Configuring Microphone Devices
Microphone Devices are the microphones in a room that the Automate VX system uses to receive
audio from active speaking participants. Microphone Devices are indicated in Room Designer as
square shaped nodes. For more information about adding Microphone Devices to a room layout,
refer to
There are three different types of microphones, and the way that they are handled in Room
Designer is particular to the microphone used.
l
Intelligent microphones: These are microphones installed in the ceiling. The Shure MXA310
Table Top microphone is also an intelligent microphone. Microphone Devices should be
placed in the exact location where they exist physically in the room layout. Intelligent
microphones have a radius that can collect audio data, and in conjunction with
AutoSwitching, can broadcast audio from any position within the radius.
l
DSP's and discussion systems: Microphones positioned at each active speaking participant
location. These are often push-to-talk microphone systems, goose neck microphones, or
any microphone system that is using a DSP. For the Microphone Device in the room layout,
the location of the Microphone Device is not important and can be placed anywhere. The
microphones used to track audio need to have Virtual Mics in positions where microphones
are located. For more information on configuring Virtual Mics, refer to
Mics and Blocking Zones on page 56
Once the Microphone Devices are situated in their appropriate locations within the room layout,
click on a Microphone Device to open the Microphone Device Settings. This panel will appear on
the right side of the screen.
