• Analogue audio input for external signals or digital via AVB

• Operating modes Conference Mode:
– Manually - each participant can turn his or her

microphone on/off

– Voice Activation (not available when using the Quinta TB

boundary microphone) - once someone speaks into the
microphone, it is turned on

– Override - when a microphone is activated, the unit that

was activated beforehand is turned off

– Push-To-Talk - the participant must press the microphone

button as long as he/she speaks

• Operating modes Microphone Mode:
– Push-To-Mute - as long as the participant keeps the

microphone button pressed, the microphone is muted

– Toggle Mute: When briefly pressing the microphone button

for the first time, the microphone is muted; when the
microphone button is pressed once more, the microphone is
open again

– Global Mute: If this function is activated, the selected mute

function refers to all microphones

Quinta RS

DESCRIPTION

The Quinta RS control unit is used to control a maximum of
4 wireless microphones in the microphone mode and up to
20 wireless microphone units with loudspeakers in the conference
mode.
Depending on the settings and selected operating mode up to
4 microphone units can be turned on simultaneously (e.g. 3 delegate
and 1 chairman microphone unit). There is a constant status inquiry,
monitoring or control due to the data connection to the microphone
units. Individual microphone units can be activated via the RS 232
serial interface. The complete discussion system can be switched off
via a control command or by pressing the “Stand-by” button on
the front. The 4 LEDs on the front indicate the assigned transmission
channels of the microphones. For maximum security the control unit
can be protected with a PIN code accepting only microphone units
that have the correct PIN code. In addition to this, the radio
transmission is digitally encrypted.
The Quinta system meets the regulations of the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) and can be integrated
inot existing or new building computer networks that comply
IEEE 802.1 IT standard (AVB). For a safe wireless transmission there
are three frequency bands available: 2.4 / 5.2 / 5.8 GHz. The
switching of the channels is either automatically or manually.
The protection against unauthorised listening is guaranteed by using
128-bit encryption and a 24-bit PIN-code.
The integrated Web server allows configuring the control unit with
a Smartphone, tablet PC or PC via USB, LAN, WLAN.
The system can be connected to a media control system via the
RS 232 interface. This allows a particularly convenient operation
and provides different status indicators e.g. the battery status.
Furthermore, the Quinta system can be integrated into tele and video
conferences.

Conference mode:

• Typically, a large number of microphone units (Quinta CU: up to
150 / Quinta RS: up to 20) are linked to one control unit.

• Up to 4 participants can speak simultaneously.

• In the normal mode of the conference mode, the microphone is
deactivated after the microphone units have been turned on.
When pressing the microphone button at one of the microphone
units, a request is sent to the control unit, the control unit releases
a channel and the microphone is activated.

• In the conference mode, certain rules can also be used to allocate
microphones (e.g. NOM, FiFo, request-to-speak mode, voice
activation).

Microphone mode:

• New operating mode, which is based on a “classic” multi- channel
radio microphone receiver.

• Up to 4 microphones can be used simultaneously.

• These 4 microphones have a permanent audio connection with
the control unit and, if desired, are assigned to a specific audio
channel and an analogue or digital audio output.

• The microphones are activated immediately after the microphone
unit has been turned on (it can be spoken into immediately) and,
if requested, they are muted by operating the microphone
button. Various options are available for this: Global Mute, Push­to-Mute, Toggle Mute.

• If necessary, the number of microphones used can be extended
by cascading several control units.

The conference and microphone mode can be used with both
Quinta CU and Quinta RS.
