VERIFACT DVGC
AUDIO MONITORING SYSTEM
INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
The Verifact DVGC is an omni-directional, low
®
impedance, electret condenser microphone with built-in preamp and automatic gain control. It can pick up normal sounds approximately 25 ft. away, or within a 50 ft. diameter circle. It’s built-in limiter prevents the output signal to be overdriven thus minimizing distortion. Verifact D-V-AGC produces line level output (0 dB)
®
and can be located up to 1,000’ from the Louroe base station. The microphone has a potentiometer to adjust the output gain up to +10dB. It is primarily designed for flush mounting to a wall. It has 16 Ga stainless steel face plate and hooded audio port for providing protection to the microphone. Fits into a standard single gang electrical box (not included). The Verifact DVGC
®
is compatible with all Louroe Audio Base Stations or Louroe Audio Interface Adapters.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
The Verifact DVGC is design to be installed in a single gang electrical box for flush or surface mounting to a wall or ceiling. It should be positioned 3 to 6 ft from the area of desired coverage. Ceiling heights in excess of 10 ft should be avoided.
MICROPHONE CONNECTION:
A 3-pin terminal block is located on the back of the microphone housing, marked A, B, C.
If using West Penn 452 or equivalent with same color code, connect:
CONNECTING VERIFACT DVGC MICROPHONE TO A LOUROE BASE STATION OR AUDIO INTERFACE ADAPTER
All Louroe audio base stations and Interface Adapters have corresponding terminal blocks marked A, B, C. Connect other end of cable as follows:
®
A represents +12 Vdc Power B represents Audio Output C represents Ground
1. Red wire (12 Vdc) connects to terminal A of microphone terminal block
2. Black wire (audio out) connects to terminal B of microphone terminal block
3. Bare wire (ground) connects to terminal C of microphone terminal block
®
1. Red wire from microphone connects to pin A of Base Station (12Vdc)
2. Black wire from microphone connects to pin B of Base Station (Audio Output)
3. Bare wire from microphone connects to pin C of Base Station (Ground)
CONNECTING VERIFACT DVGC MICROPHONE TO OTHER AUDIO DEVICES.
®
If a Louroe audio base station is not used and microphone is being connected directly to another receiver from other manufacturers, 12 Vdc power must be applied to terminals A and C. (A is positive, C is negative). Terminals B and C of microphone (C is common) go to the “Audio In” or “Line in” of the audio source. We recommend shielded cable connections for terminal B and C (See last page for interconnection diagram)
INSTALLATION TIP: If area to be monitored for audio is noisy or has background disturbances, the microphone should be positioned close to the subject (4’ - 8’) if possible. Also, the microphone output can be lowered by adjusting the gain control potentiometer. Rotating clockwise will increase the gain; counterclockwise decreases the gain. The factory setting is 0dB output.
INSTALLATION TIPS
1. Use 2 Cond 22AWG overall shielded audio cable only. West Penn 452, Belden 8451 or equivalent. UNSHIELDED CABLE IS NOT SATISFACTORY FOR SOUND SYSTEMS.
2. When used at a cash register checkout, microphone should be installed closer to the customer rather than the cash
register, as the drawer sound could dominate the recording. It should be installed closest to the
area to be monitored and documented.
3. Avoid installing microphone near air vents, air conditioners, fans and other equipment that generate high sound and air pressure.
4. If microphone is installed in a police interview room, room should be conditioned with any type of carpeting, acoustical
ceiling tiles, acoustical foam, etc. to reduce echo. This will enhance the quality of live and recorded audio.
5. The APR-1 and microphone should have a barrier or solid wall between them in order to avoid audio feedback, especially when they are in close proximity to each other. If no barrier, microphone should be at least 25’
from APR-1 to avoid acoustical feedback.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
MICROPHONE GAIN ADJUSTMENT
The microphone has an audio output gain potentiometer. Microphone is always shipped with a 0dB output. If it’s necessary to change the gain of the microphone, insert a small screwdriver into the potentiometer rotate clockwise to increase or counterclockwise to decrease. Maximum gain is +10dB
