About the Microphone Pod
The following Microphone Pods are available for the XT Endpoint:
Three-way Microphone Pod
Typically used for larger meeting rooms, the three-way Microphone Pod includes digital audio input
from all sides for more enhanced coverage (360º range).
One-way Microphone Pod
Typically used for smaller meeting rooms, the one-way analog Microphone Pod includes analog
audio input from one side (180º range).
Important:
The type of Microphone Pod available depends on your XT Endpoint model. A second Microphone
Pod is available for selected models only. For details, see Technical Specifications on page 8. You
cannot use more than two Microphone Pods for one system.
The Microphone Pod performance varies with room characteristics, background noise levels, and
loudness and position of speakers.
When used in typical settings, the Microphone Pod can cover a radius of 3 meters (about 10 feet). See
Figure 12: Microphone range of audio input on page 35.
In the current version release, the XT Codec Unit does not encode/decode stereo signals.
For optimal results, place the Microphone Pod as described in Planning the Optimal Conference Room
Setup on page 25.
