DESCRIPTION
Digital control unit for an unlimited number of wireless microphone units with or without loudspeaker and for multi-channel
transmission. Integrated diversity combiner for max. 8 smart link receiving modules. As a standard max. 4 microphone units can be
switched on (3 delegates and 1 chairman) and 5 audio channels can be transmitted to the microphone units. With an additional
printed circuit board 7 delegates and 1 chairman can be switched on and 8 audio channels can be transmitted to the microphone
units.
There is a constant status inquiry, monitoring or control due to the bi-directional data connection to the microphone units.
Individual microphone units can be activated via the RS 232 serial interface. The complete discussion system can be switched off via
a control command or by pressing the “Stand-by” button on the front. The 8 LEDs on the front indicate the assigned transmission
channels of the microphones. To increase the security of the system, the control unit can operate in the “security mode” i.e. the
control unit only operates with microphone units which have been defined before. As an option the control unit can be complemented
with the “Individual In/Out” and “Digital In/Out” board. With the “Individual In/Out” board it is possible to transmit and receive
the signals of the individual activated microphone units or to transmit up to 8 audio signals to the microphone units. With the
“Digital In/Out” board the audio signals can be transmitted as AES/EBU or S-PDIF standard.
