EasyMic Ceiling MicPOD: For some of the most obvious reasons, a ladder is required to install
the Ceiling MicPODs and EasyTalk ceiling speakers into a ceiling with acoustic tile. Safety
comes first, so please use safe tools, ladders and install practices. Measure twice cut once…
STEP 1: Identify desired location of the ceiling tile for the EasyMic Ceiling MicPOD to be installed. Use the Tile
Support Brace as a template. Measure, then cut a 7/8” hole into ceiling tile - be very accurate with cutting the
hole. Score the front of the tile to get a clean cut.
STEP 2: Install the included Tile Support Brace by aligning ceiling tile hole with openings on the bridge. There
are hanging holes along the folded up edges of the tile brace so that it can be tied to the building structure.
STEP 3: Remove top cover on the Ceiling MicPOD Interface Module.
STEP 4: Place the Ceiling MicPOD Interface Module on the installed Tile Support Brace with the feed-through
coupler extending through the hole in brace and ceiling tile.
STEP 5: Install the Microphone Array head by feeding drop cable through the 7/8” coupler and plug into the RJ-
45 connector labeled IN FROM MIC on the interior of the Ceiling Interface Module. Make sure trim cover and the
1.5” white plastic trim ring is slid over the MicPOD RJ-45 Jack prior to feeding drop cable through coupler. Adjust
hanging length of Mic Array Head by placing service loop into strain relief clamp. Lock relief clamp once desired
ceiling hanging height is achieved. Screw trim cover onto feed-through coupler until flush with the 1.5” white
plastic trim ring and theceiling tile.
STEP 6: Route CAT-5 connector originating from the EasyUSB Mixer/Amp through the conduit coupler on the
end of the Ceiling Interface Module. Connect CAT-5 cable to the internal connector labeled OUT TO MIXER.
Re-attach the lid cover removed in STEP 3.
