Installing the FreeSpeak Edge Transceiver
The Edge transceiver can be mounted on a wall or on a microphone stand. It also has a lanyard hole for convenient hanging. The transceiver will transmit audio in any position but it must be fixed in an upright position in order for the cooling mechanism to work properly.
| Note: | This unit MUST have a 4-inch clearance above and below to allow for safe operating conditions. |
| Note: | This unit MUST NOT be installed above other heat sources because this will reduce the performance. |
The transcievers must be cabled to your AES67 network.
Wall Mounting
The transceiver can be attached to the wall mounting plate with a simple push and downward press movement (lift and pull to remove).
The wall mounting plate has a variety of fixing options. Chose the method that is most suited to the surface you are fixing the device to. The wall mounting plate contains four mounting holes for size # 6 wood screws.
Microphone/Camera Stand Mounting
The transceiver has two possible microphone stand connectors on the bottom of the device (3/8 and 5/8 inch). It also has a spigot socket (5/8 inch).
Orientation and Height of the Edge Transceiver
The Edge transceiver will transmit audio in an omnidirectional RF pattern at any orientation. However, in order to achieve optimum environmental performance (temperature and water resistance) it must be fixed in an upright position. Please refer to the chart below for details.

| Note: | For best performance the transceiver should be positioned 6 - 8 feet (1.8 - 2.4 m) above the floor and 2 feet (0.6 m) below the ceiling. |
| Note: | In areas that have more than one transceiver, the devices should not be less than 10 feet (3 m) apart. If the transceivers are placed too close together there is a possibility that the performance of the device will be impaired. |
