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 Dante® network audio
transmission protocol to allow real time distribution of uncompressed audio across
standard networks. As such the BEATRICE 16 channel units are also fully compatible
with other manufacturers’ equipment using the Dante® protocol. The Beatrice R16 is
also 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 Beatrice R16 provides 16 intercom circuits on and off the AoIP network. It also has 2
analogue inputs & outputs to the network that can be routed to allow connectivity to
traditional 4-wire circuits. Four AoIP IFB circuits are provided to allow versatility of
system setup.
A front panel built in microphone and loudspeaker are provided, or alternatively, an
external microphone (Gooseneck or headset) can be connected to the front panel XLR
and headphones or external loudspeakers can also be used.
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.
