Preparing For InstallationThis guide provides information for the Polycom SoundStructure C16, SoundStructure C12, andSoundStructure C8 audio conferencing devices, and the SoundStructure SR12, a sound reinforcementproduct that is compatible with the Polycom SoundStructure C16, C12, and C8.This chapter contains the steps to follow before installing this new hardware and includes information on: Overview Installation Overview Package Contents Tools Needed for Installation Safety Recommendations General Site RequirementsTo install the Polycom SoundStructure hardware, refer to the section Installing the Hardware.OverviewThe SoundStructure C16, C12, and C8 audio conferencing devices are audio processing devices that have16 inputs and 16 outputs (C16), 12 inputs and 12 outputs (C12), and 8 inputs and 8 outputs (C8).The C16, C12, and C8 versions of this product line features acoustic echo cancellation (AEC), noisecancellation, automatic microphone mixing, matrix mixing, equalization, feedback elimination, dynamicsprocessing, delay, and submix processing.The SR12 does not include acoustic echo cancellation processing but does includes noise cancellation,automatic microphone mixing, matrix mixing, equalization, feedback elimination, dynamics processing,delay, and submix processing.All the SoundStructure products provide 24-bit A-D/D-A subsystems, 48 kHz sampling, and a dynamic rangeexceeding 100 dB. A Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) interface and two different Public SwitchedTelephone Network (PSTN) interfaces, a single-line and dual-line, are available.Product FeaturesThe Polycom SoundStructure C16, C12, C8 and SR12 offer the following features: 16 (C16), 12 (C12 and SR12), or 8 (C8) balanced Microphone/line-level inputs 48 V phantom power available on all inputs 16 (C16), 12 (C12 and SR12), or 8 (C8) balanced line-level outputs Rear-panel Ethernet and RS-232 interfaces Logic input and output ports (requires firmware v1.3 or higher)Polycom, Inc.7

A small blade screwdriver for terminating audio cables to the terminal blocks.Safety RecommendationsRead and understand the following instructions before using the system:Polycom, Inc.9
Hardware Installation Guide for the Polycom SoundStructure Always disconnect the system from power before inserting plug-in cards into the SoundStructuredevice. Only connect the system to surge protected power outlets. Only use electrical extension cords with a current rating at least equal to that of the system. Always disconnect the system from power before cleaning and servicing and when not in use. Do not spray liquids directly onto the system when cleaning. Always apply the liquid first to a staticfree cloth. Do not immerse the system in any liquid or place any liquids on it. Do not disassemble this system. To reduce the risk of shock and to maintain the warranty on thesystem, a qualified technician must perform service or repair work. Keep ventilation openings free of any obstructions. If the system or any accessories are installed in an enclosed space such as a cabinet or equipmentrack, ensure that the air temperature in the enclosure does not exceed 40 C (104 F). Forced coolingmay be required to keep the equipment within its operating temperature range.General Site RequirementsPlease ensure the SoundStructure side ventilation holes have at least 1 inch of clearance from the sides ofthe rack to allow airflow through the device. Failure to maintain clearance for airflow may increase theoperating temperature of the unit beyond its maximum operating temperature of 40 C (104 F).With the proper side clearance and airflow, each SoundStructure device requires one rack space and doesnot require additional empty rack spaces above or below the device. When mounting with other equipmentgive consideration to having access to the audio connectors on the rear-panel.When using SoundStructure with RealPresence Group 700 video codecs, install the SoundStructuredevices with at least one rack unit of space between the SoundStructure and the video codec.If you are placing the device on a tabletop or other flat surface (rather than rack- mounting it), it isrecommended to mount the adhesive rubber feet on the bottom of the device as shown in Rack-Mountingthe Polycom SoundStructure Device to prevent damaging the finish of the furniture surface.Power Supply ConsiderationsThe Polycom SoundStructure C16, C12, C8, and SR12 have the following power requirements on the linepower supplied to the devices: Input voltage of 100-240 VAC; 50-60 Hz Line power requirements (including 0.6 PF): 130 VA (C16), 115 VA (C12), 105 VA (SR12), 95 VA (C8)Polycom, Inc.10

(See Plug-in Card Installation.) Mount the SoundStructure device onto an equipment rack or other location. (See Rack-Mounting thePolycom SoundStructure Device.) Connect to LAN for control management. (See Connecting to the LAN Interface.) Use Conference Link2 to connect to Polycom HDX system. (See Connecting to the LAN Interface.) Use OBAM to connect multiple SoundStructure devices. (See Using Multiple SoundStructure Deviceswith OBAM Link Interface.) Connect IR port to optional receiver and/or RS-232 to control system. (See Connecting IR Port toOptional Receiver and RS-232 to Control System.) Connect other devices/equipment using analog input/output. (See Making Audio Connections.) Connect optional logic devices. (See Connecting Logic Ports.) Connect AC power. (See Powering the System.) Configure devices using SoundStructure Studio software. (See Configuring the SoundStructureDevices.)Plug-in Card InstallationEach SoundStructure device can have one plug-in card installed for a total of eight plug-in cards in acollection of eight SoundStructure devices. When installing more than one plug-in card in an installation, itis recommended to use the plug-in slot from the top device first and continue sequentially down through thecollection of devices as additional plug-cards are added.Do not insert a plug-in card while the SoundStructure is powered on. Failure toremove power prior to installing the plug-in card may damage the plug-in cardand/or the SoundStructure device.WarningPolycom, Inc.13
