For best audio, place the microphone pod: 
❑ on a flat surface (table, wall, or ceiling) away from obstructions, so the sound 
will be directed into the microphone elements properly, 
❑ at least 3 ft (0.9 m) from the system, to prevent audio feedback
❑ centered in the area where call participants will be.
If you have two microphone cables, use the longer one to connect the microphone to the 
system. If you connect an additional microphone, use the shorter cable to connect it to the 
first one. The cable between microphones must not be longer than the cable from the system 
to the first microphone.
To connect a microphone pod:
>> Connect the microphone pod to the system’s microphone connector using the 
brown RJ-9 microphone cable. Ensure that the ferrite bead is on the end that 
connects to the system.
