[cisco-voip] Wireless Mics for MX Series

Thank you for the response. All I need is a wireless mic solution such as Revolabs table top wireless Mics. I understand the technology itself is not basic but having compatibility options for generally available universal third party wireless mic solutions in my mind is basic. When I can get wireless Mics for a several hundred dollar Cisco 8831 I would expect something to be available for an MX300 that costs thousands. Even if it is Cisco having a doc that tells me what to purchase and what the base settings need to be. I know there is a solution out there somewhere just surprised Cisco has not provided end users with supported configurations. Based on some forum searching, the problem people are seeing with this seems to be the non-industry standard mic plug they use so the proprietary mic can have a mute button on it.

Reason: I am tied of techs having to tape down the wires for the Mics so people don't trip on them. Also tired of not being able to reach Mics to some users. The wired Mics are fine for a stationary unit at the end of a conference table but when it is on wheels moving from room to room, wired is not so great.

As for the rest of the questions that would vary widely depending on room and setup. I am not trying to do anything fancy, I just need 2 wireless Mics I can set in front of presenters that will send audio to a base that will plug in to the codec and work whether it is an MX200G2 or MX300.

Been using a Revolabs 2 channel unit that mixes in to a single channel output to the codec. Some forum users have had luck and some have not. I have been able to get it to work but the audio quality is not consistent. Seems like a fine tuning setting between the Revolabs mixer and the codec.

Thanks again!

That is definitely more of an A/V conversation than a Cisco one. The A/V support is really up to you. There are thousands of room and acoustic configurations to account for. Wireless audio isn't a basic thing and to think a RadioShack 2.4Ghz mix solution is going to fit everyone's needs isn't realistic. The 750Mhz and 900Mhz wireless mics are still viable solutions.

So with all that side I've got a few questions -
What is the actual endpoint? Does it use speakertrack?
What are the room dimensions?
What are the table dimensions?
How many people are planned to be at the table?
Are you doing a presenter or whiteboard microphone?
Is there a giant reason wireless microphones are needed over corded?
How are you anticipating multiple audio channels or everyone is everything on the audio input?

Thanks!

Subject: [cisco-voip] Wireless Mics for MX Series

Has anyone had any luck integrating a 3rd party wireless mic solution with an MX series Telepresence endpoint? I am being told by TAC there is no recommended solution and cannot understand how on earth a product of this expense lacks such a basic feature or at the very least a supported solution with a Cisco partner. I tried a Revolabs mic with special cord recommended on the Cisco forums for a C series codec but I get all kinds of noise. I just believe there has to be something out there to address this need. Having to use the corded mics is a real pain in a mobile setting.

Thanks
