MLxi / MLxi Baha
The MLxi / MLxi Baha is a universal Dynamic
FM receiver.
Overview
Frequency Management
MLxi/MLxi Baha is a multichannel receiver and can be
synchronized to any desired channel by the synchronization
feature of the transmitter or by the WallPilot. As default, MLxi
comes with a pre-programmed default channel. Every time
the system is turned On, it will come on to this default channel.
The default channel can be changed by FM SuccessWare if
required. It is also possible to change the startup behavior of
MLxi / MLxi Baha to “use last used channel”. If this option is
chosen, MLxi / MLxi Baha will start up on the last channel used.
AutoConnect and Fitting with FM SuccessWare
AutoConnect is a feature of MLxi. This feature measures very
precisely the impedance of the audio input and automatically
sets the output to match that of the input. Due to the higher
input impedance range of cochlear implants, AutoConnect
may not find the correct matching parameters. Because of
this, it is recommended to program the MLxi. Programming
of the MLxi for the specific processor will disable the
AutoConnect feature and the output parameters of MLxi
match the impedance of the selected processor and no
additional FM gain is required.
If no FM SuccessWare is available for programming the MLxi
you may experience:
Hearing a strong tone burst on startup
Freedom BW and 3G speech processor having incorrect
FM levels
Harmony / Auria and Freedom Bodyworn showing incorrect
Monitoring results
On the following processors AutoConnect works fine:
MED-El OPUS2
All speech processor using MicroLink CI S.
Please refer to page 32 to learn how to program the MLxi for
a specific processor.
Monitoring
MLxi / MLxi Baha is able to communicate with the inspiro
Dynamic FM transmitter. When running the Monitoring option
of inspiro, data from the receiver such as battery status and
actual channel can be obtained. Range of the communication
link is usually 20 cm. Due to the strong magnetic field of the
cochlear implant coil, the distance may be lower.
Connector
MLxi features a universal euro connector which ensures
compatibility to virtually all behind the ear (BTE) hearing
instruments and CI systems.
MLxi Baha features a smaller 3-Pin connector which is
compatible to most Baha sound processors.
Push Button
The push button of MLxi is by default disabled and has no
function. Activation of the push button can be carried out by
FM SuccessWare or by an inspiro Dynamic FM transmitter.
The enabled push button then operates as an On / Off switch.
For some speech processors, enabling the push button may
have further functions. Please read the corresponding notes
in the Fitting Guidelines section.
