The "AUDIO-POD” System,
a
Microphone ON-Off Controller With
Integrated Stereo Headphone Amplifier
The ideal
solution for remote broadcasts, talk studio applications, Pod Casting,
or whenever you just need from one to four Mic/Headphone stations.
The Audio-Pod modules feature microphone On-Off control with an integrated
stereo headphone amplifier. Audio-Pod modules are available with or without
a high quality-low noise mic pre-amplifier with switchable phantom power
and is now available as an option on the "no pre-amp" model.
The system may be configured with up to four Audio-Pod modules and a Power
Supply. One Power Supply will power up to four Audio-Pod modules, and
any combination of Audio-Pod module types or options may be combined using
the same Power Supply. 10 foot power supply cables and trimpot adjustment
tool are supplied.
Table-top brackets for mounting the Audio-Pod module at an angle, and flush mounting bezels are also available for recessed mounting of the Audio-Pod modules.
- Optional Mic pre-amplifier
portion includes the following features:
• High quality, low noise mic preamp circuitry with rear panel variable gain control, output adjustable from mic to line level
• Phantom power (48VDC) with rear panel switch and LED indicator
• Precision metal film resistors used throughout audio chain for low noise
Microprocessor controlled Mic ON-OFF control portion includes the following features:
• Large LED differentially lighted Mic-On and Mic-Off long life silent reed type push buttons
• Cough-mute function integrated with Mic-On button (Operational with local control mode enabled only) - • Control buttons
may be ordered with front panel or top surface mounting (optional at
no additional cost)
• Local Mic On-Off feature may be disabled and controlled remotely
• Remote control of Mic On-Off function with a logic low or contact closure may be accomplished with either local control enabled or disabled
• LED Mic On status indication on the top of the enclosure for status check by control room operator or others (front panel button version only)
• XLR connectors for Mic in and out (balanced) as well as Eurostyle screw terminal termination of Mic out connection
• Solid State Relay output drive voltage provided, continuous or flashing, (option) to drive a DME Solid State Relay Pack or customers own solid state relay for ON-AIR lamps or for external LED indicator (multiple Audio-Pod SSR outputs may be connected in parallel to operate one SSR in the constant SSR output mode only).
The integrated stereo
headphone amplifier section includes the following features:
• Voltage Controlled
Amplifier (VCA) circuitry employed (no “dirty” pots)
• Power Op-Amp headphone output providing both the power and P-P
voltage required to drive headsets ranging from 8 to 600 ohms
• Rear panel output phase switch (0/180 degrees) to address bone
conduction cancellation issues often experienced by users
• ESD protected ¼” and 3.5mm stereo headphone output
jacks on the front panel
• Rear panel "maximum headphone gain set control" to restrict
the maximum headset output to prevent possible hearing damage and liability
issue avoidance
• Single ended L&R inputs on Eurostyle screw terminal connectors
and rear panel 3.5mm stereo jack for quick connect and disconnect
• Precision metal film resistors used throughout the audio chain
for low noise
