Presentation-style conferences for up to 14 languages, where a floor and a single relay language are used.
IC-2
Interpreter Control Console
SPECIFICATION DATA
The Williams Sound IC-2 is an audio control center for
simultaneous interpretation of one or more languages. As a
stand-alone unit, it allows one or two interpreters to monitor
floor or relay sources, activate microphone inputs, and route the
interpretation signal to one of two language groups. Ideal for
presentation-style conferences for up to 14 languages, where a
floor and a single relay language are used. Can be used with
Williams Sound FM, IR and Digi-Wave™ transmitters for portable or
fixed installations. Designed to meet international standards for
portable interpretation consoles.
Features
• CAT5 audio bus oers simplified cabling, easy cascading to
support additional interpreters.
• Built-in distribution amplifier and mini mixer reduce the need for
external equipment and greatly simplify setup.
• Floor language feed-through
• Interlocking microphone and CH2 (relay) output functions
• Soft-touch buttons provide for smoother, quieter operation
• Enhanced flexibility, providing each interpreter with multiple
microphone and headset options
• Individual volume and tone controls ensure optimal listening
levels
• Five-year warranty

The IC-2 is an audio control center powered by an 18VDC universal
(100 – 240 VAC) power supply. It shall be housed in a black and
grey steel enclosure 10” x 6.35” x 2.45”.
Top
The IC-2 shall have individual rotary volume and tone controls
for two interpreters (L & R). Input and output selection is selected
with soft touch buttons for smooth quiet operation. The console
shall have two selectable listening modes (blue, relay and floor)
and two selectable output modes (yellow, CH1 and CH2). The unit
shall have two microphone select buttons (red when activated) and
microphone (push and hold) for mute.
Rear
Each unit shall have an RJ-45 input and output for interconnection
to additional IC-2s via CAT5 audio bus cable eliminating the need
for additional distribution amplifiers. It shall have an XLR floor in jack
with gain control. It shall have XLR and RCA CH2 and CH1 outputs.
It shall have switchable CH1 and CH2 selection and ground lift
capability.
Sides
It shall have one XLR audio input jack for microphone with its own
rotary gain control and switchable 12V power supply for each
interpreter (L & R). It shall have 3.5mm microphone input (with rotary
gain control) and 3.5mm headphone output jacks. Each side shall
also have a 3.5mm combination headset jack for use with iPhone
