Cisco Drop Ceiling Grid Mounting Kit for Ceiling Microphone Pro - CS-MIC-CLGP-DMK

Product Overview

The Cisco Drop Ceiling Grid Mounting Kit (CS-MIC-CLGP-DMK) is the mounting accessory for installing the Cisco Ceiling Microphone Pro in a standard commercial drop ceiling grid. It replaces the ceiling tile at a 2x2 or 2x4 grid position so the microphone sits flush in the grid rather than below it. It is the mount to specify for the suspended tile ceilings found in most commercial office, government and enterprise conference rooms. The kit is sold separately from the microphone.

Product Description

Most corporate meeting rooms are built with a suspended tile grid, and that ceiling gives an installer a clean option the other mounts cannot: take a tile out and put the microphone in its place. The result is a flush panel in the grid line with no visible hardware hanging below it, which is what a client expects to see when they walk into a finished boardroom. Without this kit there is no clean way to set the Ceiling Microphone Pro into a drop ceiling, so it belongs on the bill of materials at design stage rather than being sorted out on site.

For estimating, the practical decisions are which grid position each microphone lands on and whether the microphone's network run reaches it. Pick the grid position against the seating plan first, then check the plenum above it for ductwork, sprinkler lines and lighting that would obstruct the kit or the cable. Confirm whether the room is on a 2x2 or a 2x4 module before ordering, and coordinate the cable drop with the ceiling trade so the run is in place before the grid is closed up. Where the run crosses a plenum ceiling, specify plenum-rated (CMP) cable.

Cisco offers three interchangeable mounting kits and the choice is made by ceiling type rather than by room size. This drop ceiling grid kit covers a suspended tile grid; the ceiling bracket (CS-MIC-CLGP-CBK) covers a solid ceiling where the panel sits flush to the surface; the wire hanging kit (CS-MIC-CLGP-WHK) covers open or exposed structure and high ceilings. No mount ships with the microphone, so one kit is ordered per microphone. The microphones and the room systems that host them are in the Cisco collection.

Key Features

• Drop Ceiling Grid Compatible — The kit is designed for standard commercial 2x2 and 2x4 drop ceiling grid systems.
• Replaces the Ceiling Tile — The kit takes the place of the tile at the chosen grid position rather than fixing through it.
• Flush-Mount Integration — The microphone sits in the grid line with no visible mounting hardware below the ceiling.
• Required for a Drop Ceiling Install — Without this kit the Ceiling Microphone Pro cannot be cleanly installed in a drop ceiling grid.
• Ordered Separately — The microphone ships without a mount, so one kit is quoted per unit.
• Consistent Ceiling Appearance — The finished result matches the ceiling standards expected in commercial office and government rooms.

Typical Applications

• Conference rooms and boardrooms built with standard drop ceiling grid systems
• Government and enterprise rooms deploying the Cisco Ceiling Microphone Pro
• Corporate office fit-outs where the microphone must sit flush in the grid line
• Multi-room rollouts standardised on a single ceiling detail
• Any CS-MIC-CLGPRO deployment in a commercial suspended tile ceiling

Frequently Asked Questions

Is this kit required for all Ceiling Microphone Pro installations?

Only for drop ceiling grid installations. A solid ceiling uses the ceiling bracket (CS-MIC-CLGP-CBK) and an open or high ceiling uses the wire hanging kit (CS-MIC-CLGP-WHK). Check Cisco's installation documentation for the appropriate mounting method.

Does this kit include the Ceiling Microphone Pro?

No. The CS-MIC-CLGPRO is sold separately. This kit is the mounting accessory only.

How many kits does a room need?

One kit per microphone. A room covered by two or more microphones needs a kit for each grid position.

Does it work with a 2x4 grid as well as 2x2?

Yes. The kit is intended for standard commercial drop ceiling grid systems on either module. Confirm which module the room uses before ordering.
