DIS Digital Discussion Systems

DC 5900 F Discussion Unit

Description

The DC 5900 F is a flushmount discussion unit for the DIS DDS 5900 Digital
Discussion System. It enables participants to address and monitor others in the dis­cussion, while mounting unobtrusively onto the surface. The DC 5900 F is configu­rable as a chairman or delegate.

The modular design of the DC 5900 F allows component variations to expand or
simplify the system. A loudspeaker is available for listening to the discussion, while
a headphone output provides two language translation channels. Expanded mi­crophone options offer greater flexibility and deliver superior audio performance.
Touch-button controls automatically configure as chairman or delegate, according to
the attached overlay.

Component Variations

The DC 5900 F is a system of modular
components that can be expanded or
simplified once the base unit has been
installed. The following is a description
of each component:

① Base

Each component connects to the
DC 5900 F base to assemble the
discussion unit. Two RJ-45 jacks
on the bottom provide power,
audio, and control across a chain of
discussion units.

② Front plate

The front plate includes the touch­button controls. Two models are
available:

◦ FP 5921 F: speech only
◦ FP 5981 F: speech with

language interpretation
monitoring

③ Loudspeaker

The optional LS 5900 F loudspeaker
provides sound reinforcement of the
discussion.

④ Gooseneck microphone

The microphone enables
participants to address the floor and
is available in a variety of models:

◦ GM 59xx
◦ GM 6xxx
◦ Shure MX4xxRLP (requires AC

5901 XLR/Microflex adapter)

⑤ Touch-button overlays

The overlay attaches to the front
plate and automatically configures
the touch-button controls. Each
overlay provides specific controls
for operation as a delegate or
chairman. A blank overlay is also
available for participants that do not
require any controls.
