Set Mic Gain
Set the Mic Gain properly to assure the best audio quality. To set the Mic Gain for the BeltStation Headset:
1. Press MENU to enter Menu Mode. From the Main Menu select “Set Controls,” then “Mic Gain.”
2. While at the Mic Gain screen, talk into the headset microphone at a louder than normal level and adjust the Volume control
until the PEAK LEDs just start to light at the loudest parts of the audio. Press ENT to accept the changes.
Mic Gain can be set in the BeltStation without activating the Talk button. This allows private mic gain adjustment during live
events. The Mic Gain can be set for each BeltStation from the T-Desk application.
When the Mic Gain is set too high it is possible to induce feedback or echo. When set too low, words can be clipped by
the low level noise gate or sounds too quiet to other listeners. Headsets by different manufacturer’s or different models
of headsets will require widely varying Mic Gain settings. When setting microphone gain it is best to err toward a setting
that is too low, rather than too high. This will help reduce unwanted echo in the system when that microphone is enabled.
iSelect Roaming – Selecting a BaseStation
Installations with multiple BaseStation coverage zones often require users to move from one work zone to another
throughout the day. Tempest handles these transitions with iSelect™ On-Command Roaming. Using iSelect, a user can
easily change their communication from one BaseStation to another BaseStation in just a few seconds.
• Confirm that the BeltStation has been paired with all required BaseStations.
• Confirm that there is an available slot on the desired BaseStation. If no slot is open, power off one of the connected
BeltStations, wait for 15 seconds, and proceed.
• Press MENU and select “Select Base.” Scroll to the desired BaseStation and press ENTER. Press MENU to exit.
Tempest Wireless BeltStations remember the last 64 BaseStations to which they have been paired.
Wireless ISO
Wireless ISO (isolate), sometimes referred to as wireless talk-around is a wireless-only intercom feature that allows
communication among wireless BeltStations only. When a wired intercom system is connected, Wireless ISO communicates
through the wireless portion of the system only. The BaseStation front panel headset does not receive ISO audio.
Wireless ISO is enabled by default and is
available only on channel A
. It is activated by pressing and holding ENTER. ENTER
enables the headset mic regardless of the “TALK A” button.
Wireless ISO only operates in Operational mode. It does not operate in Menu mode.
