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.
