Polycom SoundStructure C16 User Manual

Linking Multiple SoundStructure Devices with OBAM
7 - 15
Connecting Polycom HDX Microphones
As described in Chapter 6, up to 4 HDX microphones may be connected to
each SoundStructure device depending on the SoundStructure model. With
OBAM linked devices, a total of 32 HDX microphones may be added to a
system of 8 SoundStructure devices.
Microphones will be numbered sequentially across SoundStructure devices as
shown in the following figure with microphones plugged into the right rear
CLink2 port. As discussed in Chapter 6, HDX digital microphones plugged
into the SoundStructure’s right rear Clink2 port are numbered so that the clos-
est microphone corresponds to the first HDX microphone from
SoundStructure Studio’s perspective.
When HDX microphones are connected across multiple SoundStructure
devices, the same numbering sequence applies. For example, designing a large
system with 8 HDX microphones may be wired as shown in the next figure
When using HDX microphones, update the HDX microphones to the latest firmware
by connecting each microphone one at a time to the SoundStructure device. The
SoundStructure device will compare the version of microphone firmware in the
SoundStructure device with that in the microphone and if the SoundStructure
device contains a newer version of microphone firmware, the HDX microphone will
be updated with the new firmware.
