The Designer software application enables system integrators and designers to create projects with multiple MXA910 Ceiling Array Microphones positioned over an imported room layout diagram. The pickup lobes and other settings for each MXA910 can be configured and saved on the user’s computer, without being connected to any MXA910 hardware. These settings can then be exported as device preset files, which can be imported into each physical MXA910 through its user interface.
