Connecting the One-Way Microphone Pod and other Analog
Microphones
About this task
You can connect the one-way Microphone Pod. For details about the Microphone Pod, see
About the
Microphone Pod on page 34.
When the Microphone Pod is not sufficient for covering the room, you can use an external analog/optical
microphone. This is typically only done for large-room configurations.
When connecting either the one-way Microphone Pod or another analog/optical microphone, you cannot
share audio content from your PC with remote participants, since the port used to connect your PC's
audio output is also used to connect an external microphone. To hear both the audio from your computer
and the Microphone Pod, either connect the three-way Microphone Pod and your computer output, or
use an external mixer device.
Important:
The XT Codec Unit’s analog audio input supports either a balanced or unbalanced line microphone. A
balanced line microphone reduces audio disruptions from other devices such as cellular phones.
For more information about typical audio configurations for the XT Endpoint, see Deciding on the Audio
Setup for the Scopia XT Endpoint for IP Office on page 33. To connect the three-way Microphone Pod,
see Connecting the Three-Way Microphone Pod on page 35.
Before you begin
•
For optimal results, place the Microphone Pod as described in Planning the Optimal Conference
Room Setup on page 25.
•
For very large conference rooms using multiple microphones, or to share both audio output from
the computer and audio from the microphone during a call, you need to acquire audio mixers from
third-parties. An audio mixer can connect multiple microphones, mix them, cancel the echo and
generate a single audio stream that feeds into the audio inputs of your XT Codec Unit.
You can use, for example, Clear One audio mixers, which have been tested with the XT Endpoint:

Make sure the microphone mixer provides these connectors: an analog audio I/O (mini jack 3.5”)
connector and a digital optical connector with a mini-TOSlink adapter.
Procedure
1. Connect the one-way Microphone Pod to the analog audio input (Figure 15: Connecting the
one-way Microphone Pod on page 38).
