Digital Audio Network
The access point receives wireless audio from the microphones and distributes it to the audio network interface.
Low latency, tight clock synchronization, and high Quality-of-Service (QoS) provide reliable audio transport.
Digital audio is carried over Ethernet cables and standard IP equipment.
Audio coexists safely on the same network as IT and control data, or can be configured to use a dedicated network.
Analog Audio
The audio network interface converts network audio for each channel into analog outputs.
Sends analog audio to a mixer, Digital Signal Processor (DSP), or teleconferencing device.
Forming Groups and Linking Microphones
Once all the MXW components are connected to the network, they can be associated into Groups from the Configuration tab of
the control software. Each Access Point can form an association Group with one or two chargers (for Linking microphones) and
one or two audio output devices (for routing audio to analog outputs). The microphones can then be placed in the charger and
Linked to these access point channels.
Each Group is managed by a single access point. Microphones are Linked to channels in the access point, not to the charger
that was used to Link them. This relationship persists until the microphones are re-Linked or the access point is reset.
Configurations: Managing Multiple Groups
Configurations allow multiple Groups to share the same preferences and global controls. When an additional Group is added to
