CHAPTER 1: Introduction

Congratulations on purchasing the XAP 800, a highly advanced twelve-by-twelve

digital matrix mixer with Gentner®Distributed Echo Cancellation®,noise

cancellation, and audio processing. It uses an internal macro language and 32 user-

definable presets to quickly adapt to a variety of teleconferencing and sound

reinforcement applications such as distance learning, teletraining, telemedicine,

courtrooms, conference rooms, boardrooms, hotels, and houses of worship.

In its most simple form, the XAP 800 is a mic mixing matrix. As such, all mic

mixing parameters can be customized and any input or combination of inputs can

be routed to any output or combination of outputs, with attenuation adjustments at

each cross point.This allows great flexibility in accommodating a variety of

applications and requirements.

The XAP 800 features numerous functions which greatly enhance its

performance and flexibility. For example, it can gate mics on and off when the

sound within a mic’s acceptance pattern reaches a certain level.

The XAP 800 monitors each mic independently, observing ambient levels and

making decisions based on each mic’s environment. Thus, the input for a mic

located in a highly reverberant part of a conference room is gated, mixed, and

processed to compensate for the changes in that area and reduce echo and noise.

This improves audio quality and decreases the possibility of feedback.

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 want, while automatic gain control keeps the

overall sound level consistent. Eight of the 12 channels can be configured as an

automatic microphone mixer.

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.

CHAPTER 1: Introduction

Product overview

Introduction ~ New Features

Technical Services Group ~ 1-800-283-5936 (USA) ~ 1-801-974-3760

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 and XAP 400s

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.

New Features

•Virtual references. The XAP 800 now supports echo cancellation summing.

Four user-definable virtual references are provided which can use multiple

signals as the echo cancellation reference point without sacrificing an analog

output.This added flexibility further enhances echo cancellation performance.

•Improved noise cancellation. Our industry-leading noise cancellation keeps

background noise to a minimum while retaining top-level voice quality, echo

cancellation performance, and full-duplex capability.

•Front panel gain and mute control. Now gain and mute adjustments can

be made from the front panel. Using these controls allows you to make quick

volume and mute changes without connecting through G-Ware.

•Safety Mute. The new Safety Mute button on the main G-Ware toolbar

allows you to mute all outputs with one simple click if feedback or audio

problems occur during the configuration process.

•Preset and Macro Passwords. You can now password protect your presets

and macros to prevent unauthorized changes.

•Clear Matrix. This new button on the Matrix Screen makes it easy to clear all

cross point cells in the matrix. Simply click the button and confirm the action.

•RAMP serial command. The new RAMP serial command (see page 123)

gives you greater control over gain adjustments. You can specify the rate at

which the gain increases and decreases as well as the target level.
