The CS 5 BU ensures easy, user-friendly control of everything from a small discussion setup to a large conference system. The Base Unit provides all the inputs and outputs needed to manage a complex audio system. It controls 64 audio channels that can be individually programmed and assigned to interpretation channels or NOM limitation.

The CS 5 BU also provides many extra inputs and outputs:

• LINE IN (XLR)              - input for an external mixer;
• LINE OUT(XLR)           - output for an external mixer;
• EXT.MIC IN                   - input for a lectern microphone, audience microphone, etc. ;
• TAPE IN/OUT               - input for an audio source/output for a recording device;
• TELEPHONE IN/OUT  - input and output for connecting a teleconference system(mix minus signal);
• LANG.EXT.                   - microphone input for consecutive interpretation;
• INFRARED OUT           - direct output for infrared radiators(no extra modules required) for transmitting up to seven language channels.

Every CS 5 Digital Conference System comes complete with a FREE basic control software package so the entire system can be controlled from a computer from day one.

Like all other CS 5 microphone stations, the CS 5 DU provides maximum acoustic flexibility. Choose from two goosenecks of different lengths and five microphones with different polar patterns to meet every requirement of any type of conference system.

In additional to usual PTT key, this microphone station offers two advanced features previously found on more expensive conferencing equipment only:

A bank of dip switches allows each headphone output to be assigned independently to sither the floor channel or one of three interpreted language channels. The PTT key also provides a simple aye/no voting function.

In a small discussion system with CS 5 DU microphone stations, the chairperson would typically use a CS 5 VU. In President mode, it provides a priority function and allows the user to start votes or polls. The display will then indicate the time left for voting and the results. In a larger conference system, the CS 5 VU can be used both by delegates and by the president. In Delegate mode, it provides all voting and language selection functions independently for two delegates.

A bank of dip switches allows the CS 5 VU to be set to President mode with priority and 1, 3, or 5-way voting/polling functions. In computer-controlled conference system, chip-card identification is available as an option.

The CS 5 IU interpreter station has been designed to conform to the relevant international standards and provides four selectable input channels(floor, relay, and two other languages).

The microphone input accepts a gooseneck in one of two different lengths with one of five different microphones. Alternatively, a headset can be connected to keep the microphone distance constant even if the interpreter moves about.

AKG offers a wide choice of proffesional headsets such as the HSC 271 and many more...

The AKG CS 5 IRT 1 or CS 5 IRT 2 wireless infrared radiators transmit up to seven language channels to persons(e.g., observers) wishing only to listen to the discusions without asking for the floor.

The CS 5 BU provides seven of its 64 audio channels at two BNC output driving the CS 5 IRT 1 and CS 5 IRT 2 infrared radiators. You can connect and daisly-chain as many radiators as needed.

The CS 5 IRT 1 and IRT 2 differ only in size and radiated power, and can be combined as desired.

With its seven selectable channels and extremely rugged case, the CS 5 IRR 7 infrared receiver is every attendee's reliable companion throughout the conference. The supplied NiMH rechargeable battery provides more than 12 hours of operation.

The receiver will drive any headphones with a mini jack plug, of which AKG offers a wide selection. AKG currently recommends the K 77, a particularly light, circumaural model. Its leatherette ear pads are easy to clean, fit comfortably without pinching or causing fatigue even during prolonged working sessions.

The CS 5 CU 50 can charge up to 50 CS 5 IRR 7 receivers. This "intelligent" flightcase monitors the charging status of each NiMH battery and maintains the maximum charging current for as long as necessary before automatically switching to trickle charging. The LEDs on each receiver indicate its battery status at any time.

The CS 5 CU 50 is also an ideal storage case for up to 50 CS 5 IRR 7 infrared receivers.
