Connecting Microphone Units

Microphone units are connected in sequence (daisy-chain) using the two RJ45 ports. The connectors are interchangeable;
simply connect the previous unit to one port, and the following unit to the other port. Always use shielded Cat5e (or higher)
cabling for reliable system performance.
To protect the equipment, ensure that the Central Unit (CU) is always off when connecting or disconnecting the
microphone units.
1. Power off the CU to protect the equipment during set up.
2. Connect the CU output to the first microphone unit with the shielded Cat5e cable.

3. Connect the rest of the microphone units in sequence, using the RJ45 jacks on the bottom of each unit.
4. Turn on the CU by pressing the power button. The microphone units will power on. The unit is stable once the control
button LEDs stop flashing.
Note: Do not turn off CU power until the system has stabilized
