One of the more important functions of the XAP 800 is matrix routing of audio signals.
Like all device functions, all routing is executed in the digital domain. In addition, changes
in routing can be executed via the RS-232 port and/or via presets on the control/status
connectors.
The XAP 800 audio matrix has 32 possible input sources and 32 output destinations, with
level control at each cross point. The routing chart (Figure 16) describes the default XAP
800 routing. Inputs and outputs are labeled for this default routing diagram, but any input
and output scheme could be used. To ensure understanding, inputs and outputs to the
matrix are described below.
Inputs
Gated and Non-gated Inputs 1-8 - Inputs 1-8 (selectable for mic or line level) appear on
the rear terminal block. Both gated and non-gated inputs are provided on the matrix for
delivery to desired destinations. This is provided because, in some applications (such as
a courtroom), direct, non-gated outputs are required. Default routing for gated
microphone inputs are to the O-Bus. Non-gated outputs are routed by default to their
corresponding output number (i.e., input 1 is routed to output 1).
Inputs 9-12 - These are line-level inputs that appear on the rear panel terminal blocks. This
is typically audio that comes from a CD player, video codec, XAP TH1 telephone
interface, and other auxiliary audio sources. In typical applications, this audio must be
heard in the local PA system (as well as networked XAP 800 units). In the default routing,
audio is routed to every other device except itself.
Outputs
Outputs 1-8 - These are exactly the same as outputs 9-12. Their default routing is for each
non-gated input 1-8 to go directly to these outputs.
