Connecting a Microphone to the XT Series

About this task
Select the microphones best suited to your deployment (see
Series on page 52), and ensure all participants are seated within the range of one of the
microphones. To determine the best microphone positioning, see
Setup on page 35.
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 116) 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.
