STEGOS
Digital Wireless Boundary Microphone Set
APPLICATIONS
The wireless Stegos system consists of receiver and boundary
microphone and has been specially developed for the use with video
conference systems. In neighbouring rooms a maximum of three
Stegos systems can simultaneously be operated independing from
each other.
The receiver provides three different connections for video
conference systems: 3-pin Phoenix terminal strip, mini jack (3.5 mm)
and 3-pin XLR. The individual microphone signals can be picked up
via a multipin Phoenix terminal strip. An RS 232 interface and USB
connector are provided for the data exchange with media control
systems or PC. The channels LEDs indicate which channel is
occupied (red) and which channel is available (green).
With a PC connected to the receiver the volume of the individual
microphones and the operating modes On/Off or Push-To-Mute can
be selected with the supplied, user-friendly Stegos software.
For internal agreements the function “Global Mute” allows muting
all microphones simultaneously by pressing the button of just one
microphone. The battery status of the microphones is also
displayed. The individual channel settings are stored when the
receiver is turned off.
A maximum of four boundary microphones can be operated with
one receiver. The boundary microphone provides a semi-cardioid
polar pattern with a high gain before feedback. The microphone is
powered via integrated rechargeable NiMH batteries. The operating
time is not less than 14 hours. The microphone can be recharged
or permanently operated via a power supply unit connected to the
DC connector. The maximum charging time is 2 hours. An LED
on the rear of the microphone indicates the battery and charging
status.

ARCHITECT’SSPECIFICATIONS
The wireless digital acoustical boundary microphone with semi-
cardioid polar pattern shall operate with the 4-channel Stegos RS
receiver in the world-wide approved 2.4 GHz ISM band. 128-bit
encrypted, bi-directional data transmission for remote management
via the Stegos software or media control system and status request
in the inteference- and bug-proof Direct Sequence Spread
Spectrum (DSSS) shall be provided. The transceiver antennae
(antenna diversity) shall be integrated in a high-quality plastic
housing with black Softtouch®finish and the microphone grille shall
be champagne-coloured. The device shall provide 100% immunitiy
against interference from mobile devices such as mobile phones,
PDAs or MDAs (Radio Frequency Interference RFI)due to the
patented Scudio™technology. The button shall illuminate with
encoding for microphone open / muted and with insufficient
connection to the Stegos RS receiver. Depending on the system
setup the button shall allow the toggle or Push-to-Mute operation
of the microphone. The Global Mute function shall allow to mute
and reactivate decentrally all microphones connected to the receiver
from each microphone and power on / power off of the micro-
phone in the toggle-mute operation. The DC socket on the rear
shall be used for processor-controlled charging of the integrated
NiMH rechargeable battery pack within 2 hours at maximum
without memory effect or alternatively for permanent operation
with a charging power supply unit. Neighbouring two-colour LEDs
with endcoding shall indicate Stegos TB is turned on (permanent
green) with a minimun operating time of 14 hours, a status
message (flashing green) when the minimum charge is too low,
switched off in normal charging operation (flashing slowly) or fully
charged (permanent red) or error when the charging electronics
is initialised (flashing fast). It shall be indicated when an active
charging power supply unit is connected in the battery operation of
the microphone and switched over to charging operation (normal
charging or trickle charging). On the rear a flush button shall be
provided for Power off in the Push-To-Mute operation and when
putting the microphone into the Stegos CB charger (not yet available).
The microphone shall be supplied with a single charging power
supply unit. The microphone shall be turned off manually via the
Power off button, centrally via the Stegos software / media control
system or automatically after three minutes when the connection to
the Stegos RS receiver is not recognised. The frequency range of
the microphone shall be 20Hz - 12kHz, the dynamic range shall be
68dB (A-weighted) and the max. sound pressure level at 1kHz shall
be 100dB SPL. The dimensions (L x W x H) shall be approximately
138 x 76 x 38 mm (5.4 x 3 x 1.5 in). The weight shall be approxi-
mately 410 g (0.9 lbs).
Manufacturer: beyerdynamic GmbH & Co.KG
Type: Stegos TB
The receiver shall be available for a maximum of 4 wireless digital
Stegos TB acoustical boundary microphones with 128bit encrypted,
bi-directional data transmission in the Direct Sequence Spread

Support shall be provided for Remote Management (status request,
turn on or mute individually or all microphones with Global Mute)
of the connected microphones via the supplied Stegos software or
a serial connected media control system. The supplied audio cable
shall allow Plug & Play operation with all standard video conferencing
system with Mix Signal via Phoenix terminals, male XLR connector
or mini jack socket (3.5 mm). The Phoenix terminal shall allow
picking off the individual audio signals per channel for processing
them e.g. with echo cancellation with permanent assignment of
microphones to the appropriate output per session. The device shall
provide 2x N(HF) sockets to connect a Rx and a Rx/Tx antenna
directly or remote with diversity for high operation and transmission
reliability with different RF requirements e.g. different room sizes
with a range of 100m (328 ft) between Stegos RS and Stegos TB.
A serial RS 232 interface shall be provided for servicing or the
connection of Crestron®, AMX®or other media control systems and
remote management via the free protocol with individual settings
for all system parameters. An IEC socket with replaceable connecting
cable shall be provided for world-wide use with different power
outlets with 100 – 240VAC, 50/60Hz. The device shall provide
settings and indication of the system parameters on/off, channel
availability and status, allocation of the RF frequency band low, mid
or high (WLAN channel 1.6 or 11) and audio channel monitoring
per channel or mix signal with volume control in advance or during
the operation. A standard USB socket of type B shall be provided for
a fast and simple plug & play connection to a PC with Windows®
operating system (Windows®2000 or higher) for easy setup of all
system parameters, for control and status request of the connected
microphones. The stand-alone operation of the receiver shall be
possible permanently. Important settings such as Global Mute, the
decentral simultaneous release / mute of all microphone unit via
the button of any microphone or channel or mix level shall be
stored when the device is turned off. The dimensions shall be 19",
1 U (Lx W x H: 238 x 450 x 44 mm / 9.4 x 17.7 x 1.7 in). Weight:
2.5 kg (5.5 lbs).
