Tempest 2.4GHz Multi-BaseStation Guide – v.1
out type applications. (Note – A discrete 4-wire connection is required for every channel of every base in a
system.)
Stage Announce
Stage Announce.
A discrete 3-pin XLR-f output from the BaseStation. When the “Stage” button on the
BeltStation is pressed, all other audio sends from the enabled BeltStation are suspended, and the Mic signal
is routed to ‘the Stage Ann’ output on the back of the BaseStation.
External destination mixing of Stage Announce
When using multiple BaseStations, the Stage Announce function does not automatically connect between
bases.
Using a simple line mixer, the Stage Announce outputs of multiple BaseStations can be combined so that
multiple sources can address the same destination. By enabling and connecting a BaseStations relay(s) to a
paging systems contact closures, you can enable different BeltStations to address different destinations
within your paging system.
Aux Out/Aux In (program). ¼” Balanced connectors enabling audio in to, or out of, the BaseStation.
External source mixing
When using multiple BaseStations, the Aux-In function does not automatically connect between bases.
Using a simple line mixer, multiple sources can be combined to a single BaseStations Aux-In. This can be
useful for creating an “un-interruptible” source for critical cueing without taking up an intercom channel.
External destination mixing
When using multiple BaseStations, the Aux-Out function does not automatically connect between bases.
Using a simple line mixer/router, a BaseStations Aux-Out can be sent to multiple destinations. This can be
useful for routing BaseStation audio to video recording, paging systems and listen-only systems.
Relay
Multi-base relay schemes
When using multiple BaseStations, the Relay function does not automatically connect between bases.
Single relay – multiple closures.
In this setup we are using a single BaseStation Relay to trigger multiple
discrete contact closures. An example would be Stage Announce to a multiple zone paging system,
using the single relay to open all zones of a paging system to the Stage Announce output.
Multiple relays – single closure.
In this setup we are using multiple BaseStation Relays to trigger a
single closure. An example would be multiple BaseStations Stage Announce controlling the same
contact closure.
