The Basics
The IPEVO VX-1 Internet Conference Station provides a high-quality, fuss-free teleconferencing
experience. Hear and be heard clearly without the hassle of installing drivers and extra software.
Simply plug in your computer or iDevice (iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch) and launch your preferred
conferencing software.
VX-1 has been designed and engineered specifically to receive and transmit human voices.
When in action, VX-1 utilizes built-in noise reduction, echo cancellation technology and audio
enhancement to clarify and smooth voices.
VX-1 is equipped with a total of five high-definition microphones: one Omnidirectional Mic (Omni
Mic) and four Unidirectional Mics. You can choose to capture the whole conversation using the
Omni Mic or choose just a few people by selecting a specific Unidirectional Mic.

The Omni Mic has a an optimal pick-up range of
6.5 feet. The maximum pick-up range is 13 feet.
Each Unidirectional Mic has an optimal pick-up range
of 10 feet. The maximum pick-up range is 16 feet.

Get to Know VX-1: Mics
Default Mode: Omni Mic
Zone Enhancement Mode: Unidirectional Mics
The Omni Mic is the only mic active in VX-1’s Default Mode. The Omni Mic receives sound evenly in
a 360-degree range, making it best suited for capturing the voices of all participants in a conference.
In Enhanced Mode a single Unidirectional Mic (Uni Mic) is active. You can select a Uni Mic by
pressing the Mic Zone Select button. Uni Mics primarily receive sound in a specific direction and
are tuned so that they minimize sounds that do not come from that direction. Uni Mics also have a
higher sensitivity and longer range than the Omni Mic.

Two Ways to Use VX-1
There are two ways to operate your VX-1.
Mode 1: USB Mode (PC/Mac)
Mode 2: iDevice Mode (External Audio in/out)

*Note: If your Computer and your iDevice are both connected to VX-1, only your iDevice can
make calls. To use your Computer to make calls, unplug the 3.5mm audio cable from VX-1.
Choice 2:
Computer (USB)

External Audio
in/out
Your iDevice (iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch) works with VX-1, but VX-1 requires a separate
power source. You can use an AC adapter or your Computer as a USB power source. When your
iDevice is plugged into VX-1, VX-1 automatically becomes your default microphone and speaker.
Connect VX-1 directly to your Computer’s USB port. No external power required.

Installing VX-1: USB Mode
If you plan to use VX-1 with your Computer, follow these instructions:
Step 1: Connect the USB cable to your Computer. You do not need to install any software or drivers.
Step 2: Turn the Power Switch clockwise till you hear a “Click” sound.
The LEDs will light up and flash a few times when VX-1 has been turned on successfully. The Power Switch
also controls the volume. Keep turning the knob clockwise to increase the volume (1= Quietest, 10= Loudest).

*Note: Sound quality will not be as good when making calls through your cellphone network.
Making calls through the internet will ensure better sound quality. This is because phone calls
made through your network have to pass through the PTSN (Public Switched Telephone Network)
which lowers the sound sampling rate (rate at which sound is sampled) to conserve bandwidth.

FAQ
If my Computer and iDevice are both plugged into VX-1, can I make calls using my Computer?
No. VX-1 will automatically switch to your iDevice if you have plugged in the 3.5mm audio cable. If
you wish to use your Computer to make calls please unplug the 3.5mm audio cable from VX-1.
When powering on VX-1 the LEDs flash a few times and stop. Is this normal?
Yes. When VX-1 powers on it has to communicate internally with 3 IC chips. When it has finished
communicating the blinking will stop, at this moment in time VX-1 is then ready to be used.
When I plug in or remove the 3.5mm audio cable from VX-1, the LEDs flash a few times before
stopping. Is this normal?
Yes. When you plug in or remove the audio cable, VX-1 switches modes to either load/unload your
iDevice. Once loading/unloading is complete the LEDs will stop flashing and VX-1 is ready to go.
What type of USB AC adapter can I use with VX-1?
VX-1 needs an adapter with a rating of at least 5V/500mA. As long as your AC adapter’s rating is the
same or more (e.g. 5V/1A, 5V/2.1A) it is compatible with VX-1. If you have an iDevice, your iDevice AC
adapter is also compatible with VX-1.
Why is the sound quality better when making calls using the internet/WiFi versus making calls using a
cellphone network?
When you use the internet to make a call the sound sampling rate is higher (16k Hz) than when you
make a call using a cellphone network (8K Hz). This is why sound quality is better when you call
using the internet. The reason for the low sampling rate is because when you make a call through
your cellphone network it passes through the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to save
bandwidth PTSN lowers the sampling rate.
Does VX-1 remember my Mic settings?
VX-1 will remember which Mic setting was selected before you pressed mute and will revert to the
previous setting when you unmute. However, VX-1 will only remember your mic settings for the
current session.

I cannot see or select VX-1 as my active speaker/microphone in my conferencing software (PC/Mac only).
1. VX-1 is not turned on. Please check to see VX-1 has been turned on properly (LEDs should be lit up).
Turn the green knob clockwise to power on VX-1.
2. The 3.5mm- audio cable is plugged in. Please unplug the audio cable. Your computer will not be
able to detect VX-1 if the audio cable has been plugged in.
3. The USB Cable is loose or not connected. Please make sure the USB cable has been plugged in securely.
No sound is coming from the speaker.
1. The speaker is on mute. Please check your Computer or iDevice settings to make sure you have not
selected mute.
2. The person you are calling has their microphone on mute. Please ask them to unmute their microphone.
3. The speaker volume is too low. Please increase the volume. You can do this by turning the Green
knob clockwise or by adjusting the volume on your Computer/iDevice.
4. The person you are calling has their microphone sensitivity set too low. Please ask them to set
their microphone sensitivity to high.
5. Make sure you have selected VX-1’s speaker as the active speaker in your software or application
(PC/Mac only).
The person I am calling cannot hear me.
1. Your microphone is set to mute. If the LED indicators on VX-1 are red then your Microphones are
currently muted. Press the red mute button to unmute. If the indicators are green please check to
see that your microphone has not been muted on your iDevice or Computer.
2. The person you are calling has set their speaker on mute. Please ask them to unmute their speaker.
3. The person you are calling has set their speaker volume too low. Please ask them to increase the
speaker volume.
4. Make sure you have selected VX-1’s microphone as the active microphone in your software or
application (PC/Mac only).
5. Your microphone sensitivity is set too low. Please adjust the microphone sensitivity to high. VX-1’s
default microphone sensitivity is set to high, so you should only need to adjust sensitivity if you
have adjusted it before (PC/Mac only).
