ESCRIPTION

The MCS 501 delegate microphone unit consists of one microphone
button in the cover plate with which the participant can switch on
and off the microphone, an illuminated red ring below the micro­phone capsule and a green LED above the microphone button
indicate the ready-to-talk status of the microphone.
In the Request-to-Talk mode, the microphone button enables the
Request-to-Talk function. The red LED above the microphone
button indicates the Request-to-Talk has been acknowledged.
When the microphone is activated by the operator at the PC,
media control system or chairman station with “Next” function,
the colour of the LED changes to green. If the microphone button
is pressed once again, the delegate himself/herself can clear the
request-to-talk.
The round edges of the unit allow flush table mounting.
