set up and easy to use. The main system components include:

H-2000 & H-2000S Headsets

Station-to-station connections are made using standard microphone cable with 3-pin XLR
connectors.
The PC-2000 Power Console has four output jacks to make a 4-headset system. You can
add more headsets/users to the system by using the B3-2000 Branch Box to expand and
reconfigure your system for use in almost any situation.
A typical 6-headset system using one B3-2000 is illustrated here:

NOTE: Make connections w/ standard mic cables.

4. Set the PC-2000 Power Switch to “on”

5. Adjust headset boom so microphone is close to mouth

6. Adjust listening level w/ Headset Volume Control on Belt Pack
