>> keep your mic off when you're not using it.
>> Please remember that these mics are wired to the table and into the system.
>> The only way to move them is to adjust them the way you would a

>> Do not, repeat do not, try to move them in other ways, lift them off
>> the table, etc. Also, the chairs are comfy and adjustable, but please
