Features

The SX-M100 conference system is a flexible discussion system that can be configured with the versatile units introduced below. The standard system supports a conference of up to 60 delegates. Connecting the SX-E120 Expansion Unit (not supplied) allows the system to support up to 120 delegates. The SX-T100 Telephone Coupler (not supplied) allows the use of a telephone line during a conference. By using the telephone, a person not actually in the conference hall can also take part in the conference.

The standard system consists of the following units.

• SX-M100 Control Unit This unit controls the conference system. The control unit can be mounted in a 19-inch rack.

• Chairman’s Unit/Delegate’s Unit

– SX-C100A/SX-D100A Chairman’s Unit/Delegate’s Unit: Desktop

type. You can move these units freely in the conference room.

– SX-C150/SX-D150 Chairman’s Unit/Delegate’s Unit: Desk-mounted type.

These units are fixed to the desks. These units feature both a microphone and speaker. Use the above combination of the chairman’s unit and delegate’s unit.

• SX-T100 Telephone Coupler This coupler is used to connect the control unit to a telephone line. Using this coupler allows a person to take part in a conference from a remote location, even from overseas.

In addition to the units described above, the following optional units are available.

SXA-120 Expansion Board

The board is designed to allow the expansion of the system’s functions. Installing this board in the control unit allows the following function expansion units to be connected.
