Loudspeakers
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. Part number 910-153-050.
• 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
rack.
For best audio performance
• Use the provided cables.
• Do not move microphones while on a call.
• Speak at a normal conversation level and direct your voice toward the microphones.
• Do not place microphones next to fans, projectors or computers.
