Mic Pod Pendant Mount

What the Logitech Mic Pod Pendant Mount does

The Logitech Mic Pod Pendant Mount is a ceiling accessory for Rally Mic Pod microphones. It lets you hang a pod from the ceiling instead of fixing it to a table, which helps in rooms with tall ceilings, tables that cannot take a microphone, or unusual furniture layouts. A single overhead pickup point can cover people seated across a wide area, so speech from the far end of a large room is captured more evenly.

Part number 952-000123 is supplied in off-white. Against a light ceiling the colour blends in, so the mount is less obtrusive than a table-top device, which suits boardrooms and reception-facing meeting rooms.

Dimensions and what is in the box

The package contains a ceiling mount, a mic holder, mounting hardware and a quick start guide. The ceiling mount measures 80 mm high and 82 mm wide, while the mic holder measures 56 mm high and 145 mm wide. Check these figures against the space above the table before ordering, particularly where ceiling lights, air-conditioning outlets or cable trays sit close to the planned position.

• Ceiling mount: 80 mm high, 82 mm wide
• Mic holder: 56 mm high, 145 mm wide
• Mounting hardware and quick start guide included

Fixing to drop ceilings and solid ceilings

The mount is designed to secure the mic pod to both drop ceilings, meaning suspended tile systems, and solid ceilings such as concrete slabs. The ceiling type in your room determines the fixing method. In a suspended tile ceiling the load should be carried by the structure above the tile grid rather than the grid itself, so SmartRooms Qatar recommends a free site survey before installation to confirm the position and fixing.

Where it fits in Qatar

A university lecture theatre in Education City with a large seating area can use pendant-mounted pods above the audience, so questions from the back rows are picked up without a roving microphone. A private school in Al Wakrah fitting out a large multipurpose hall can keep floor and table space clear by ceiling-mounting its conferencing mics. A ministry boardroom in Msheireb with a fixed table that cannot accept cable-mounted microphones is another typical case. In each, the room layout must be checked against the mount's dimensions.

What to plan before you order

• Confirm whether the ceiling is a drop ceiling or a solid ceiling.
• Leave clearance around the position for the 145 mm wide holder.
• Confirm that your microphones are Rally Mic Pod units.
• Plan the cable route from each pod to the conferencing system.

Product data for this mount does not list an operating temperature range. Confirm conditions with the SmartRooms Qatar team before fitting near a window or in any space that is not air-conditioned, bearing in mind that summer temperatures in Qatar regularly exceed 45°C.
