The ClearOne 910-3200-210 is a specialized mounting hardware kit designed for the secure and professional installation of ClearOne microphone array units, such as the CHAT 150, onto various ceiling and wall surfaces. This kit transforms the microphone from a tabletop device into a permanently installed system component, which is essential for integrated conference rooms, classrooms, and boardrooms where aesthetics, cable management, and optimal microphone placement are priorities. The surface mount kit provides a clean, low-profile appearance, allowing the microphone to be positioned at the ideal location in the room—typically centered above a conference table—for optimal audio pickup while keeping cables and power supplies concealed within the ceiling plenum or wall cavity.

The kit typically includes a mounting bracket or backplate specifically engineered to interface with the microphone unit's housing, along with all necessary screws, anchors, and cable management accessories. The design ensures a secure mechanical connection that prevents movement or vibration, which could cause noise. It also often incorporates features to facilitate proper cable routing, such as a central grommet or pass-through, allowing the microphone's attached cable to be neatly run into the ceiling and down to the connected audio processor or power source. This thoughtful integration is key to achieving a professional, installer-grade finish that meets the standards of commercial AV installations.

Installation requires basic tools and involves marking the mounting location, securing the bracket to the structural surface (drywall, ceiling tile T-bar, or concrete), attaching the microphone to the bracket, and managing the cable run. By using this dedicated kit, installers ensure the microphone is reliably positioned according to the manufacturer's recommendations for its polar pattern and beamforming technology, which is critical for achieving the advertised performance in terms of pickup range and sound quality. For system integrators deploying ClearOne's beamforming microphone solutions in fixed installations, the 910-3200-210 Surface Mount Kit is an essential component that guarantees both mechanical stability and a polished final appearance.
