Mount the Access Point Transceiver

The directional antennas of the APT send and receive the RF signal in a cardioid pattern with the greatest sensitivity
toward the face of the device. Always aim this side toward the microphone coverage area.

Select a Location

The access point is typically mounted to a ceiling or wall
near the microphone coverage area. For best results,
perform a Spectrum Scan at potential locations to find the
optimal placement (see Wireless Management section for
more details).
Use the following best-practices when selecting a location
for the device:
• Direct the face of the access point toward the intended
coverage area.
• Position the access point so there is nothing obstructing a
line of sight to the microphones.
• Keep device away from large metal objects.
• Keep at least eight feet between access points.
• Mount with its reset button accessible, as it may be useful
for troubleshooting.

Important: Always perform a "walk around" test to
verify coverage before using a wireless system during
a speech or performance. Experiment with antenna
placement to find the optimum location. If necessary,
mark "trouble spots" and ask presenters or performers
to avoid those areas.
