Note: The auto route process clears any manual routes you may have made in your design.
After auto routing a room, check and adjust settings to fit your needs. You may need to:
Delete unnecessary routes.
Check levels and adjust gain.
Check that AEC reference signals are correctly routed and received in a test call.
Fine-tune DSP blocks.
Adjust your processor's matrix mixer routes.
If you want to auto route an online room, turn on online room editing in File > Designer preferences.
Note: Changes to an online room may cause audio to briefly drop out.
Refer to Designer's Troubleshooting section for help with routing.
Microphone Configuration
The microphone features multiple configurations to adapt to any meeting space. Adjust coverage based on:
Table size and shape
Number of meeting participants
Participant seating arrangement
When you open the MXA310 in Designer, there is 1 channel with toroid coverage. To add more channels, select Add channel
from the Coverage view.
Change the Polar Pattern
To change a channel's polar pattern, go to:
Designer: [Your room] > MXA310 > Coverage > Select channel > Properties > Polar pattern
Web application: Configuration > Coverage > Select channel > Polar pattern
Aim Microphone Channels
You can aim all microphone channels at individual talkers to provide the clearest possible signal. Omnidirectional and toroid
polar patterns cover the entire space around the MXA310 and can't be aimed.
To adjust a channel's position:
Designer: [Your room] > MXA310 > Coverage > Select channel. Click and drag the channel into position or use the
Properties menu.
Web application: Configuration > Coverage > Select channel. Click and drag the channel into position or use the
Properties menu.
Templates (Web Application)
Use a template as a starting point when configuring coverage. Templates only adjust coverage, and do not affect gain levels or
other settings.
Select the template that is the closest match to the seating scenario.
Select OK.
Select Add Channel or Remove Channel to adjust coverage.
