Page 13: Completing The Linking Process
Audio sources such as dynamic microphones, condenser microphones, instruments (Hi-Z signal) and line level signals are connected to XTX devices. To prevent signal peaks we recommend activating the mute function on the XIRIUM X devices before connecting the peripheral devices. (Switch the devices to mute.) -

– “extended” as the repeater can be placed in an optimised position. The diversity technology can, however, also be implemented on the transmitter end. On the XIRIUM X system the additional use of a repeater ensures such a diversity setup and is aimed at keeping the radio transmission stable. -
Page 26: Antenna Selection
AntennaGuide Antenna selection „ In rooms with a wide range of reflection options we recommend using the supplied NXA-3-360 rod antennas (omnidirectional antennas). If you have placed the XRX at a place where signals are cancelled, it is often sufficient to move the device a few centimetres to reach a reliable zone. -
Page 27: Alignment
AntennaGuide Alignment „ For reliable transmission in the 5-GHz range we recommend a parallel antenna configuration with a line of sight (LOS). The omnidirectional antenna NXA-10-360-10 is only omnidirectional in a horizontal direction. In a vertical direction it has a concentrated 10° beam. Position the omnidirectional antenna at the same height as the receiving antenna. -
