Logitech Rally Mic Pod 2 989-001214 – Expansion Microphone for Rally Board 65 (Graphite)

What is the Logitech Rally Mic Pod 2?

The Logitech Rally Mic Pod 2 (989-001214, graphite) is a tabletop or ceiling expansion microphone for the second-generation Rally family. It extends voice pickup deeper into a meeting room so people at the far end of the table are heard as clearly as those sitting near the display. Each pod covers a 7.2 m (24 ft) diameter and includes a mute button with status LEDs, so it also serves as a mute control point at the table.

How does the Logitech Rally Mic Pod 2 work?

Rally Mic Pod 2 uses seven omnidirectional microphones that form six acoustic beams. Logitech RightSound 2 processing on the host applies AI noise suppression, AI echo suppression, AI voice equalization, voice activity detection, direction of arrival and acoustic echo cancellation, so the far end hears voices rather than keyboards and HVAC noise.

The pod connects to the host over shielded Cat cable through RJ45 Link In and Link Out jacks. Logitech supports Cat5e SF/UTP up to 40 m (131.2 ft) or Cat6 SF/UTP up to 70 m (229.6 ft) between the host and the first pod, with up to 10 m (32.8 ft) between daisy-chained pods. Logitech lists Rally Board 65 (up to two pods, CollabOS 2.1 or later) and Rally Bar 2 (up to four pods, CollabOS 2.2 or later) as compatible hosts. Firmware updates are delivered by the host during its normal CollabOS update cycle.

Rally Mic Pod 2 is not compatible with first-generation Rally Plus, Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini. Rooms built on a Logitech Rally Bar or Rally Plus use the original Rally Mic Pod (Graphite) or Rally Mic Pod (White) instead.

What are the key features of the Logitech Rally Mic Pod 2?

• Seven-microphone array — seven omnidirectional mics form six acoustic beams for even voice pickup around the table.
• 24 ft pickup diameter — each pod covers a 7.2 m (24 ft) diameter, and Logitech recommends placing the first pod about 4.5 m (15 ft) from the video bar.
• RightSound 2 audio processing — AI noise suppression, echo suppression and voice equalization keep speech clear for remote participants.
• Long shielded Cat cable runs — up to 70 m (229.6 ft) on Cat6 SF/UTP between the host and the first pod simplifies large-room and under-floor cable paths.
• Daisy-chain wiring — Link In and Link Out RJ45 jacks let a second pod connect to the first with up to 10 m (32.8 ft) of cable.
• Mute control at the table — a touch mute button with white and red LEDs shows call and mute status, and muting any pod mutes the whole room.
• Managed in Logitech Sync — the pod is updated and monitored through the host in Logitech Sync and supported service-provider portals.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which Logitech systems work with Rally Mic Pod 2?

Logitech lists Rally Board 65 (up to two pods) and Rally Bar 2 (up to four pods) as compatible hosts. It does not work with the original Rally Plus, Rally Bar or Rally Bar Mini, which use the first-generation Rally Mic Pod.

What cable does Rally Mic Pod 2 need?

Use shielded Cat5e SF/UTP (up to 40 m) or Cat6 SF/UTP (up to 70 m) between the host and the first pod. Logitech specifies shielded SF/UTP cable for every run.

How far apart should multiple pods be placed?

Logitech recommends about 3 m (10 ft) between pods, with a maximum of 3.6 m (12 ft) and a minimum of 2.3 m (8 ft). Closer spacing helps in acoustically difficult rooms.

Can Rally Mic Pod 2 be ceiling mounted?

Yes. Logitech offers mounts for drop-tile ceilings and a grommet mount that works on a table or ceiling. For ceiling installs, keep the straight-line distance from the talker to the pod within 3.6 m (12 ft).

Does muting one pod mute the whole room?

Yes. When any mic pod is muted, all microphones in the room, including the host's built-in microphones, are muted and the pod LEDs turn red.

Rally Mic Pod 2 carries a 2-year limited hardware warranty. Request a quote from Creation Networks for mic pods, cabling and installation, and browse the full Logitech collection for related room systems.
