Question:  

What are the replacement part numbers for the exterior grille, cosmetic plugs, and high-wear hardware on the CBL series microphones if they get damaged or lost?

Answer:

Conference room table microphones are highly susceptible to cosmetic wear, liquid spills, or physical damage from being bumped.  Additionally, during room handovers or hardware de-installation, small mounting pieces frequently go missing.

When a field technician or customer contacts support regarding structural damage or lost mounting hardware, use this guide to identify the correct color-matched or universal replacement parts.

1. Cosmetic & Exterior Damage (Color-Specific Parts)

If the top mesh grille is dented or scratched, or if the bottom screw plug is missing, you must verify the color finish of the unit (Black vs. Silver/Gray) before ordering.

Top Metal Grille Assembly (MECHASY, TOP)

• Black (B Models): P/N 5099076-00
• Silver/Gray (S Models): P/N 5107212-00

Bottom Hardware Hole Plug (HDW, PLUG)

• Black (B Models): P/N 5107787-00
• Silver/Gray (S Models): P/N 5107790-00

2. Table Mounting & Installation Loss (Universal Parts)

If a room is being remodeled or a microphone is relocated and the installer loses the under-desk mounting hardware, these parts are completely universal across all four models.

• M22 Threaded Mounting Stud (FSTNR, STUD): P/N 5099080-00
   
• M22 Mounting Wing Nut (FSTNR, NUT): P/N 5099085-00
   
• Rubber Table Bumpers / Feet (4-Pack) (HDW, BUMP): P/N 5099087-00
   
• Cable Strain Relief Boot (HDW, STRLF): P/N 5107652-00

3. Internal Spill or Impact Damage (Capsule Parts)

If a user spills a drink directly into the microphone grille and causes audio degradation (static, dropouts, or total failure), the internal audio elements can be replaced.

• Microphone Capsule Element (AUD, MIC): P/N 5099369-00

Note: The capsule is completely universal across all versions. Order Qty 2 for CBL201 or Qty 3 for CBL301.

• Internal Rubber Windscreen (MICSYS, WS): P/N 5099084-00
