Shure AXT600 Axient Spectrum Manager

Overview

The Axient Spectrum Manager is a powerful tool for calculating, analyzing and assigning compatible frequencies to wireless components. The Spectrum Manager scans the RF environment and uses this data to calculate compatible frequencies for all wireless channels found on the network. Networked wireless systems can be programmed from the Compatible Frequency List, while backup frequencies are continuously monitored and ranked according to quality. During operation, the Spectrum Manager deploys clear frequencies to receivers when interference occurs. Built-in spectrum monitoring tools provide visual and audio tracking of RF activity.

Wideband Scanning

The Spectrum Manager captures scan data for the entire UHF frequency range available for wireless audio. The scan is compiled using two antenna inputs, with sensitivity and resolution that are directly applicable to wireless receivers.

Compatible Frequency List

The Compatible Frequency List (CFL) is list of available frequencies that can be calculated, viewed, and edited from the Spectrum Manager or it can be generated from a computer running Wireless Workbench^® 6. The on-board frequency calculator can be adjusted to avoid specific TV channels, frequency ranges or RF signal above a specified threshold. During operation the Spectrum Manager provides current status of each frequency in the list. Clear frequencies are deployed from the compatible frequency list to initially setup a system or to replace frequencies degraded by interference.

Event Log

The Event Log records actions of the Spectrum Manager during operation. Actions include changes to frequencies and equipment controlled by the Spectrum Manager. Reviewing the event log after a performance provides a snapshot of system performance.

Backup Frequency Monitoring

The data screen tracks the status of all frequencies available for Axient systems. The number of frequencies is displayed for each band, including real-time status of in-use and backup frequencies.

RF Scanning

The scanning feature of the Spectrum Manager graphically plots the measured RF signal across the full frequency range. Cursor, Zoom, and Peak tools allow detailed inspection of the data.

Listen

Use the Listen feature to tune to a frequency and monitor FM demodulated signal using headphones. The data screen displays the signal strength for the selected frequency.

Networking

Networking enables many of the advanced features of the Axient system, including monitoring and control of remote devices. Rack components have two RJ45 Ethernet ports capable of 10/100 Mbps network speeds. The Ethernet ports are power over Ethernet (PoE) enabled to supply power to the ShowLink™ access point or other class 1 Ethernet devices.
