Vaddio TRIO MIC I/O Interface User Manual
Overview
The Vaddio™ TRIO Mic I/O interface enables the TRIO Acoustic Echo Canceling Microphones to be used with any
professional DSP audio mixer. Connect the TRIO Ceiling or Table Mics to the TRIO Mic I/O interface and instantly make any mixer capable of Acoustic Echo Cancellation for use in conferencing applications. Like many Vaddio products, a simple Cat-5/5e/6 UT P cable connection and no clumsy software configuration makes the TRIO
microphones as simple to install as traditional boundary or ceiling microphones. The TRIO Mic I/O connects up to four TRIO Microphones over Cat-5 cables. The Cat-5 cable carries power to the microphone and returns the processed audio from the TRIO mics. The TRIO Mic I/O has four (4) individual line level balanced outputs, each representing the echo canceled audio channel from the individual TRIO mics. An Acoustical Echo Cancellation (AEC) Reference input channel is included on the rear panel for connection to the far-end audio signal coming into t he conference room. The AEC Reference channel is needed for the TRIO mic to keep the far-end audio from going into the room mics and echoing back to the far-end.

Connecting a single echo canceling reference channel from the room mixer to the TRIO Mic I/O completes the interface with any audio mixer.
