Description
The DC 5900 F is a flushmount discussion unit for the DIS DDS 5900 Digital
Discussion System. It enables participants to address and monitor others in the dis-
cussion, while mounting unobtrusively onto the surface. The DC 5900 F is configu-
rable as a chairman or delegate.
The modular design of the DC 5900 F allows component variations to expand or
simplify the system. A loudspeaker is available for listening to the discussion, while
a headphone output provides two language translation channels. Expanded mi-
crophone options offer greater flexibility and deliver superior audio performance.
Touch-button controls automatically configure as chairman or delegate, according to
the attached overlay.

Component Variations
The DC 5900 F is a system of modular
components that can be expanded or
simplified once the base unit has been
installed. The following is a description
of each component:
① Base

DC 5900 F base to assemble the
discussion unit. Two RJ-45 jacks
on the bottom provide power,
audio, and control across a chain of
discussion units.
② Front plate
The front plate includes the touch-
button controls. Two models are
available:
◦FP 5921 F: speech only
◦FP 5981 F: speech with
language interpretation
monitoring
③ Loudspeaker
The optional LS 5900 F loudspeaker
provides sound reinforcement of the
discussion.

The microphone enables
participants to address the floor and
is available in a variety of models:
◦GM 59xx
◦GM 6xxx
◦Shure MX4xxRLP (requires AC
5901 XLR/Microflex adapter)
⑤ Touch-button overlays
The overlay attaches to the front
plate and automatically configures
the touch-button controls. Each

available for participants that do not
require any controls.
