Vaddio’s TRIO Microphone solution allows echo cancellation to be
added to any professional audio mixer for conferencing
applications. No complex DSP programming required.
Vaddio TRIO Table and Ceiling Microphone Arrays incorporate SmartMic technology along with built-in DSPs for
the ultimate in simple control and maximum performance. The technology integrates automatic microphone
mixing, wideband echo cancelation, noise reduction, and automated gain control into the microphones and
eliminates the need for super expensive, hard to program and operate conferencing mixers.
Pair the TRIO microphones with the TRIO MIC I/O interface device to provide four balanced line level output
channels that easily connect to a room’s audio mixer. A single Echo Cancelling Reference input to the TRIO
MICI/O completes the interface with the audio mixer.
The TRIO microphone system solution is comprised of the following devices:
TRIO Mic I/O Interface (above):
The TRIO Mic I/O provides an audio breakout interface for use with Vaddio’s TRIO Microphones. Seamlessly
interface up to four (4) TRIO Mics to a professional audio mixer. The TRIO MIC I/O segments each
microphone device into a line level balanced output for connection to audio input of a professional audio
mixer. A single AEC Reference input is connected to the TRIO Mic I/O from the room mixer to complete the
installation for echo cancelling microphones.
TRIO Table Microphone Array:
The TRIO Table Microphone Array is an attractive echo cancelling table microphone
with 360ºaudio coverage pattern and reach of approximately 12’ (3.66m) in radius.
Three cardioid microphones and built-in DSP comprise the device. The TRIO Table
Microphone connects to the TRIO Mic I/O with single home run of Cat-5 cable
providing audio and power.
TRIO Ceiling Microphone Array: The echo cancelling ceiling microphone with 360º
audio pick-up pattern formed by a 3-microphone element array. It includes a plenum

Ceiling Microphones are offered in both black and white versions.
Intended Use:
Before operating the device, please read the entire manual thoroughly. The system was designed, built and
tested for use indoors, and with the provided power supply and cabling. The use of a power supply other than the
one provided or outdoor operation has not been tested and could damage the device and/or create a potentially
unsafe operating condition.
Important Safeguards:
Read and understand all instructions before using. Do not operate any device if it has been dropped or damaged.
In this case, a Vaddio technician must examine the product before operating. To reduce the risk of electric shock,
do not immerse in water or other liquids and avoid extremely humid conditions. Do not connect Ethernet or
Power over Ethernet (POE) cables directly to the RJ-45 ports on the device as damage may be the result.

Please do not use “pass-thru” type RJ-45 connectors. These pass-thru type connectors do not work
well for professional installations and can be the cause of intermittent connections which can result in
the RS-232 control line failing and locking up. For best results please use standard RJ-45 connectors
and test all cables for proper pin-outs prior to use.
