2. Operation
How to connect the control unit
• Verify that the voltage rating of the power supply unit matches that of the AC mains outlet you are
to use. Caution: If you connect the unit to the wrong voltage you may seriously damage it.
• Connect the supplied power supply unit to the DC connection and the mains. The Orbis CU
control unit has no separate on-off switch and will be in the mode in which it had been when it was
disconnected. The corona displays the mode:
Red = standby mode
White = online mode
Flashing white = booting
• If the control unit is in the standby mode, briefly press the rotary encoder on the front. The
control unit will switch to the online mode and the corona , the beyerdynamic logo and the “Orbis”
lettering will illuminate white. The current menu settings will be displayed for a few seconds as well.
• To switch the control unit to the standby mode press the rotary encoder for approx. 5 seconds.
The corona will illuminate red.
• When required, connect the balanced XLR or unbalanced RCA phono output to the balanced or
unbalanced output of a mixer amplifier or mixing console. Adjust the volume via the amplifier or
mixing console.
• The Orbis conference system is configured via the rotary encoder on the front of the Orbis control
unit. By pressing and turning you can enter the individual menus to select and store settings by
pressing and turning as well.
• The selected menu will flash white. By turning the rotary encoder you can select a setting within
the menu and store it by pressing the rotary encoder. The selected setting will illuminate white.
• The menu settings are permanently stored in the control unit even when the Orbis CU control unit
is disconnected from the mains.

• Press the lateral flaps of the cable cover inwards and remove the cable cover .
• Connect the connecting cables to the In/Out sockets .

Connection of microphone units without redundancy
• The microphone units/system units are connected in one or two lines to the control unit. As cables
use standard CAT5e cables (S/UTP, min. AWG 26 diameter or better). The audio transmission,
power supply and control is made via one cable.
• At maximum you can connect 50 microphone units/system units per line so that a total of 100
microphone units is available.
Note: The max. number of microphone units also depends upon the cable type and cable length so
that the actual number of microphone units to be operated might be less than 50 or 100.
CAUTION: When using this kind of connection, there is no redundancy, i.e. if one microphone
unit/system unit fails, the whole line fails after the interruption, but the microphone units/system
units will still work before the interruption.

Cable outlet downwards
• If the connecting cables of the Orbis MU 23/21
microphone unit are to be routed downwards,
insert the sliding element into the back of
the microphone unit.
Cable outlet backwards
• If the connecting cables of the Orbis MU 23/21
microphone unit are to be routed backwards,
insert the sliding element into the cable
cover .

Connection of microphone units with redundancy
• For maximum reliability of the system, the microphone units/system units are connected in a ring
to the control unit. As cables use standard CAT5e cables (S/UTP, min. AWG 26 diameter or better).
• At maximum you can connect 50 microphone units/system units. The big advantage of this
connection is the present redundancy, i.e. should a cable fault occur at one side of the microphone
unit/ system unit, the unit will not fail, as it is still supplied from the cable on the other side. The
cable concerned or the defective microphone unit/system unit can be replaced during operation
without failing all other microphone units/system units.

3. Important operating instructions
How to connect the gooseneck microphone
For the connection to the microphone unit, there are gooseneck microphones with an LED available.
• Take the gooseneck microphone by the shaft, put it into the appropriate socket and press the shaft
downwards until it locks in place.
• If you want to remove the gooseneck microphone, press the opening for unlocking with the supplied
tool or a similar thin tool. Remove the gooseneck microphone by taking it by the shaft and pulling.
Switching on
• The microphone is switched on by pressing the microphone button. Depending on the operating
mode, the microphone button will illuminate green (normal operating mode) or red (request-tospeak mode).
• When the microphone is active, the level of the loudspeaker of the microphone unit will automatically be reduced to avoid feedback.
Operating modes
The different operating modes such as “Normal”, “FiFo” or “Voice controlled” are adjusted on the
Orbis CU control unit for all microphone units. The standard operating mode is “Normal”.
Buttons and functions of the chairman microphone unit
In addition to the microphone button, the chairman microphone unit is provided with a clear button
and programmable function button.
Clear button: By pressing the clear button all active delegate microphone units are cleared. Afterwards the delegates can turn on their microphone again.
Function button: Depending on the configuration via the Orbis CU control unit the function button has
the function “Normal” or “Mute” or “Function” when configured via an external media control system.
Maintenance
• Only clean the devices with a slightly damp or dry cloth. Never use solvents as these damage the
surface.
Warning!
– When mounting or removing the gooseneck microphone hold it at the bottom
end only. Never hold it at the gooseneck or microphone head! You could
damage the gooseneck microphone and by doing so you will invalidate the
guarantee.
– To align the gooseneck microphone and to avoid overstretching as well as
premature wear and tear, please note that the gooseneck must not be bent
further than a maximum angle of 90°.
