Shure AXT600 Axient Spectrum Manager

Shure AXT600 Axient Spectrum Manager

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.

Features:

• Scans and analyzes the global UHF spectrum (470-952 MHz) in approximately one minute
• Continuously monitors, evaluates, and displays backup frequencies in real time
• Enables powerful RF protection features such as series automatic interference detection and avoidance via ShowLink™
• Compatible with Axient Digital and other Shure networked wireless systems, and works seamlessly with Wireless Workbench Software
• Easily connects to your computer or ShowLink Access Point via two Ethernet ports
• IEC in/out power ports enable daisy-chaining of AC power
