With its optional multiple speaker configurations and accessories, the Championship Start is
a powerful start system.
□Drives speakers mounted under the starting blocks for an extremely consistent
start tone across all lanes.
□Drives Speedlights across the front of relay judging platforms mounted on starting
blocks. Speedlights level the playing field for athletes who are deaf or hard of
hearing. They offer all athletes a visual cue, and experience practicing with the
type of start system used at championship competitions.
□Supports two wired microphones.
□Supports an underwater speaker for underwater recall and training options.
There are two speaker circuits associated with the Championship Start System. The main
speaker circuit includes the speakers mounted under the starting blocks, and any
underwater speaker(s). There is no volume adjustment for the start tone from these
speakers.
The auxiliary speaker circuit includes an additional speaker associated with the
Championship Start System. For example, a speaker you have mounted on the backstroke
pole, or a speaker mounted on the side of the Champ Start is on this circuit. The volume
control knob (labeled AUX SPKR) for this circuit adjusts the volume of the start tone from
the auxiliary speaker.
For both speaker circuits, the individual volume controls for each microphone are used to
adjust the volume of that microphone’s output at all speakers.
The Championship Start can serve as a limited public address system, allowing you to make
announcements to your swimmers at practice and to the swimmers and spectators at a
meet.
Mounting Options
Place the Championship Start module on a tabletop, mount it on the wall with the wall mount
kit, or use the tripod Model TR-3. Do not use a standard camera tripod.
