Connecting the One-Way Microphone Pod and other Analog

Microphones

About this task

You can connect the one-way Microphone Pod. For details about the Microphone Pod, see

About the

Microphone Pod on page 34.

When the Microphone Pod is not sufficient for covering the room, you can use an external analog/optical

microphone. This is typically only done for large-room configurations.

When connecting either the one-way Microphone Pod or another analog/optical microphone, you cannot

share audio content from your PC with remote participants, since the port used to connect your PC's

audio output is also used to connect an external microphone. To hear both the audio from your computer

and the Microphone Pod, either connect the three-way Microphone Pod and your computer output, or

use an external mixer device.

Important:

The XT Codec Unit’s analog audio input supports either a balanced or unbalanced line microphone. A

balanced line microphone reduces audio disruptions from other devices such as cellular phones.

For more information about typical audio configurations for the XT Endpoint, see Deciding on the Audio

Setup for the Scopia XT Endpoint for IP Office on page 33. To connect the three-way Microphone Pod,

see Connecting the Three-Way Microphone Pod on page 35.

Before you begin

•

For optimal results, place the Microphone Pod as described in Planning the Optimal Conference

Room Setup on page 25.

•

For very large conference rooms using multiple microphones, or to share both audio output from

the computer and audio from the microphone during a call, you need to acquire audio mixers from

third-parties. An audio mixer can connect multiple microphones, mix them, cancel the echo and

generate a single audio stream that feeds into the audio inputs of your XT Codec Unit.

You can use, for example, Clear One audio mixers, which have been tested with the XT Endpoint:

Make sure the microphone mixer provides these connectors: an analog audio I/O (mini jack 3.5”)

connector and a digital optical connector with a mini-TOSlink adapter.

Procedure

1. Connect the one-way Microphone Pod to the analog audio input (Figure 15: Connecting the

one-way Microphone Pod on page 38).
