Listen-Only Keypanel

The LKP-957 is a listen-only keypanel, designed for monitoring audio sources present in RTS Digital Matrix products, including
ADAM, ADAM-CS, Zeus, and CS-9500/9600-9700 systems. It has an internal speaker, front panel volume control, and provides
rear connectors for headset and external speaker.

The LKP-957 is well suited for monitoring program feeds and party-line communications, as well as remote feeds, and other
production support functions.

The LKP-957 can be operator congured to operate in single source mode (ONE), or in multiple source mode (MANY), and in
the MANY mode can be temporarily switched to ISO(late) monitor a single source.
