Description:

This self-contained audio control center lets interpreters listen to the program directly from the floor or another
interpreter while simultaneously interpreting into a microphone. Used as a stand-alone unit, the IC–1 is capable
of handling dual language applications. Used in tandem, multiple IC-1s may be combined to economically
handle up to four languages.

female jacks, allowing balanced or unbalanced line-level inputs. Maximum input levels shall be 3.8 Vrms. Gain
shall be 6 dB with 43 kΩ input impedance. There shall be two microphone inputs, both 1⁄4" TRS phone jacks, bal-
anced or unbalanced. These inputs shall be mic-level, allowing a maximum 70 mVrms and 46 dB gain. The two
microphone inputs shall supply simplex DC power for electret mics with 1.75 kΩ input impedance. There shall be
two independent 3.5 mm TRS microphone inputs (unbalanced [T,S] for condenser mics), allowing a maximum 70
mVrms. Gain shall be 46 dB. The two 3.5 mm inputs shall supply DC power on tip, 1.75 kΩ input impedance.

Outputs

The “Key Out” and “Norm Out” outputs shall be 3-Pin XLR male jacks, balanced or unbalanced line-level.
Maximum output shall be 7.7 Vrms. Source impedance shall be 56 Ω. There shall be two independent 3.5 mm TRS
headphone output jacks (left right). The headphone outputs shall allow the use of either mono or stereo head­phones, 8-32 Ω. Maximum power shall be 63 mW at 8 Ω.
