DESCRIPTION

The Quinta TH handheld transmitter is provided with a three­ coloured backlit microphone button containing a braille inscription
to turn the microphone on or off. The transmitter can be combined
with three top microphone heads to ensure superior flexibility for
different applications.

With the Automatic Channel Allocation function, the transmitting
channels of the microphone units / handeheld transmitters are
allocated automatically. When the microphone button is pressed in
the manual operating mode, the request-to-talk is received by the
control unit (a possible external dual colour LED will illuminate red).
The control unit checks which of the available receiving channels is
free, then the control unit informs the microphone unit / handheld
transmitter which channel it should use for transmitting. When the
channel of the microphone unit / handheld transmitter is set and
checked by the control unit, the microphone is switched on. The
ready-to-talk status of the microphone is also indicated by the green
lighting microphone button. In the Request-to-Talk-mode of the
discussion system the request-to-talk is received, but the
microphone is not switched on. The red lighting microphone button
indicates that the request-to-talk has been received. The micro­phone is switched on by the operator at the PC by using the
“Quinta Conference” software or a media control system. When
the microphone button is pressed once again, the delegate clears
his/her request-to-talk.

Depending on the configuration with the “Quinta Conference”
software the following operating modes are available:
Override: the first microphone is switched off, when the maximum
number of active microphones is exceeded.
Voice activation: the microphone is switched on, when someone
speaks into it.
Push-To-Talk: the microphone button is held down, while the
participant is speaking.

The parameters of the microphone unit are adjusted via PC by using
the “Quinta Conference” software. The parameters are adjusted
for all microphone units and handheld transmitters.

All microphone units and handheld transmitters have an individual
address. Therefore, microphone units and handheld transmitters can
be rented or purchased at any time to complement an existing
system. In the rental business existing systems can be complemented
in this way.

The DSSS transmission offers high immunity against unauthorised
listening with a 128-bit encryption. In addition to this, the conference
system including the appropriate microphone units can be protected
with PIN code (24-bit). A microphone unit that does not have the
correct PIN code will be identified by the control unit and switched
off immediately.

The operating time of the transmitter is approx. 10 hours with two
AA alkaline batteries or the supplied rechargeable batteries,
depending on the participation in the discussion. When the
remaining operating time is less than 1 hour, the LED on the bottom
of the transmitter starts flashing. When using rechargeable
batteries, the charging time for a completely empty rechargeable
battery is approx. 2.5 hours by using the optional WA-CD charger.
Depending on the use of the handheld transmitter, the charging
time can be less.

The microphone unit is switched on by briefly pressing the micro­phone button once. There are various ways to switch off the
microphone unit:

1. Press the microphone button for 3 seconds.

2. Press the standby button of the Quinta CU control unit for

3 seconds to switch off all activated microphone units.

3. Switch off all microphone units via an RS 232 or TCP/IP

command from the PC or media control system.

4. Switch off the control unit; after approx. 3 minutes the micro-

phone unit will be switched off.

MICROPHONE HEADS

TG V50w

• Dynamic microphone head

• Cardioid polar pattern

• Very wide pick-up area

• High gain before feedback

The dynamic TGV 50 W is an excellent microphone head for live vocals both on stage and in
rehearsal rooms. The TGV 50 W features a balanced, powerful and natural sound, a very wide
pick-up area due to a cardioid polar pattern and a high gain before feedback.

TG V56w

• Condenser microphone head

• Cardioid polar pattern

• Discreet treble boost

• High gain before feedback

The TGV 56 W microphone head provides many opportunities for singing on stage and in
rehearsal rooms. With the typical fine resolution of condenser microphones it is suitable for
the most diverse requirements and provides room for different types of vocal and musical
style. The discreet treble boost ensures a very transparent signal and the complex decoupling
of the capsule minimises handling noise.

TG V50w

TG V56w

TG V96w

• Condenser microphone head

• Cardioid polar pattern

• Natural reproduction

• High gain before feedback

The true condenser microphone head features an impressive natural sound. It provides a
subtle treble boost for an open, fine and unobtrusive sound. The 5-layer pop filter made of
metal mesh wire with different mesh size and a sintered plate is easy to clean and ensures an
optimal suppression of plosives as well as a significant improvement in rear attenuation.
