CONNECTING TO A PROGRAM AUDIO SOURCE
CellCom 10 can connect with a program audio source, making it accessible to be
assigned by itself to a communication path to one or more CEL-BP wireless
beltpacks, or to be added to a group with other communications and assigned to
beltpacks. Using the two separate rotary encoder volume controls on the
beltpack, you can monitor the program on one control while talking and
listening on an intercom channel with the other.
The balanced female 3-pin XLR connector accepts a standard audio signal from a
mixing console or similar, with Pin 1 ground, Pin 2 audio hot (+), and Pin 3
audio cold (-).This connector is transformer-isolated.
To make the program input signal available to the system, the front-panel PRGM
enable button must be pushed. The red LED above it will light, indicating that it
is now available. This front-panel switch may be “locked” to prevent accidental
disengagement, using the front panel display.
Using the front-panel display and rotary encoder, you may select PORTS and
give the connector a five-character alphanumeric label. You may assign that
program input by itself to a beltpack using the BELTPACKS menu, or use the
GROUPS menu to assign the program input to any group.
CONNECTING TO THE STAGE ANNOUNCE OUTPUT
The stage announce feature allows a CEL-BP wireless beltpack user to route their
voice to an external paging system or other audio destination by pressing one of
the rotary encoders to which the SA OUT connector is assigned. The adjacent
SA RELAY is simultaneously triggered. One beltpack user at a time may use this
feature, though the capability may be assigned to any or all of the wireless
beltpacks, as desired.
Connect a microphone cable to the male 3-pin XLR connector on the rear of the
CellCom 10 base station, and connect the other end to the external audio
system. When the output is activated, the beltpack user’s voice will be sent at line
level to the audio system. The audio output ceases when the beltpack user stops
pressing the rotary encoder; it is good practice to make sure that any rotary
encoder to which the SA OUT is assigned is set to momentary/non-latching
mode.
