SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
General
Arthur Holm DynamicX2Talk is a motorised retractable monitor that
includes an independent lift for gooseneck microphones. The system
provides silent, reliable and harmonic movements using a patented
solution with just one engine. The variable speed system raises, lowers
and tilts the monitor 20° to ensure the best ergonomics, viewing angle
and visibility. The integrated independent lift system for microphones
provides a rounded coverlid that makes the microphone disappear
within the desk surface and also provides a pleasant light to indicate
its status.
A protective and patented lighting ring safely stores the microphones,
protecting them, making meeting and conference spaces more exible
and versatile.
This system has 2 different working modes: PA and Conference. In PA
mode a push button activates and de-activates the microphone while
the LED ring will show the status changing from red to green. The system
will silence the microphone when retracting. In Conference mode, the
microphone will be always active.
Highlights
• Aluminium retractable monitor with an independent microphone lift
• Automatic 20° monitor tilt angle: patented single engine for up/down
and tilt
• Microphone lift compatible with 3 pin XLR 500 mm “gooseneck”
microphones
• Patented 360° LED lighting ring to indicate microphone status
• AH-AMMC Auto mechanical movement calibration
• Wireless connectivity for setup and control
• PA and Conference working modes
• Stainless steel cover plate
