PAR
Acoustic Kit Installation Guide
The
PAR
Acoustic Kit that is used for communication posts is suitable for new or retrofit installations and can readily be
used with various housing designs. One kit contains enough material to accommodate a typical microphone and
speaker system. It can be used for a microphone and speaker installed either in a single housing or in separate
housings.
When installed according to the guidelines below, these components act together as a system to help enhance
speech intelligibility.

Installation Guidelines - Separate Housings
Component installation is the same for both the microphone and the
Ensure that the inside or the housing is clean and dry.
Install the
PAR
Vibration Control Tape to the inside of the top and side walls of the
housing (fig. 1).
Using a pair of scissors, cut one piece of tape approximately 1" less than the
length of the top wall. Cut two pieces so they are each approximately 1" less
than the side walls.
Peel and discard the release liner from the back of the tape.
Center each piece of tape on the inside of the top and side walls of the housing,
as shown in the illustration.
Install the TUFCOTE® TBK Faced Foam to the inside of the housing and over the
vibration control tape (fig. 2).
Check the fit of the foam to the inside of the housing. The foam can either be
formed into an upside-down “u” shape to fit against the inside of the top and
side walls as one piece, or cut into individual pieces to fit the inside of each wall.
Peel and discard the release liner from the back of the faced foam.
Align the center of the foam with the centerline of the top wall and then work
toward the edges until the foam is centered on the inside of the top and side
walls of the cavity.
When positioned correctly, press the foam firmly to secure it in place.
Install the Thinsulate™ Acoustic Insulation (fig. 3).
Loosely line the housing with the acoustic insulation. For the best appearance,
position the black side of the insulation toward the outside of the housing.
If there is excess insulation, overlap it against the inside of the first layer.
