MCS 20 – Power Supply Unit
36
Thank you for selecting the wired MCS 20 conference system from beyerdynamic. Please take some time to read
through this manual carefully before using this product.
One system includes the following components:
• MCS 20 power supply unit
• MCS 221 delegate microphone unit
• MCS 223 chairman microphone unit
• MCS 263 system unit
1. Introduction
The MCS 20 system from beyerdynamic is a reliable conference system which provides versatility, easy handling and
quality. The system is controlled by a micro processor which is integrated in the MCS 223 chairman microphone unit.
All functions feature a solid-state control which is electronically precise. The MCS 221 and MCS 223 microphone
units consist of a microphone and loudspeaker as well as a connection for a headphone. The MCS 263 system unit
also provides connections for microphone, loudspeaker and headphone. An additional loudspeaker system can be
connected to the MCS 20 power supply unit, but not necessarily. The decentral sound system avoids runtime
effects and echoes to ensure a perfect communication at each seat. The gooseneck microphones and loudspeakers
contribute to an excellent and natural audio quality. The handling is very easy and the chairman controls the meeting
with his/her microphone unit.
The standard cable configuration is a daisy chain connection of all devices in the system. The single cable system
allows any other configuration.
T-adapters are available for branches. Please note, the maximum number of microphone units that can be turned on
is limited for one power supply unit. More microphone units, however, can be turned on, when the power supply
unit is cascaded.
