Setup, Compatibility & Care
The C12 is designed for permanent rack-mounting. Initial setup involves connecting XLR or Phoenix-style inputs from microphones to the C12 channels and routing outputs to the room's amplification system. Configuration is typically handled via the Poly SoundStructure interface software, which allows for granular adjustment of gain, EQ, and echo cancellation parameters.
For ongoing care, ensure the server rack has adequate airflow, as the processor generates heat during constant operation. Periodically check for firmware updates via the Poly support portal to maintain compatibility with updated conferencing platforms. Keep the unit free of dust by utilizing standard server room environmental controls.
