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 P1 & P2 units are also fully compatible
with other manufacturers’ equipment using the DanteTM protocol. The Beatrice P1 &
P2 are also both AES67 compliant.
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.

P1 FRONT PANEL LAYOUT
1. Handset
The handset connects to the device via the 4P4C RJ connector on the front of
the device. Please refer to the end of the manual for wiring information.
When the handset is picked up the microphone audio is sent to the Dante
network and muted when placed back. Picking the handset up will stop the
device ringing when receiving a call. On the P2 you can receive calls from
both channels when talking to a channel.
2. Incoming call LED
The Call LED indicates the presence of an incoming audio from the Dante
network by flashing when the audio goes above a threshold of -30dBFS. The
Call LED will flash for a few seconds upon receiving a call.
3. Call switch
This switch is used to send a call to the network output. Double press to send
the call. An audible beep will sound from the sounder when a call is sent.
On the P2, these switches can be toggled to choose which or both Dante
channels you wish to speak to. The switch will illuminate to show that you are
talking to that channel.
4. Present LED
This LED will illuminate to show audio presence from the Dante network.
