About Manufacturer address 20 User Manual – XIRIUM PRO® | BDA 470 2015/12 Description of product 4.4 Getting started The XIRIUM PRO system makes it possible to replace conventional cable connections between audio sources and audio sinks (referred to in short as "peripheral devices" below) with a robust radio connection. With just 2 devices, the transmitter (TX) and the receiver (RX), an audio signal can be transmitted quickly and cost-efficiently. The XIRIUM PRO system transfers audio signals (LINE level) as well as digital audio signals (AES or DANTE) in studio quality with an extremely low latency time. 8 channels in the 5 GHz band are available for transmitting the audio signal. Up to two audio signals can be transmitted in one RF channel with no loss to audio quality. The distance between transmitter and receiver can be more than 3200 feet. The actual distance between transmitter and receiver depends on the specific environmental conditions (line of sight, obstacles in the link, reflections, external RF signals, etc.). Depending on the distance between transmitter and receiver, the transmission power may be manually controlled using the associated app in order to ensure the RSSI level remains in the "green range". In order to be able to establish a connection between TX and RX, the devices must be separated by a distance of at least 10 feet (using 6 dBi antenna and transmission power set to -3 dB). UNII-1 band UNII-3 band Channel Medium frequency Ch 40 5200 MHz Ch 44 5220 MHz Ch 48 5240 MHz Ch 149 5745 MHz Ch 153 5765 MHz Ch 157 5785 MHz Ch 161 5805 MHz Ch 165 5825 MHz The XIRIUM PRO system has been designed with features to simplify use. Understanding these features will be helpful before the system is put into operation. 4.4.1 App The app is the central control interface of the XIRIUM PRO system. Using the app, transmission paths and networks can be created and managed. The app provides information about the current status of the connected devices and transmission paths. The XIRIUM PRO devices can be connected to the app through 2 modes: Network mode Several devices connected to the app via an access point. User Manual – XIRIUM PRO® | BDA 470 2015/12 Stand-alone mode Only 1 device is directly connected to the app. 21 Description of product 4.4.2 Repeater A "repeater" is an RX equipped with a repeater module. The repeater is used in the following situations: •• Stabilizing transmission paths The repeater receives the signal from the TX and transmits a redundant signal to the RX. The redundant signal stabilizes the connection and reduces efferts caused by interferences. •• Overcoming obstacles If no line-of-sight connection is possible, obstacles such as walls, glass or even corners can be overcome with the repeater. •• Extending distances When a repeater is used, the distance between TX and RX can be doubled. 4.4.3 Signal quality bar LOW -80 OVERLOAD -60 -28 -25 The signal quality bar displays both RSSI level and packet loss. The scale of the bar refers to the RSSI level (Received Signal Strength Indicator). It is recommend to have an RSSI level not appearing in the “low” and “overload” area. The color of the bar displays the packet loss: •• Bar is displayed green: packet loss is low •• Bar is displayed orange: packet loss is critical •• Bar is displayed red: packet loss is high. A high packet loss increases the probability of losing audio. Examples •• RSSI level received from the TX is critical. •• The packet loss received from TX and RP is low. We recommend to increase the transmission power of the TX. •• RSSI level received from TX and RX are OK •• The color of the bars indicate a high (TX) and a critical (Repeater) packet loss. We recommend to relocate the devices. An improper RSSI level can be modified by increasing or decreasing the transmission power. If the packet loss is high, the position of the devices have to be modified. 22 User Manual – XIRIUM PRO® | BDA 470 2015/12 Description of product 4.4.4 Transmission power Depending on the application, the transmission power should be adjusted with the app so the RSSI level on the receiver remains in the recommended range. However, the 10-foot minimum distance between the TX/RX must always be maintained. This minimum distance applies when the 6 dBi antenna and a transmission power of -3 dB are used. If the 9 dBi antenna and/or a higher transmission power are used, the minimum distance increases. Decreasing transmission power In indoor areas and over short distances. Increasing transmission power In outdoor areas and over longer distances. 4.4.5 XROC mode If only 1 audio signal per RF channel is needed, we recommend using XROC mode. XROC stands for "Extreme Ruggedized One Channel“. In XROC mode, only 1 audio signal at 6 Mbit/sec is available for each RF channel. The connection between the devices is much more stable in XROC mode, because external influences do not interfere with the RF signal between the XIRIUM PRO devices as much. External influences include strong reflections of the RF signal in a room or from buildings, or external signals. The power consumption of the devices is higher in XROC mode. LOW -80 OVERLOAD -70 -28 -25 The increase in the performance range is illustrated in the RX signal quality bar, which displays a smaller “low” area when XROC mode is used. If XROC mode is enabled on a TX, only audio channel 1 is being transmitted. Therefore a linked RX will have no audio on channel 2. User Manual – XIRIUM PRO® | BDA 470 2015/12 23 Description of product 4.4.6 Antennas XIRIUM PRO uses omnidirectional antennas with fixed vertical radiating angles. Neutrik offers two different antennas: the standard 6 dBi antenna, featuring a 25° vertical angle, and an optional 9 dBi antenna with a 12.5° vertical angle. 6 dBi 9 dBi 25° vertical 12.5° vertical 360° horizontal 360° horizontal Using a 9 dBi antenna brings a gain increase of 3 dB, which doubles the transmission power. 4.4.7 Line-of-sight and redundant RF path For a reliable wireless audio link, make sure all XIRIUM PRO devices have a line-of-sight connection. If a line-of-sight connection cannot be established, the receiver may be in a drop-out zone. A dropout zone is a point where phase cancellation occurs between the direct signal and the deflected one. Relocating the transmitter (TX) and/or receiver (RX) can help eliminate this phase anomaly. Using a repeater can also eliminate the problem of the drop out zone. A repeater effectively provides a redundant RF path to all receivers within range. The RX receives identical audio signals from both the transmitter and repeater. Transmitter signal Identical audio signal from two different sources = redundancy Repeater signal RX with repeater module 24 User Manual – XIRIUM PRO® | BDA 470 2015/12 Description of product 4.4.8 Antenna height + distance Consider the Fresnel zone, which is an ellipsoidal area between wireless devices. For XIRIUM PRO TX and RX devices, there should be no obstacles within the Fresnel zone. Maintaining proper antenna height is essential to ensure trouble-free communication between XIRIUM PRO devices. To define an area that is free of obstacles, use the following chart to estimate proper antenna height. radius r Fresnel zone distance d radius r 150 ft 2.7 ft 300 ft 3.8 ft 900 ft 6.6 ft 1500 ft 8.5 ft 3000 ft 12 ft distance d 4.5 Selecting transmission channels 4.5.1 Automatic selection of transmission channels A TX is assigned to channel 149 by default. If channel 149 is already occupied by a different TX, the device searches for the next free channel. The TX saves the last channel used. When switched on again, the TX uses the last channel used, as long as it is not occupied. If the TX changes the channel, all devices in the transmission path are assigned to the new channel. 4.5.2 Manual selection of transmission channels The transmission channel can also be manually adjusted with the app. To guarantee a trouble-free process, the app prevents an adjacent channel from being selected. The transmission channel can be changed on the Edit page. More information in Section "Changing the transmission channel" on page 34.

DANTETM delivers uncompressed, multichannel, low-latency digital audio over a standard Ethernet network using Layer 3 IP packets. A TX DANTE module is able to transmit up to two channels of digital audio, while the RX DANTE module can receive two signals of a DANTETM network. When XROC mode is enabled, only one channel is transmitted and received in a transmission path, because the data rate is then lowered. All products on which DANTETM is enabled work together to deliver perfectly synchronized audio. This is managed through a single software application called “Dante Controller”. Dante Controller is a free software application that enables routing audio and configuring devices in a Dante network. Setting up a DANTETM network is very easy. Dante Controller offers automatic device detection, one-click signal routing and user-editable device and channel labels. A XIRIUM PRO device with an integrated DANTETM module can be connected to the DANTETM network using common CAT5e or CAT6 cables. If a network switch is included in the system, it should be at least a 1 Gbit network switch. 8.1.2 Enabling a DANTETM link ^^Connect the computer to the DANTETM network with a standard CAT5e or CAT6 cable ^^The DANTE Controller software is installed (https://www.audinate.com). cc Run the Dante Controller software. cc In the routing menu, click on the + symbols of the devices. cc Establish the desired link. The XIRIUM PRO TX devices appear as DANTE receivers, and vice versa! User Manual – XIRIUM PRO® | BDA 470 2015/12 47 Appendix 8.2 Access point settings Using an access point makes it possible to operate the app in network mode. This way, the entire XIRIUM PRO system can be configured and monitored via the app. 8.2.1 Recommended settings Any conventional access point can be used to set up a XIRIUM PRO network. Neutrik recommends the following settings for the access point: •• For the strongest security option, use WPA2-AES as security protocol for authentication. •• If the access point has a dual-band radio, deactivate the 5 GHz band and only leave the 2.4 GHz band activated. •• In the list of optional frequencies within the 2.4 GHz band, select channel 1 (2412 MHz), channel 6 (2437 MHz), and channel 11 (2462 MHz) to ensure the channels do not overlap during use. •• Make sure the http and https protocols are not blocked. 8.2.2 XIRIUM PRO basic kit with access point The XIRIUM PRO basic kit includes an outdoor access point. This access point has an output capacity of 1000 mW. The access point has been preconfigured for use with XIRIUM PRO by Neutrik.
