DESCRIPTION
The Clear-Com MS-702 is a two-channel, one-rack space main station ideal for
ENG and EFP trucks, production studio consoles, theatre, live performances,
and small TV facilities. It features excellent speech intelligibility in all noise levels
and can be tailored to your needs through its programmable options.
Selectable two-channel talking and/or listening allows the operator to
communicate on either of the intercom channels separately or on both at once.
The illuminated dual-action talk buttons provide electronic
momentary
or
latching
capability. Monitoring can be done through the headset, the integral
speaker, or both at once. The MS-702 offers both visual and audible call
signaling to attract the attention of operators who have removed their headsets or
turned off their speakers. The
remote mic kill
(RMK) feature provides the ability
to turn off all open mics on remote beltpacks.
The MS-702 can control a paging speaker for studio announcements. A front
panel button activates both this function and an associated relay. A balanced
program input allows monitoring of external audio using the headset or speaker.
This main station accepts dynamic headsets. Individual sidetone controls for
each intercom channel allow the operator to vary the level of his/her own voice as
heard in the headset and speaker. It also accepts Clear-Com gooseneck panel
microphones.
The integral speaker can be turned on or off by a convenient front panel switch.
An automatic speaker dipping circuit will lower the level of the speaker when the
announce
button,
talk
buttons or
program
interrupt are activated. This feature
helps minimize feedback.
The MS-702 two-channel
main station is a powerful,
yet user-friendly unit that
can serve as the heart of a
Clear-Com system.
