2 i n n o v a t i v e s o l u t i o n s Content Page Introduction XIRIUM - DIWA Technology XIRIUM - Features and Customer Value Definitions, Abbreviations & Useful Information Neutrik, the worldwide leading supplier of professional entertainment connector products establishes yet another milestone. Today, you can hardly imagine any stage, concert or public event without wireless applications. Therefore, Neutrik undertook intensive research looking into the subject of wireless audio data transmission. The vision of a wireless transmission system between two connectors and to transmit audio signals in studio quality has been turned into reality by Neutrik with the help of the innovative DIWA technology and the product XIRIUM, a digital, wireless, audio network. NEUTRIK, opticalcon, neutricon, minicon, nanocon, powercon, Profi, speakon, silentplug, crystalcon, ethercon, reartwist, XIRIUM, DIWA are registered trademarks of Neutrik AG. 168 innovative solutions I superior quality

3 s u p e r i o r q u a l i t y NX4TRX Base station NX1TX (transmit) NX1RX (receive) NX1TX-T (transmit) NX1RX-T (receive) DIWA the technology With DIWA (Digital Wireless Audio) Neutrik has developed a technology which stands for digital data transmission without data compression but provides high-level sound quality. Though wireless, the audio signals are transmitted by DIWA in cable quality. As a result no compromise from an audio point of view needs to be made in situations where no cable can be used. The technical data proves this impressively: 24 bit / 48 khz sampling, THD (total harmonic distortion) < 1 khz, SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) > khz (dynamic) and last but not least a very short delay of 3 msec. Choosing the 5 GHz frequency band eliminated the need for time-consuming approval processes and extensive channel management. A transmission and receiving protocol specifically developed for DIWA as well as patented error correction functions guarantee a robust and noiseless transmission of the data packet and best functionality. XIRIUM the product With the digital, wireless audio connetor network XIRIUM, the first product based on the DIWA technology, Neutrik ventures a glimpse into the future. XIRIUM combines digital transmission and receiving lines in one system and delivers the highest sound quality, unique reliability and ease of handling. Plug and Play due to the ease of set-up and the automatic frequency management, the search for free frequencies and the selection of channels no longer apply. With XIRIUM a bidirectional audio network can be built up in which the signal sources and signal receiver can be integrated wirelessly. A 4 channel basis unit (XIRIUM TRX) together with mobile transmission (XIRIUM TX) and receiving units (XIRIUM RX) give first access to the XIRIUM network. With an extension unit the network can easily be upgraded to a total of 8 channels. Allocation and the selection of input and output channels are flexibly configurable and allow the versatile use of the network

4 X I R I U M Features and Customer Value Flexible multi-tool for wireless audio networking The professional multichannel wireless network XIRIUM combines digital transmit and receive paths with the utmost sound quality, unique reliability and easy installation and operation. It is based on the future-oriented DIWA (Digital Wireless Audio) technology within the 5 GHz frequency band and will allow you to set up audio connector networks in which sources and receiving units can be integrated wirelessly. PURE SOUND Data transmission in studio quality The XIRIUM transmits uncompressed data with a sampling rate of 48 khz and with a resolution of 24 bit within the 5 GHz band. THD (total harmonic distortion) < 1 khz, SNR (signal-to-noise ratio) (dynamic) > khz, latency 3 msec. This means that audio signals are transferred with a delay of 3 msec and uncompressed in studio quality. ROBUST TRANSMISSION Secure and noiseless operation Transmission and receiving protocol specifically developed for DIWA, FEC (forward error correction) and concealment algorithms correct any irregularities, antennas diversity. 170 innovative solutions I superior quality

5 D I G I T A L W I R E L E S S A U D I O N E T W O R K PLUG & PLAY Easy installation and operation Operation within the 5 GHz band, no licenses required, automatic frequency management, memory functions. MULTIFUNCTIONAL USE Upgrade to your needs DIWA not only supports more than one transmission channel, but enables the set-up of multichannel networks (at present up to 8 audio channels, in broadcast mode - 24 lines). Send and receive Networks based on the DIWA technology can send and receive audio signals. Thus, both signal sources (instruments, microphones etc.) and signal receivers (loudspeakers, mixers etc.) can be integrated in a digital wireless system.
