Communication Station (PZA)
Digital communication station with touchscreen and CobraNet® messaging channels with gooseneck microphone
The IED550CS-H/G digital communications station is a fully programmable touchscreen user interface device for initiating audio-visual announcements with GLOBALCOM announcement control systems. Each model uses an electret condenser cartridge that is placed in the housing in such a way as to improve its frequency response. The location of the microphone element provides the mechanism for good acoustic coupling to provide a full-bodied, highly intelligible voice signal. The IED550CS-G includes a gooseneck microphone.
The IED550CS has an auxiliary line-level audio input that can be used as a (local) background music source. The station also has a line-level audio output that can be used as a zone output.
The IED550CS is a network device where each station can obtain its IP address automatically or can be assigned a unique IP address, simplifying installation and configuration.
Gooseneck microphone
The gooseneck microphone contains an omnidirectional electret condenser microphone cartridge integrated with a microphone preamplifier and audio line controller. The microphone element is mounted on the metal part of the gooseneck windscreen. The preamplifier and line driver are on a PC board mounted inside the gooseneck base on an XLR connector. The microphone assembly is a 12” gooseneck with a hard metal windscreen on top and a 5-pin XLR connector at the base for mounting.
