MIC IN
The MIC IN port allows you to connect a wired microphone directly to the Spottune Stream.
When microphone input receives signal, it has priority over all other audio sources — meaning that any music or content playing will automatically mute. This ensures clear and uninterrupted announcements.
📌 Bonus info: You would also use the MIC IN, to integrate your EVAC system into the Spottune system. For a step-by-step guide on how to integrate your EVAC system with your Spottune system, read our article on How to Integrate your Spottune System with your EVAC System.
MIC IN is located on the back panel of the Stream.
Simply connect a standard microphone using the AUX-style input.
No configuration is needed — as soon as you press the Microphone button on the front panel, the system will broadcast your voice.
When you release the button, normal audio playback resumes.
Step 3: Confirm Your Selection
When the desired input is displayed on the screen, simply stop pressing the INPUT button.
The selected input will remain active until changed again.
