General Description The MXW APXD2 is an all-in-one wireless microphone system that combines a 2-channel wireless transceiver, digital audio processingandtwochargingbaysintoaconvenienttabletopdevice.OnboardDante,analog,USBandBluetoothaudiocon nections enable local sound reinforcement and video conferencing applications in either standalone or networked installations. The front panel includes at-a-glance indicators and touch-sensitive buttons to facilitate quick out-of-the-box setup and intuitive system use, without the need for additional screen-based user interfaces. In networked installations, a computer can remotely control and monitor connected units via the built-in network interface. Features Standalone and networked installations Front panel user interface for simple setup and intuitive use Audio I/O: analog, Dante, USB, Bluetooth Built-in audio DSP: Automixer, Echo Cancellation, Noise Reduction Dual RJ45 to separate audio and control traffic (3 modes) Two built-in charging bays for wireless microphones Microphone Transmitters MXW+ microphones transmit an encrypted, wireless audio signal to the access point. Three form factors are available:
