Connection Diagram

Cascading

A cascade cable (AT-CAP-SP100-CBL or AT-CAP-SP100-CBL-5M) can be purchased through atlona.com to allow two AT-CAP-SP100s to be connected to another, enabling a larger conference area to be covered.

NOTE: Both units are powered separately. The cascade cable will not pass power between the units.

Connect one end of the cascade cable to the AUX port of the first unit and the second end into the AUX of the second unit.

NOTE: For fixed installations, the AT-CAP-SP100-CBL-5M is the best option for audio cascading. If the units may move, the AT-CAP-SP100-CBL is the best option for cascading.
Power on the first unit and connect it to the conference device. The connection can be either USB or Bluetooth, but the AUX port will be unavailable while cascading
Select the unit as the default audio device for audio input and playback.
Power on the second unit. It will detect the connection to the first unit and pair to share controls.

Now that both units are on and connected, any button presses on either unit will be mirrored on the other unit.
