OVERVIEW
The BEATRICE range of IP intercoms was designed for broadcast, theatre and
professional audio applications.
Our Beatrice intercom system utilises the reliable and proven DanteTM network audio
transmission protocol to allow real time distribution of uncompressed audio across
standard networks. As such the BEATRICE M1 is fully compatible with other
manufacturers’ equipment using the DanteTM protocol. The Beatrice M1 is fully
AES67 compatable.
All units in the system are designed to be very easy to use for the operator and
simple to setup for the technician. They includes all the basic functionality required
for small intercom systems and none of the overly complex installation requirements
normally associated with large systems.
The name Beatrice was chosen for our intercom range as she was the love of Dante
Alighieri:
‘Dante had fallen in love with another, Beatrice Portinari (known as Bice),
whom he first met when he was only nine.’ Source Wikipedia.

FEATURES
1. Volume/ Setup Knob
This multi-function knob provides several different functions depending upon
whether the user is in setup mode or not.
In normal operation, rotating the control increases / decreases the output to
radio system volume.
In Setup Mode:
The knob is used to enter menus and change parameters. This is done by
rotating the knob until the desired menu is seen on the display, then push the
knob and the menu will be accessed, rotate the knob again to select the
desired setting and press the knob in to select and save that setting.
2. Power On LED
The power on LED indicates that the device is powered on and the internal
microprocessor is working correctly.
3. Call Light
This bright yellow LED will flash to indicate an incoming call on that circuit.
Pressing the speak key will automatically cancel the call light.
4. Audio Presence LED
The red audio presence LED indicates when audio from the Dante network is
triggering the radio push-to-talk.
5. Radio interface
This 9-way D type connector is for connecting the unit to a radio base station
or walkie talkie receiver. Audio paths are sent and received, and an internal
relay controlled by the microcontroller is used to key PTT radio systems.
Refer to this section of the manual for wiring information.
6. USB Update
The USB connector is used for connected a PC to the device for loading
firmware updates.
7. Network RJ45
The Neutrik Ethercon network socket can connect to both Neutrik Ethercons
and standard RJ45 cables. It is a 100M/bit standard IP network connection.
The status LED flashes to show when data is being correctly communicated
with the attached switch.
