1 Overview
About This Chapter
The HUAWEI VPM220W wireless microphone array (VPM220W) is a wireless audio pickup device that can seamlessly integrate with HUAWEI TEX0 series videoconferencing endpoints and HUAWEI DP300 videoconferencing endpoint.
The VPM220W uses three microphones spaced 120 degrees apart, offering 360-degree audio pickup at a radius of up to 6 meters. The VPM220W offers premium audio input to videoconferencing endpoints, significantly contributing to a more pleasant conference experience.
1.1 Features
Flexible Access
The VPM220W connects to a videoconferencing endpoint over Wi-Fi. When you use the VPM220W for the first time, you will need to manually search for an available Wi-Fi network. The next time you use the VPM220W, it automatically connects to the same endpoint.
The VPM220W can be easily moved based on the number of meeting participants and the layout of the venue. This avoids the inconvenience associated with wired microphones.
The VPM220W network is simple and because its microphones directly communicate with the videoconferencing endpoint over Wi-Fi, it ensures stable signals and strong anti-interference capabilities. However, the VPM220W does not support cascading.
Reliable and Easy to Use
The VPM220W has a mute button on top of the device. Tapping the mute button will mute or unmute all the VPM220Ws of the same site.
You can use the VPM220W directly after it starts up without performing any additional configurations.
The VPM220W is equipped with a rechargeable battery and comes with a charger base that can recharge one or more VPM220Ws simultaneously. A fully charged VPM220W provides up to 8 hours of active time and 24 hours of standby time.

1 Overview |
You can easily store and maintain the VPM220W without disconnecting cables. Incorrect cable disconnection may lead to microphone unavailability.
High-Quality Audio
The VPM220W supports 360-degree audio pickup at a radius of up to 6 meters.
The VPM220W delivers high-quality audio using frequency compensation technologies.
The VPM220W supports both mono and stereo applications.
Low Power Consumption
The VPM220W utilizes an energy-efficiency design. It consumes less than 2 W of power in active mode and less than 0.7 W in standby mode.
Videoconferencing endpoints, rather than the VPM220W, perform audio processing, which reduces the VPM220W's power consumption.
1.2Components
Unpack the product and ensure that all the necessary components are included.
Table 1-1 lists the VPM220W components. If you have purchased optional accessories, check them against your order.
