Digital Discussion Control Unit
Order # 472.522
1 of 3

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 (e.g. 3 delegates and 1 chairman) and 5 audio
channels can be transmitted to the microphone units. With
additional printed circuit boards up to 7 microphone units 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 the same PIN code. 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.

ARCHITECT’SSPECIFICATIONS
Central control unit of a wireless digital discussion system. Specific
DSSS modulation (Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum) ensures a high
noise immunity in the 2.4 GHz frequency band world-wide
approved. An unlimited number of microphone units can be
controlled. 16 bi-directional data channels allow the use of max. 7
audio-voice channels and 8 audio-aural channels (with CA 2450).
As a standard 4 microphone units can be switched on simultaneously.
Automatic frequency allocation. The microphone units can be
extended with additional PCB’s. Diversity technology ensures a high
transmission safety. Operation modes: manual: each participant can
switch his microphone on or off; request-to-talk: the microphone is
released via an operator at a PC, media control system or a micro-
phone unit with function button; voice-controlled allocation: as
soon as someone speaks into the microphone it is switched on;
override: when a microphone is activated, the first one will be
switched off. The complete system can be switched off with the
stand-by button on the front or via a control command of the
serial interface or the IPX network connection. RS 232 serial inter-
face for system configuration, PC or media control system. Audio
input for external signals. PCB available for individual audio output
per voice channel and audio input per aural channel; AES/EBU
digital input and output; S/PDF input and output. All connections on
the rear are plug-in types: audio master output (3-pin XLR,
balanced, RCA, unbalanced), audio input (3-pin XLR balanced, RCA,
unbalanced), antenna input A/B and antenna output (N-RF), as an
option with individual input and output (25-pin Sub-D), Tascam
standard), AES/EBU Digital input and output (3-pin XLR balanced),
S/PDF Digital input and output (RCA unbalanced). 19" desktop
housing, 2 HU, ventilation louvres on top and on bottom.
Dimensions (WxHxD) 440x88x310mm.
