IC-2 Interpreters Control Console

Overview

The IC-2 is an audio control console for simultaneous language interpretation. A single unit allows one or two interpreters to monitor ﬂoor or relay sources, activate microphone inputs, and route their interpretation to one of two audio output channels. The system is ideal for presentation-style conferences where all interpreters speak a common or “Relay” language. The IC-2 has many helpful, new features that simplify setup, improve audio quality and increase ﬂexibility:

· CAT5 bus allows quicker setup with simpliﬁed cabling, easy cascading to support additional interpreters, and no external distribution ampliﬁers.

· Soft-touch buttons provide smoother, quieter operation.

· RCA jacks make recording the interpretation simple.

· Multiple microphone and headphone connection options for each interpreter make using your existing equipment a snap.

· Supports an array of hands-free headphones and microphone.

· Individual controls for each interpreter ensure optimal listening and output levels.

· Peak level indicator light allows technicians to easily ensure audio output levels are consistent.

· Automatic interlock of the relay channel.

· Selectable feedthrough ( automatic routing ) of the Floor signal onto unoccupied channels.

The IC-2 can be used with Williams AV FM, IR and Digi-Wave transmitters for portable installations. It is designed to meet international standards for interpretation consoles and is backed by a 5-year warranty.
