The CCRM 4000 is available with either a single element (C3) or a tri element (C303) microphone. Both microphones, available in either black or white finish, provide an excellent pickup and proven audio quality. Definition of whether the product appears as a Main or Secondary device is defined by the settings on the two rotary decimal encoders.

Connect the microphone on to the Mini XLR connector (push fit). WARNING: Do not operate the CCRM 4000 without connecting the microphone. Remove any kinks or bends in the cable by gripping the cable with your hands and pass it through a clean dry cloth a few times.
Drill a 16mm (5/8") diameter hole. Pass the sensor through the hole and secure it using the C clip. Connect the cable to the IR sensor input Socket 1 (IR) on the CCRM 4000 unit. IR sensor has 2 coloured LED’s: Green illumination while in programme mode and Red during normal operation.
Important: When using a DSP to control the system ensure that the DSP control signal is already outputting +V to Socket 3 (DSP IN) on the CCRM 4000 Main unit (+2.5 to 12 Volts) before powering the system up. Otherwise the DSP command will not be recognised by the system and unit will fail to operate.
Horizontal / Vertical mounting Apart from mounting the CCRM 4000 units in the ceiling space, these units can also be mounted on a wall or a bracket attached to the ceiling. In either case a secure bezel attachment, where the microphone emanates from, will need to be addressed by the installer.
4 Controls and Connectors On both sides of the CCRM 4000 there are controls and connectors. Description Connector Power Two +18VDC power connectors are provided. One can be used for power In, while the other can be used to distribute power to the next daisy chained unit.

Connect the microphone audio output to DSP audio input. Phantom power must be supplied to the microphone. For tri element CCRM 4000 use the link cable. DSP is used to mute the microphone. DSP Mute Control Each CCRM 4000 provides its mute status via Socket 3’s optically isolated open-collector output. The Secondary units cascade their status into the Main’s Socket 4.
Audio Out Socket The type of socket on the Audio out is dependent upon the type of CCRM 4000 that was purchased. Single Element version 5.4.1 On the single element CCRM 4000 audio output is provided via a 3 pin XLR connector for connection to a mixer of DSP.
The remote is primarily intended to allow the initial programming of the desired height for each individual CCRM 4000 in the system. The preferred operation is then by logic input from a DSP logic high of 2.5V to 12V to trigger release of the microphone to the programmed height; logic 0 low will raise the microphone.
IR Remote Control Additional Information When programming an incorrect address ID code, for example 32, and that address ID does not exist, it will just be ignored / nothing will happen when either the up-arrow or down- arrow keys are pressed. Wait 5 seconds and re-enter the correct address code. While initially programming the cable height, the Up and Down buttons work on a press and ...
