Setup Instructions

Package Contents

Please verify that all components are present in your package. Refer to the product packaging for a detailed list of included items.

Connecting the Microphone

1. Place the RM702 microphone on a stable, flat surface in your desired conference or meeting area.
2. Connect the microphone to your device (PC, Mac, or conference system) using one of the available connectivity options:
   • RJ-45: For a stable wired network connection, especially when utilizing Power over Ethernet (PoE) for both power and data transmission.
   • USB 2.0 Type C: For direct connection to a computer.
   • Auxiliary Jack: For analog audio input/output connections.
3. Ensure all connections are secure before proceeding.

This image illustrates how multiple RM702 microphones can be cascaded using Power over Ethernet (PoE) to provide distributed audio pickup and uniform coverage in medium to large conference rooms. Each microphone has an effective pickup distance of 3 meters.

Operating Instructions

Basic Operation

The RM702 microphone is designed for plug-and-play functionality with most compatible systems. Once connected, it should be automatically recognized by your operating system or conference software. No additional drivers are typically required.

Omni-directional Pickup

The microphone features a 360° omni-directional polar pattern, allowing it to capture sound from all directions. This design ensures that all participants around the microphone are heard clearly without needing to adjust the microphone's physical position.

This diagram shows the 360° omnidirectional pickup capability of the RM702 microphone. It features a high signal-to-noise ratio ring-shaped microphone array design, allowing speakers to move freely within a larger range in the room.

AI Audio Algorithms

The RM702 incorporates advanced AI audio algorithms, utilizing blind beamforming technology to automatically locate sound sources and capture them accurately. This technology enhances voice clarity and provides superior interference capabilities by effectively reducing unwanted background noise such as echo, air conditioning hum, and keyboard clicks.

This image visually represents the AI audio algorithms at work, demonstrating how the microphone filters out various background noises like echo, air conditioning, general noise, and keyboard sounds, while enhancing the speaker's voice.

Cascading Multiple Microphones

For larger meeting spaces, up to six RM702 microphones can be cascaded using Power over Ethernet (PoE). This setup enables distributed audio pickup and uniform coverage across the entire room, ensuring optimal sound quality for all participants.

This image depicts a large meeting room setup (16-25 people, 60-120m²) utilizing multiple RM702 microphones as part of a comprehensive solution. The solution includes 4K conferencing cameras, cascading digital array microphones, a conference host, conference speakers, and a room controller, providing a professional audio-visual experience.

Maintenance

• Keep the microphone clean by wiping it with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials.
• Avoid exposing the microphone to extreme temperatures, high humidity, or direct sunlight, as these conditions can damage the device.
• Do not attempt to disassemble the microphone. Unauthorized disassembly may void the product warranty and cause damage.

Troubleshooting

No Sound Output

• Ensure the microphone is securely connected to your device via RJ-45, USB-C, or Auxiliary Jack.
• Verify that the RM702 microphone is selected as the primary input device in your computer's sound settings or conference software.
• Check the input volume levels on your device and within the conference application to ensure they are not muted or set too low.

Poor Sound Quality / Background Noise

• Ensure the microphone is placed on a stable surface away from vibrating objects or sources of interference.
• Confirm that the AI Audio Algorithms are active in your software settings (if applicable) to effectively reduce ambient noise.
• If cascading multiple microphones, ensure they are properly connected and configured according to the setup instructions.

Microphone Not Recognized

• Try connecting the microphone to a different USB port or network port on your device.
• Restart your computer or conference system to refresh device connections.
• Check for any available driver updates for your operating system or conference software that might improve device compatibility.
