Basic Room Design for RAV
To ensure best microphone and loudspeaker placement (ceiling
or wall-mount), please use the following guidelines. For more
i
nformation on Room Design, or to view the RAV online training
course, visit www.clearone.com.
Microphones
Center mic pods on the table at an equal distance apart. Place the
controller on the same table as the mics. In typical conferencing
environments, participants should be seated 4–8' from a mic pod.
Mic pick-up range is dependent on room conditions. Background noise,
reflective hard surfaces and the number of participants may affect the
pick-up range. Use the following guidelines for best placement of your
RAV mic pods and then adjust for your specific room conditions.
Ceiling-mount loudspeakers
For best performance, ceiling loudspeakers should be installed
directly above the microphone pods. If you have a RAV 900 with
three mic pods, install the ceiling loudspeakers above the first and
third mic pods.The ceiling speakers must be set to 8 Ohms. Please
refer to the Bose user manual for instructions.
Wall-mount loudspeakers
Place the left channel loudspeaker on the left side of the room and
the right channel loudspeaker on the right. (Refer to the label on the
back of each loudspeaker.) Make sure the back of each loudspeaker is
parallel to the front wall.
For best controller performance
• Do not install the RAV mixer in a metal cabinet unless you are
using the remote antenna accessory.
• Keep the mixer within line of sight of the controller, such as on
the top of a credenza.
• Ensure antenna is connected to the back of the mixer and is
pointed up.
• If installing the mixer in an equipment rack, make sure it is placed
at or near the top of the r
ack.
