VERVIEW

Vaddio’s TRIO Microphone solution allows echo cancellation to be added to any professional audio mixer for conferencing applications. No complex DSP programming required.

Vaddio TRIO Table and Ceiling Microphone Arrays 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 microphones and eliminates the need for super expensive, hard to program and operate conferencing mixers.

Pair the TRIO microphones with the TRIO MIC I/O interface device to provide four balanced line level output channels that easily connect to a room’s audio mixer. A single Echo Cancelling Reference input to the TRIO MICI/O completes the interface with the audio mixer.

The TRIO microphone system solution is comprised of the following devices:  TRIO Mic I/O Interface (above):

The TRIO Mic I/O provides an audio breakout interface for use with Vaddio’s TRIO Microphones. Seamlessly interface up to four (4) TRIO Mics to a professional audio mixer. The TRIO MIC I/O segments each microphone device into a line level balanced output for connection to audio input of a professional audio mixer. A single AEC Reference input is connected to the TRIO Mic I/O from the room mixer to complete the installation for echo cancelling microphones.

 TRIO Table Microphone Array:

The TRIO Table Microphone Array is an attractive echo cancelling table microphone with 360º audio coverage pattern and reach of approximately 12’ (3.66m) in radius. Three cardioid microphones and built-in DSP comprise the device. The TRIO Table Microphone connects to the TRIO Mic I/O with single home run of Cat-5 cable providing audio and power.

 TRIO Ceiling Microphone Array: The echo cancelling ceiling microphone with 360º

audio pick-up pattern formed by a 3-microphone element array. It includes a plenum rated interface box with a microphone head on adjustable 36” drop cable. The TRIO Ceiling Microphones are offered in both black and white versions.

Intended Use:

Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply and cabling. The use of a power supply other than the one provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the device and/or create a potentially unsafe operating condition.

Important Safeguards:

Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged. In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock, do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions. Do not connect Ethernet or Power over Ethernet (POE) cables directly to the RJ-45 ports on the device as damage may be the result.

Use only the power supply provided with the system. Use of any unauthorized power supply will void any and all warranties.

Save These Instructions:

The information contained in this manual will help you install and operate your product. If these instructions are misplaced, Vaddio keeps copies of Specifications, Installation and User Guides and most pertinent product drawings for the Vaddio product line on the Vaddio website.

Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not w ork well for professional installations and can be the cause o f intermittent connections which can result in the RS-232 control line failing and locking up. For best results please use standard RJ-45 co nnectors and test all cables for proper pin-outs prior to use.
