Connecting A Microphone To The Xt Series - Avaya XT Series Deployment Manual

Connecting a Microphone to the XT Series

About this task
Select the microphones best suited to your deployment (see
Series on page 73), and ensure all participants are seated within the range of one of the
microphones. To determine the best microphone positioning, see
Setup on page 52.
More complex setups, like setting up an auditorium or mixing different types of microphones, may
require an audio mixer (for example Clear One mixers). An audio mixer connects multiple
microphones (or other audio inputs) to generate a single audio stream. Using an audio mixer
requires you disable echo-cancellation on the XT Series (see
page 131) and then enable it either on the audio mixer, or (ideally) on each microphone. The audio
mixer must have either an analog audio I/O (mini jack 3.5") connector or a digital optical (mini-
TOSlink) connector.
The Avaya XTE240 uses the microphone embedded in the camera by default. If you connect an
additional microphone, the embedded microphone is disabled.
Procedure
1. Connect a microphone to the XT Codec Unit as follows:
• The dedicated microphone
Avaya XT5000 Series and the Avaya XT7000 Series can support two of these
microphones daisy-chained. When capturing stereo audio, only the first Microphone Pod
is used.
• The USB port is used for USB headsets (lower USB only), or for a USB camera with a
built-in microphone (upper USB only).
• The audio input port
- The analog One-way Microphone Pod or any other analog microphone with a 3.5mm
jack.
- A third-party digital microphone with a mini-TOSlink connector.
- Audio mixers like those from Clear One. An audio mixer connects multiple
microphones (or other audio inputs) to generate a single audio stream.
- A computer audio-out connection or line audio connection.
