Cisco Ceiling Microphone Pro Spare, Carbon Black - CS-MIC-CLGPRO-C=

Product Overview

The Cisco Ceiling Microphone Pro Spare, Carbon Black (CS-MIC-CLGPRO-C=) is the factory spare part number for the Ceiling Microphone Pro in the dark finish, ordered to hold replacement stock rather than to build a new room. It is intended for organisations keeping spare inventory for rapid swap-out, and for integrators maintaining existing installations under a service agreement. Hardware is identical to the standard CS-MIC-CLGPRO-C, in the Carbon Black finish used with dark tile and exposed structure.

Product Description

A spare part number exists for one reason: to shorten the outage when a ceiling microphone fails in a room that has to work tomorrow. The = suffix is a procurement designation, not a different product, and it is typically held alongside a Cisco SMARTnet contract so that the replacement unit is already on the shelf when the ticket is raised. Estates running both finishes stock a spare of each, because a white panel dropped into a dark ceiling is visible from every seat in the room and rarely survives a client walkthrough.

The swap itself is short because the mount stays in the ceiling. The failed unit comes off the existing 100 x 100 VESA pattern, the replacement goes on, and the single RJ45 run reconnects to the same port. The microphone draws PoE Class 2 power at 3.5 W average and 4.5 W maximum, so the switch port already provisioned for the original unit needs no change. Confirm the host device — a Room Kit EQ or comparable Cisco room system — is running Cisco RoomOS 11.24 or later before the swap, since the host discovers and configures the microphone rather than the microphone being commissioned on its own.

Order this part number when the intent is replacement stock. When the intent is a new room, order the standard CS-MIC-CLGPRO-C and the mounting kit that matches the ceiling — a suspended tile grid takes the drop ceiling grid kit (CS-MIC-CLGP-DMK) — because no mount is included with either part number. The wider Cisco collection covers the room systems these microphones run on.

Key Features

• Factory Spare Part Number — The = suffix designates replacement inventory procurement rather than a new-room order.
• Identical Hardware — Capability matches the standard CS-MIC-CLGPRO-C with no functional difference.
• 64-Element Array, 8 Adaptive Beams — Eight auto-adaptive beams capture multiple active speakers at once.
• 360-Degree Coverage to a 3.5 m Radius — Pickup extends to a 3.5 m / 11.5 ft radius under optimal acoustic conditions.
• Reuses the Existing Mount — The replacement fits the 100 x 100 VESA pattern already installed in the ceiling, so the mount does not need to be re-ordered.
• PoE Class 2 Power — The unit draws 3.5 W average and 4.5 W maximum, matching the switch port already provisioned for the original.
• Carbon Black Finish — Matches installations built around dark tile, painted deck or exposed structure.

Typical Applications

• Spare inventory held for rapid replacement in production meeting rooms
• Integrator service stock supporting installations under a maintenance agreement
• Cisco SMARTnet-backed estates keeping a unit on the shelf per finish
• Rooms built with dark acoustic tile, painted deck or exposed structure
• Government and higher education sites with uptime commitments on shared rooms

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between CS-MIC-CLGPRO-C= and CS-MIC-CLGPRO-C?

The = suffix designates a factory spare part number. Hardware is identical. Spare part numbers are used for replacement inventory procurement and are typically held alongside a Cisco SMARTnet contract.

Does a spare need a mounting kit?

Not if it is replacing a unit in an existing mount. The mount stays in the ceiling and the microphone is swapped onto the existing 100 x 100 VESA pattern. A new room needs a mounting kit ordered separately.

Can this spare replace an Arctic White unit?

It will work, since the finish is cosmetic only, but a black panel is visible against a white ceiling. Estates running both finishes generally hold one spare of each rather than treating them as interchangeable. The Arctic White spare is the matching part number.

Is SmartNet available?

Yes. Cisco SMARTnet spare management is available through Creation Networks.
