Introduction

What is Conference mode?
This function enables flexible wireless microphone operation by assigning wireless microphones to multiple channels on wireless receivers and extension wireless receivers.
Features of Conference mode
By turning on Conference mode, you can share 2 channels on a receiver with 8 microphones, for example (which channel a microphone uses depends on the availability of the channel at that time).
Association of shared channels and microphones can be freely set in the matrix using the Operations Support Software. This allows for flexible microphone operation in various situations, such as setting microphones dedicated to one channel or grouping microphones for each channel.
Associations can be switched all at once based on the use case because association between shared channels and microphones can be saved and loaded as a settings file with the Operations Support Software.
You can turn communication on and off remotely by using the Wireless Transmitter (WX-ST600P) and Wireless Microphone (WX-ST700P). Also, if the microphones registered in the same channel consist only of Wireless Transmitters (WX-ST600P) and Wireless Microphones (WX-ST700P), you can set the operation priority setting to interruptible to interrupt a channel that is already in use with another microphone.

To use Conference mode, the following Conference mode-supported wireless receivers, extension wireless Important receivers, wireless antennas, and Operations Support Software are required.

To use Conference mode with wireless receivers, extension wireless receivers, and wireless antennas earlier than V6.00, update all the firmware to V6.00 or later. To update, please refer to the manual of the Operations Support Software. Do not downgrade a V6.00 device to a version earlier than V6.00. Operation is not guaranteed.

STEP 2: Pair
A microphone and receiver must be paired with each other in order to establish a connection. The receiver uses different microphone pairing information when Conference mode is on and off. Therefore, to use Conference mode, you must pair separately for Conference mode. Pairing can be performed from the receiver or the Conference mode setting screen of the Operations Support Software. This manual describes the procedure using the Operations Support Software and wireless microphone (WX-ST700P) as an example.
Pairing

Operation priority setting

Setting the operation priority

The operation priority setting is a function that allows you to set the operation priority when the microphones registered on the same channel consist only of Wireless Transmitters (WX-ST600P) and Wireless Microphones (WX- ST700P).

Uninterruptible: If a microphone is already communicating on a channel, you cannot start communicating on that channel with another microphone.
Interruptible: If a microphone is already communicating on a channel, you can end communication on that microphone and start communicating with another microphone.

memo

In the normal state (Conference mode off), if multiple microphones are registered in one channel, communication

is always uninterruptible.

Operation priority selection

1 Turn on Conference mode with the same procedure as “Flow for setting Conference
mode”.

2 Switch the operation priority setting.

Important

The operation priority setting is not for each channel, but for the system as a whole. Regardless of the operation priority setting, channels to which a microphone (WX-ST200P/400P) is registered
are always uninterruptible. For interruptible, the microphone that is interrupted by another microphone is put into the communication
standby state.

3memo Click the [Update] button.
A confirmation message for restarting will be displayed when switching. Click [Yes] to restart the receiver.

memo

Switching the operation priority setting can take up to about 1 minute for the receiver to restart.
