Shure Axient AXT600US Spectrum Manager

Description

Defining a new class of RF management tools, the AXT600 Axient Spectrum Manager delivers wide-band UHF spectrum scanning, spectrum analysis and compatible frequency coordination all in a single rack unit. By scanning and displaying the RF environment, calculating compatible frequencies and deploying them to Axient receivers easily and efficiently, the Axient Spectrum Manager offers a sophisticated interface and precise information for allocating the best available frequencies to any number of wireless channels. For added flexibility in complex RF environments, the AXT600 also monitors and ranks a live list of backup frequencies and can deploy them instantly and automatically when an Axient Receiver detects interference. Together with Shure Wireless Workbench 6 software, Axient Spectrum Management tools offer a rich graphical interface for viewing the RF world and choosing the optimal frequencies for all of an event’s wireless channels.

Coordination

• Scans the global UHF spectrum (470-952) MHz in less than 1 minute.
• Scan data is directly matched to Axient receiver parameters and performance; the scan results are stored for later analysis.
• On board frequency calculator generates compatible frequencies for all networked Shure wireless devices.
• Frequency lists can be exported to the Spectrum Manager from Wireless Workbench 6
• Networked hardware programming simplifies and streamlines setup of multi-channel Axient and UHF-R systems.
• Advanced user controls
• Adjustable threshold excludes frequencies above a selected noise level.
• Known TV channels or frequency ranges to avoid can be input quickly and easily.
• Viewable and editable frequency list.
• Analysis of a modified frequency list to verify compatibility.

Analysis

• Backup frequency monitoring continuously evaluates backup frequencies in real time.
• Backup frequency ranking evaluates the quality of backup frequencies and determines which are most viable for use.
• Frequency list management maintains knowledge of all devices on the network.
• On-demand frequency server delivers a clean, compatible frequency when a change is required.

Visibility

• Spectrum display provides a front-panel spectrum plot with Cursor, Zoom and Peak Find.
• Backup frequency display quantifies backup frequencies ready for use by Axient channels.
• “Listen” feature demodulates FM signals for headphone monitoring and displays real-time signal strength.

Connectivity

• RF signal cascade connects up to 5 receivers using 1 RF signal source.
• 2 Ethernet ports allow convenient computer and ShowLink® Access Point connection.
• IEC in/out power ports enable daisy-chaining of AC power.
