2. Safety Precautions
• Make all connections before plugging the unit into an AC
power outlet.
• Never connect or disconnect cables or microphone units
with the system turned on. Always turn off the system
before plugging or unplugging microphone units or
cables so as not to damage the system.
• Do not leave the devices in places with high temperatures
or high humidity.
• Do not handle the power cord with wet hands.
• Keep the devices away from re and heat sources.
• Keep the system out of the reach of children.
• The CU must be connected to ground via the power cable
for safety reasons and to ensure the audio performance of
the system.
• Do not open the CU and/or delegate/chairman units. There
are no user serviceable parts inside.
• Before using this product with a pacemaker or other
medical device, consult your physician or the
manufacturer of your pacemaker or other medical device.
• Using this product at a loud volume or over a prolonged
period of time can lead to permanent hearing damage.
• Reduce the volume to its lowest setting before use.
• When using a mobile phone near this product, noise may
be produced, but this is not a malfunction. Keep mobile
phones as far away as possible from the product.
• To clean, be sure to rst switch off and unplug the CU

3. Features
The innovative Enersound CS-300 Conference and
Discussion System is equipped with a high-quality ECM
capsule, intelligent automatic mixing technology and
integrated acoustic and mechanical design, providing a
turn-key solution and delivering consistently natural,
feedback-free audio performance in any environment.
The CS-300 Conference and Discussion System is ideal for
discussions and meetings of up to 150 people.
A CS-300 Conference and Discussion System consists of:
• (1) Control and power supply unit (CU)
• Maximum of (50) delegate or chairman units
• Peripheral audio and/or telecommunication equipment
The CU (Control Unit) is the core of the discussion system,
which controls the microphones of the chairman and
delegate units as well as the other audio input and output. It
also supplies the power for up to 50 delegate and chairman
units.
The delegate unit enables attendees to participate in a
discussion by speaking through a microphone controlled
by a microphone ON/OFF push-button and listening to the
discussion through the internal loudspeaker or external
headphone.
The chairman unit not only provides the same function
as the delegate unit, but also supports the addition of a
“priority button,” which enables the chairman to control
the discussion by temporarily or permanently overriding
and deactivating all active delegate units.

connected number of units per trunk socket is 25. (50
per control unit). Maximum total cable length per trunk
should not exceed 100 meters including the 2 m cables
attached to each unit.
5.2 Connecting up to 150 Units
The CS-300 Conference and Discussion System can be used
with up to 150 units by adding a maximum of 2 additional

Caution: Always use the microphone with
balanced output. The microphone XLR input
provides a 12V phantom power supply.
5.4 Connecting a Wireless Microphone
1) Connect a wireless receiver to microphone XLR input
on CU.
2) Adjust the sensitivity by using gain control 1.
Caution: Always make sure that any device connected
to the XLR microphone input on the control unit can
handle 12V phantom power. Check user manual or
contact manufacturer of equipment to be connected.

5.6 Connecting a PASystem or Other External
Equipment
1) Connect audio sources to the line input using an RCA
cable.
2) Connect a PA system or other devices to the line output
using an RCA cable. Caution: Never connect the control
unit to a microphone input on another device with
phantom power since this can damage the control unit.
For example, if you need to connect the line output on
the CU to the sound mixer of a PA system, always use an
RCA male to ¼ inch plug (6.3 mm plug) or an RCA to
RCA cable to connect into a line input on the mixer. Do
not connect into the microphone input on the mixer since
it may have phantom power activated.
