I have used one to cover 14ft without issue. True Coverage will depend on other noise in the room and installation configuration. As noise increases, your gain should be lowered to block out other sounds.
The Room Kit EQ codec can technically work with 3 Table Mic Pros by default or up to 8 if you buy the AV integrator license for the codec. The back of the unit has one network connection to run to your general network and 4 additional ports for connecting the peripherals. So, the number of mics you can directly connect may be limited based on other devices connected. That said, you can also connect a small POE switch to the unit in order to add more ports. As far as pairing goes, the mics pair automatically when connected directly to the codec as they are hardwired.
@@IngramMicroBTCCisco Thanks very much for the reply. Ok so you are saying that switch is connected directly to the codec and the mics connected to the switch. Is it possible to connect to the corporate network (PoE) and set them on the same broadcast domain as the codec?
Correct, it is recommended to connect the switch to the codec's local ports. Connecting through the LAN can result in audio lag due to other data traffic on the network.
@@IngramMicroBTCCisco Great news, I will test on the LAN as it will greatly reduce the cabling needs for an existing room. How about pairing the mics to the codec, presumably not too difficult?
From my understanding, you would need to connect directly to the unit. If connecting elsewhere, the codec may not find the mic pro. Cisco recommends using a switch from the CBS250, CBS350, or C1200 series. The Cisco device recognizes these switches and assigns an IP address to them.

Holy! That's pristine audio quality!
Any idea on how much coverage these offer? We have a large meeting space and are questioning if we need more than 3 and the AV integrator license.

How many mic pros can the EQ take and how do you pair this mic?
