INTRODUCTION • PRODUCT OVERVIEW
2
The XAP 800 facilitates local and remote PC setup and diagnostics,
logic outputs, and automatic gated mic operation. Mic inputs can be
individually customized to gate on and off as you wish, while automatic
gain control keeps the overall sound level consistent. Eight of the 12
channels can be configured as an automatic microphone mixer.
All microphone mixing parameters can be customized and any
combination of inputs can be routed to any combination of outputs,
with attenuation adjustments at each cross point. This allows flexibility
in accommodating different applications and customer requirements.
Adjustments in routing, level, and other functions can be made through
presets activated through a closure on the rear panel, an RS-232 serial
interface, or a control panel on the Expansion Bus data channel.
The XAP 800 features eight audio processing blocks, each with 15
filters. Each filter can be configured as a parametric equalizer, high
pass, low pass, CD horn, high shelving, low shelving, all pass, or
crossover. This allows you to tailor the XAP 800’s audio response to
optimize the audio quality and fidelity characteristics of a wide variety of
sound reinforcement systems.
The GPIO (general purpose input/output) allows switching among any
of 32 user-stored presets. This gives you real-time flexibility to meet a
variety of reinforcement requirements.
Network-based interconnectivity allows up to eight XAP 800s to be
connected and controlled as a single unit, allowing microphone
coverage in applications requiring up to 64 mics.
The XAP 800’s Macro Pro™ scripting language allows the unit to
function without the need for an external controller. However, it can be
easily interfaced to an external controller via either of the two RS-485
ports. The unit can also interface with a PC through the RS-232 port.
