Orbis MU 21
DESCRIPTION
The Orbis MU 21 delegate microphone unit is equipped with one
microphone button in the housing, with which the participant can
turn the microphone on or off. The ready-to-speak status of the
microphone is displayed by the red LED on the gooseneck microphone and the green backlit microphone button.
Depending on the configuration of the Orbis CU control unit one of
the following operating modes is possible:
Normal
Each participant can turn on his/her microphone until the maximum
number of open microphones is achieved.
FiFo
Each participant can turn on his/her microphone. If the selected
number of open microphones (NOM) is exceeded, the microphone
of the participant who turned on his/her microphone first is turned
off when another participant turns on his/her microphone.
Voice-controlled Activation
The microphone is automatically turned on when the participant
speaks into it, until the number of open microphones is achieved.
The microphone unit’s design follows the UN convention on the
rights of persons with disabilities. It includes silicone buttons with
tactile feedback and Braille marking. A headphone or induction loop
for people with a hearing aid can be connected to the mini jack
output. The volume of the headphone is adjusted with a separate
control. Furthermore, by pressing the volume control the participant
can toggle between two channels (e.g. original and 1 AUX-IN e.g.
foreign language channel).
The integrated loudspeaker reproduces the audio signal of the
whole conference system. When the participant turns on the
microphone, the loudspeaker is automatically turned off to avoid
feedback.
The microphone units are connected in a daisy chain to the Orbis CU
control unit, i.e. the first microphone unit is connected to the
control unit, the second microphone unit is connected to the first,
the third microphone unit to the second and so on. For connection
standard Cat5e cables (S/UTP, AWG 26 or better) are used. Thus,
one cable ensures the audio transmission, power supply and control.
The microphone units are very economical and use 1 watt at maximum in operation at maximum volume.
Connection to a control unit without redundancy
A maximum of 50 microphones can be connected to one of the
two lines of the Orbis CU control unit, i.e. a total of 100 microphone units can be operated with one Orbis CU control unit.
Connection to a control unit with redundancy
A maximum of 50 microphone units is connected in a ring to the
Orbis CU control unit, i.e. the last microphone unit is connected to
the previous microphone unit and the control unit. The redundancy
provides maximum reliablility. Should a defect in a cable occur at
one side of the microphone unit, the microphone unit will not fail
to operate, because it will still be supplied via the cable from the
other side. The cable in question or a defect microphone unit as
well can be replaced during operation without causing any
problems with the other microphone units.
The threads at the bottom of the microphone unit allow the unit to
be attached to a tabletop by using screws. In this way the microphone unit is protected against theft.
