Axel Tech Macrotel X1 Multimode Smart Phone Hybrid


The new generation of Macrotel X introduces the AxelTech Multimode Technology.
The internal framework based on DSP (Digital Signal Processor) allows to work in real time achieving the highest audio performance.
This Technology sets Macrotel X1 Multimode and Macrotel X2 Multimode as cutting-edge equipment in the telephone interface technology and allows managing one or two telephone connections: POTS (Plain Old Telephone Service) landline, VoIP, Bluetooth or GSM (with optional interface). With Macrotel X2 Multimode any technology combination is possible.
Audio enhancement features are custom designed to guarantee the best quality in phone calls. Thanks to AxelTech's ten-year experience in the field of audio processing we should consider this product not a common telephone hybrid but a Telephone Audio Processor able to shape the sound to optimize the yield of every single phone call. In fact the new Macrotel X Multimode series integrate a powerful DSP system that takes care of the telephone signal process:
  • Automatic Gain control (AGC)
  • Echo canceller
  • Hold caller/Attenuator
  • Expander and Compressor
  • Audio Limiter
  • 3 Bands Fully parametric Equalizer

The new Macrotel X Multimode range does not require the installation of any software: the unit has an integrated Web server supporting the most popular browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Explorer, Opera, etc.).
A simple and intuitive GUI can be accessed through any device: PC, notebook, tablet, smartphone, etc.
For services synchronization and logs the Macrotel connects to a NTP server.
The main XLR input and output connectors can manage analogue or AES/EBU signals according to the device settings (AES/EBU input/output is optional).
A second XLR analogue output is anyway available. In Bluetooth mode the two outputs act like a stereo balanced output.
Macrotel X Multimode is able to record the telephone calls audio on a USB flash memory plugged in the USB front panel slot.
Audio will be recorded in PCM format with a self-explaining filename based on date/time and can include only the RX audio or both RX and TX signals.
Moreover it’s possible to send an RTP-PCM audio stream to an external PC to record the call.
This recording can include only the RX audio or both RX and TX signals.
A multiple GPIO port allows to manage the device from external equipment, like audio console or PC.
System sends “Ring”, “Hold”, “Hook” and “REC” status and manages “Hook”, “Rec”, “Mode” and “Hold” functions.
On the front panel an audio meters with 18 LEDs shows the RX and TX audio level of each channel. Additional LEDs show working Mode and Power on.
Power supply can be between 90 and 260 V AC - 50/60 Hz: this allows to use it worldwide.

Supported PBXs and Phone Service Providers
Macrotel X1/X1 require interoperability with established VoIP providers.
Such services are delivered via either a SIP-based IP PBX or a cloud-based telephone service provider.
Each of these services can be quite complex and such complexity is reflected in the difficulties that sometimes arise when configuring AxelTech products to interact with them.
AxelTech constantly strives to ensure that its products are as compatible as possible with these types of services, but the continuous and inevitable evolution of firmware and hardware between AxelTech and third-party systems can cause inevitable incompatibilities.
It is therefore important to remember that changes made by service providers or by the PBXs themselves can cause compatibility problems with AxelTech products.
Below we have listed the PBXs and VoIP service providers that have been used successfully by our customers with our products.
This does not mean that these services are fully compatible with those products 100% of the time, as these services are constantly evolving.
Rather, it means that at least one AxelTech customer has reported that their system currently interacts successfully with our products. This does not mean that AxelTech has directly tested the compatibility.
It is our hope that this document will lead customers who are considering using our products with services other than those listed below, to contact our technical support team before purchasing this service.
As stated above, the worlds of PBX and VoIP are complex and ever-changing. This combined with the reality of limited resources prevents us from making our devices compatible with every service in every firmware version. If you have difficulty interacting with your AxelTech product with your PBX or VoIP provider, please contact AxelTech technical support for ideas or alternative solutions.
Finally, we will allow the customer to return the AxelTech product and obtain a refund if the device is not compatible with the service he has selected.

Supported PBXs: Asterix
Supported VoIP Providers: Olimon Tel
