Introduction

As a leading manufacturer in the A/V industry, Sony offers a wide range of
public address and sound reinforcement products utilizing sophisticated Sony
audio, wireless and interfacing technologies to provide a comprehensive business
and industrial product line.
In 2002, Sony introduced an innovative all-in-one system concept for multimedia
presentations, the SRP-X700P Digital Powered Mixer. Designed to function as
the central control hub for the integration of video, audio and PC media sources,
this mixer allows for rich content and multimedia presentation systems to be
easily configured, without integrating several separate A/V presentation devices.
Best suited for use with in mid- to large-scale conference rooms, seminar rooms,
and audio-visual rooms, the SPR-X700P is now widely accepted in many different
arenas including education, and the corporate and public sectors.
In 2005, expanding on this all-in-one concept, Sony introduced the SRP-X500P.
This cost-effective mixer is an ideal choice in small to mid-scale presentation
systems that are typically used in conference rooms, corporate boardrooms,
classrooms, and houses of worship.
Soon after the launch of the SRP-X500P, however, system integrators and
installers were confronted with questions: What is the best choice for a specific
application – the SRP-X500P or the SRP-X700P? What are the differences
between these two mixers?
To help answer these questions, this guide provides the following useful

• Establishing an effective system using the key features of the SRP-X500P

integration activities.
