Shure AXT600 Spectrum Manager

  • The Spectrum Manager captures scan data for the entire UHF frequency range available for wireless audio
  • The on-board frequency calculator can be adjusted to avoid specific TV channels, frequency ranges or RF signal above a specified threshold
  • Event Log records actions of the Spectrum Manager during operation and provides a snapshot of system performance.
  • Backup Frequency Monitoring
  • The data screen tracks the real-time status of in-use and backup frequencies
  • Scanner feature graphically plots the measured RF signal across the full frequency range
  • Use the Listen feature to tune to a frequency and monitor FM demodulated signal using headphones
  • Networking enables many of the advanced features of the Axient system, including monitoring and control of remote devices
  • RF Cascade Ports allow sharing of RF signal with up to 5 components without antenna splitters or distribution amplifiers

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

  • Wideband scanning
    • 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.
