Stage Announce (SA)
The Stage Announce (SA) function in the Tempest BaseStation is used to send a wireless BeltStation microphone signal to
a dedicated external audio output. When a wireless user presses the STAGE button on the BeltStation, their audio is re-
routed from the selected intercom channel(s) and is sent to the BaseStation rear panel SA connector. In addition, a relay
closure contact is available on the RELAY connector on the back of the BaseStation. Pressing the STAGE button enables
the headset microphone regardless of the status of the Talk buttons. If enabled, all BeltStations can access this feature.
The Stage Announce output connector is an XLR-3M. The Stage Announce connector is balanced and transformer isolated
and outputs nominal line level audio from -4 to +8 dBu. The Stage Announce connector output level can be adjusted at
the “Stage Announce” menu screen, under “Wired Intercom Settings.”
In addition, the Stage button may be configured to also control an additional relay assigned to the users BeltStation. See
the GPO Relay section for more details.
On the BaseStation an active Talk button is not required to send a Call signal, and
the Call signal is routed to the channel selected for monitoring. On the BeltStation a
Call signal is sent only when the Talk button is enabled, and only on the channel(s)
selected for Talk.
