Type

Use the Type list to select from the following input filters: All Pass, High Pass, Low Pass, Notch, and PEQ. G-Ware features other filters which are configured in the Processing section of the software (see page 49).

All Pass. Frequency range is 20Hz to 20kHz with resolution to 1Hz or four places (whichever is larger).

High Pass. Selectable frequency cutoff is 20Hz to 20kHz, in 1Hz increments. Rolloff is 12dB/octave. Level is fixed at 0dB.

Low Pass. Selectable frequency cutoff is 20Hz to 20kHz in 1Hz increments. Rolloff is 12dB/octave. Level is fixed at 0dB.

Notch. Center frequency range is 20Hz to 20kHz with resolution to 1Hz or four places (whichever is larger). Bandwidth is from .05 to 5 octaves in .01 octave increments. Level is fixed at -80dB.

PEQ (parametric equalizer). Center frequency range is 20Hz to 20kHz with resolution to 1Hz or 4 places (whichever is larger). Bandwidth is .05 to 5 octaves in .01 octave increments. Level range is -15 to +15dB in 0.5dB increments.

Frequency. Use Frequency to select the center frequency (in Hertz) for the filter you are configuring. Range is from 20Hz to 20kHz. Default is 1kHz.

Gain. Gain adjusts the gain value from -18 to 18dB, in .5dB steps. Default is 0dB.

Q, or Quality factor. Q, or Quality factor, selects the ratio of the center frequency divided by the bandwidth. Q reflects an inverse relationship to the bandwidth, and adjusts from .02:1 to 40:1 on the XAP 800.

XAP 800 specifications

The ClearOne Comm XAP 800 is a sophisticated audio conferencing system designed to provide seamless communication in various environments, including conference rooms, boardrooms, and large meeting spaces. Known for its versatility and cutting-edge technology, the XAP 800 is a favorite solution for organizations seeking to enhance their audio conferencing capabilities.

One of the standout features of the XAP 800 is its ability to support up to 16 microphones. This is crucial for larger meetings, ensuring that every participant can be heard clearly, regardless of their location in the room. The device uses advanced audio technologies, including Automatic Gain Control (AGC), which automatically adjusts microphone sensitivity to maintain consistent audio levels. This ensures that the conversation remains intelligible even as participants lean in or shift their positions.

The XAP 800 also incorporates ClearOne’s proprietary Acoustic Echo Cancellation (AEC) technology. This feature eliminates echo disruptions that can occur in audio conferencing, allowing for clear and productive conversations. AEC works by differentiating between direct sound from microphones and echoed sound returning from speakers, ensuring that participants hear each other without feedback interference.

Another significant advantage of the XAP 800 is its integration capabilities. The system is designed to work seamlessly with a variety of third-party audio and video conferencing products, allowing businesses to expand their communication infrastructure without the need for extensive reconfiguration. The XAP 800 also supports USB connectivity, enabling easy integration with PCs and laptops for web conferencing solutions.

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.
