Product Description
The Vaddio EasyIP CeilingMIC/AMP D is a top - notch in - ceiling audio solution. It combines an overhead microphone and a built - in speaker amplifier, both with Dante networked audio. This 2 - in - 1 device offers a PoE+ network connection, an overhead mic, and a powered speaker output. It's a cost - effective way to integrate a microphone and a passive speaker into an EasyIP or Dante audio system. Dante simplifies project installation by enabling digital signal transmission over the network. Part of Vaddio’s expanding EasyIP AV - over - IP ecosystem, the single output can power one or multiple speakers (when wired in series or parallel, with a total load of at least 4 ohms). With 360 - degree pickup coverage, one unit can cover an average - sized meeting room table. In larger spaces, add more microphones as limited by network switch ports. Use the free Dante Controller software to manage microphone routing and system configuration. Each unit has the performance of three microphone elements in a single pendant enclosure. Every unidirectional cardioid mic element has integrated echo cancellation and Digital Signal Processing (DSP), including equalization, filtering, and automatic gain control (AGC). The DSP in the interface box gets its AEC reference from the far end, ensuring clear conference calls. You can easily configure and fine - tune the DSP using Vaddio’s desktop tool. Its plug - and - play design makes installation a breeze; just connect a Cat - 5e cable between the network switch PoE port and the microphone receiver. Power, control, and audio are all in one cable. The CeilingMIC pendant comes with a 3 ft. (0.9 meters) adjustable drop cable and can be extended to 15 ft. (4.6 meters) with a standard RJ45 jack connection. Key features include a 2 - in - 1 design for easy Dante networked audio implementation, a three - element microphone array for 360° coverage with echo cancellation, the ability to integrate an analog speaker into your EasyIP or Dante setup, Dante networked audio managed by the Dante Controller app, and PoE+ or PoE power with adaptive output (25 W from an EasyIP Switch or other PoE+ source, 15 W from a PoE source). The package includes the EasyIP CeilingMIC/AMP D (available in black or white), a 3 ft. (0.9 m) Cat - 6 cable (black or white), a 2 - conductor 5 mm Phoenix style plug for speaker cable, ceiling mounting hardware, and a Quick - Start card. It operates at 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C), is CE, FCC, and TAA certified, and has a 3 - year warranty.
Using the Vaddio EasyIP CeilingMIC/AMP D is easy. First, install it on the ceiling using the provided mounting hardware. Connect the Cat - 5e cable from the network switch PoE port to the microphone receiver. This single cable takes care of power, control, and audio. If you want to connect speakers, use the 2 - conductor 5 mm Phoenix style plug to make a cable to the speaker. You can power one speaker or multiple speakers in series or parallel, but make sure the total load is at least 4 ohms. When using it in a meeting room, one unit can cover an average - sized table. For larger spaces, add more microphones as your network switch ports allow. Use the free Dante Controller software to manage how the microphones are routed and configure the system. You can also use Vaddio’s desktop tool to configure and fine - tune the Digital Signal Processing. As for maintenance, keep it clean and make sure it's operating within the temperature range of 32° to 104°F (0° to 40°C). If you have any issues, refer to the warranty information. It has a 3 - year warranty, so you can have peace of mind.
