A colored cell in the routing matrix marks the intersection or cross point of the routing from input to output. The color of the cross point cell identifies the input type: yellow = gated mic input, blue = non-gated mic input, and green = all other inputs. The amount of attenuation is also shown in the cross point cell. Black cell are restricted routing paths which prevent E-bus and Processing channels from being routed back to themselves.

The numbers and letters along the top and left side of the matrix show the cross point coordinates. The input number or letter and the output number or letter will be highlighted blue for the selected cross point.

All inputs and outputs are labeled to make it easier to identify channels. Clicking on a label will open a labels window where you can change the channel labels.

The device is equipped with multiple audio input and output ports, providing flexibility in configuration. Users can connect various hardware such as external speakers, additional microphones, and even video conferencing equipment. This adaptability makes the XAP 800 suitable for different setups, whether it’s a simple room with a few microphones or a complex installation with multiple audio and video sources.

User-friendly controls and an intuitive interface make operation straightforward, allowing even those less tech-savvy to manage audio settings with ease. The system is designed to be installed quickly, reducing downtime and ensuring that organizations can get back to effective communication without delay.

In summary, the ClearOne Comm XAP 800 is a powerful audio conferencing solution that combines advanced technologies with flexibility and ease of use. Its features such as support for multiple microphones, Acoustic Echo Cancellation, and seamless integration with other systems make it an ideal choice for businesses looking to enhance their communication efforts.
