WHAT IS COUNCILMAN?
CouncilMAN is a wired conference system that’s simple to set up and
easy to use. The main system components include:
• CHM-100 Chairman base
• DEL-100 Delegate bases
• Gooseneck microphones
• AN-100CM speaker/power console
Station to station connection is made using standard microphone
cable with 3-pin XLR connectors. The AN-100CM provides power
to each microphone base. Up to 10 microphone bases can be used
with the AN-100CM.
Delegate 1 Delegate 2 Chairman Delegate 3
AN-100CM
A typical four base conference system is illustrated here
AN-100CM Powered Speaker
The AN-100CM can power up
to ten chairman and delegate
microphones. The AN-100CM can
be connected to either end of the
daisy chain. When connected
at an end, only one of the AN-
100CM’s XLR connectors will be
occupied.
The AN-100CM also includes a 3.5mm standard Line In allowing audio from
other sources to be played through the system. A ¼” Line Out is provided
for connection to a recorder or other device. The power switch, volume
control knob and all input and output connectors are on the control panel on
the rear of the speaker. The balanced XLR Line Out can be used to connect
another Anchor system for larger crowd coverage or to the house system.
CHM-100 and DEL-100 Microphone Bases
The microphone bases have a 3-pin XLR Input Jack and a 3-pin
XLR Output Jack. Daisy chain the microphones in any order with
the AN-100CM using the EX-4M (4 foot mic cable) or EX-25M
(25 foot mic cable). Each base has a 3-pin XLR Female electret
microphone jack
