherical array (in black)

reference channel from the room mixer to the TRIO Mic I/O completes the interface with any audio mixer.
