undesired low frequencies, sometimes caused by table vibrations or air-
conditioning rumble.

⑫ Transmitter State
Displays the operating status of the MXW transmitter:
• Active: On and passing audio to the network.
• Mute: On but the audio is muted.
• Standby: On but in a 'sleep' state with audio muted. Standby
conserves battery charge and enables a change to the transmitter's
status from the control software.
• Inactive: Off or out-of-range. A transmitter in this state cannot be
remotely controlled by the software.
• Charging: Battery is charging.
• External: On and passing audio to an external controller that controls
the mute/active behavior.

Displays the transmitter type and provides a Power Off selection from
the drop-down window.
⑮ Bodypack Audio Input Source
There are two input sources available on the MXW1 bodypack: the
internal, omnidirectional microphone or the external TQG input for
lavalier or headset microphones. Select the input source preference:
• Auto: The internal mic is used until the MXW1 detects a connection
at the TQG input. The transmitter automatically selects the external
source whenever available.
• Internal: Audio source is always from the internal microphone.
• External: Audio source is always from a connected microphone.
(Internal mic is off.)

Monitor the signal level and mute/unmute the audio of the return
channel.
