# HDX microphone coverage and speaker audio FAQs

## Microphone coverage

### How many microphones are in each HDX audio bar?

Each Nureva® HDX audio bar contains a 10-microphone, two-dimensional array that contributes to the unified Microphone Mist coverage map.

### How many microphones are in each HDX microphone pod?

Each HDX microphone pod contains a 10-microphone array.

### Does the HDX system provide full-room microphone coverage?

Yes. HDX systems use Nureva’s Microphone Mist technology to provide full-room microphone coverage.

### What is Microphone Mist technology?

Microphone Mist fills the room with thousands of virtual microphones, maintaining consistent audio pickup no matter where people are or how the room is configured.

### How does Microphone Mist work?

Microphone Mist combines all physical microphone arrays into a single unified coverage map, creating thousands of virtual microphones that adapt automatically as people move or furniture changes.

### How does the unified coverage map work?

The unified coverage map is a feature of Microphone Mist technology that simplifies and improves the performance of multiple physical microphone arrays in large spaces. It collects data from each array and processes it together as a single unified 3D microphone array. This eliminates the need for complex manual configuration and helps maintain consistent audio across the room, including when multiple people speak at once.

### Where is all digital signal processing (DSP) handled?

All digital signal processing is centralized in the HDX system hub, eliminating the need for external DSP hardware.

## Speaker audio

### Does the HDX series provide distributed full-range speaker coverage?

Yes. The Nureva HDX series delivers full-range distributed audio for room-filling sound throughout large spaces.

### What is full-range distributed audio?

Full-range distributed audio enhances in-room playback of media content such as videos and presentations, as well as amplified speech. This is separate from far-end conferencing audio and is intended for everyone in the physical space.

### Does the HDX series support program audio playback?

Yes. The HDX system is designed to reproduce program audio such as video, music, and other media across the room.

### Does the HDX series support a subwoofer?

Yes. The HDX system hub includes a dedicated ¼" TRS subwoofer output with crossover control to extend low-frequency response when needed.

### Is the HDX suitable for extra-large rooms?

Yes, depending on configuration. The Nureva HDX system is designed to maintain clarity and intelligibility in extra-large spaces with distributed speakers, wide dispersion, and consistent Sound Pressure Level (SPL) targets.
