Cisco Wired Microphone

The Cisco Wired Microphone is a premium audio accessory engineered to elevate every meeting, interview, or training session. Built for clarity, precision, and reliability, this microphone delivers natural, intelligible speech in conference rooms, home offices, and corporate spaces that rely on Cisco collaboration systems. With a thoughtful blend of high-quality components, ergonomic design, and seamless integration, it helps teams communicate more effectively, reduce miscommunication, and participate more confidently in every dialog. Whether you’re leading a boardroom discussion, hosting a remote client briefing, or conducting large-scale webinars, this wired microphone helps you be heard—and understood—every time.

• The Cisco Wired Microphone delivers crystal-clear voice reproduction with a cardioid pickup pattern that focuses on the speaker while minimizing ambient room noise. This makes it ideal for busy environments, ensuring every word is captured accurately and with minimal distortion. Its broad frequency response and controlled sensitivity help preserve the natural tone of the human voice, so presentations sound professional and engaging across Cisco’s conferencing platforms.
• Designed for seamless integration with Cisco collaboration ecosystems, this microphone supports plug-and-play operation with compatible Cisco devices. It’s optimized for use with Cisco Meeting Server, WebEx devices, and room kits, providing reliable, consistent performance without complicated setup. The result is a streamlined conferencing experience where participants spend less time configuring audio and more time collaborating.
• Built for durability and everyday use, the Cisco Wired Microphone features a robust construction and a compact, desk-friendly profile. Its lightweight housing is designed for stable placement on tables, podiums, or mounted on standard mic stands, making it versatile for executive offices, training rooms, or home office studios. The microphone’s finish and mounting compatibility project a professional, understated aesthetic in any setting.
• Flexibility is at the core of its design. The microphone supports multiple placement options to suit various room geometries and user preferences. Whether you need a fixed desk setup, a boom-arm configuration, or an attachable desk stand, this mic adapts to your space, ensuring optimal distance from the mouth for consistent gain and tonal balance.
• Beyond voice pickup, the microphone is engineered to improve overall meeting intelligibility. Features like controlled gain, low self-noise, and robust electromagnetic compatibility help minimize feedback and interference. This results in more reliable audio fidelity during important conferences, training sessions, and large-scale webcasts, so every attendee hears the speaker clearly regardless of room acoustics.

How to install Cisco Wired Microphone

• Unbox the microphone and verify all parts are present: microphone unit, windscreen, stand adapter, and installation guide.
• Identify a compatible Cisco device where the microphone will be used, such as a conference room PC, room kit, or docking station, ensuring the device has an appropriate mic input or interface as specified by Cisco for wired peripherals.
• Connect the microphone to the designated input port on the Cisco system using the included cable. If your setup requires an adapter or an optional interface, attach it per the device’s user guide and the microphone’s quick-start instructions.
• Position the microphone on a stable surface or attach it to a mic stand boom, placing it approximately 6 to 12 inches from the speaker’s mouth for optimal gain and clarity. Place the windscreen over the microphone head to minimize plosive sounds.
• Power up the Cisco device and run a quick audio test. Adjust the gain, level, and any automatic gain control settings to achieve clean, natural voice reproduction. Verify echo cancellation and noise suppression settings are enabled if your Cisco system supports them, and perform a brief test call to ensure consistent performance.
