SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
General
DynamicTalkH allows the microphone to be bended while returning
automatically to its original, concealled horizontal position.
DynamicTalkH is a horizontal lift for gooseneck microphones specially
developed to optimise table space. It ensures comfort and space
enough for legs. Silent, remotely controllable and elegant, DynamicTalkH
is reliable and simple to install. Veneering is also available to match
surface nish of the table.
The microphone can be bended while returning automatically to its
original horizontal position. DynamicTalkH not only cleverly conceals the
microphone within the desk, but also provides an interior light that goes
from red to green to indicate its status. Microphones are stored safely,
improving the exibility of meeting spaces and leaving tables free for
other purposes.
DynamicTalkH has 2 different working modes (PA and Conference) and
can be remotely controlled and diagnosed through the AHnet protocol
(RS-422).
Highlights
• Adapts to 40 cm length microphones
• Low space required underneath the table
• Dynamic LED to indicate microphone’s status
