RIEDEL Performer-32 User Manual

PERFORMER 32
Intercom/Stage Management System for Theatre & Events

Performer 32 is a powerful and cost-effective digital intercom Matrix/
Stage Management system, which is aligned for the requirements
of opera houses, theaters as well as sports- and cultural events. The
system is based on a modular concept and can be adapted to the
individual requirements of the respective venue.

The successor of the legendary Riedel Compact System is available in
two sizes and can be modularly equipped with slot cards. Both versions
can realize 32 x 32 user matrices. In addition to the client cards the
compact systems also offer up to 16 (Performer 32 +16) respectively 80
(Performer 32 +80) relay switches for the control of intermission signs,
light signals, special effects and curtains.

Performer 32 systems are the ideal integration platform for diverse
audio and communications sources. Versatile interface solutions allow
seamless integration of digital and analogue party lines, radios, audio
routers, telephones as well as other analogue and digital systems.
Combined with the digital beltpack system C3/C44, the Performer line for

the  rst time offers a completely integrated solution for the combination

of matrix systems and conventional party-line applications. The

con guration of the party-lines is realized with the same con guration

software and is therefore totally integrated into the matrix environment.
