each SoundStructure device depending on the SoundStructure model. With OBAM linked devices, a total
of 32 Polycom microphones may be added to a system of eight SoundStructure devices.
Microphones are numbered sequentially across SoundStructure devices as shown in the following figure
with microphones plugged into the right rear CLink2 port. As discussed in
Link2, Polycom digital microphones plugged into the SoundStructure's right rear Clink2 port are numbered
so that the closest microphone corresponds to the first Polycom microphone from SoundStructure Studio's

Note: Updating Polycom Microphones' Firmware
When using Polycom microphones, update the Polycom microphones to the latest
firmware by connecting each microphone one at a time to the SoundStructure
device. The SoundStructure device compares the version of microphone firmware
in the SoundStructure device with the firmware in the microphone. If the
SoundStructure device contains a newer version of microphone firmware, the
Polycom microphone is automatically updated with the new firmware.
