    Wi-Fi systems and resistance to mobile phones or Bluetooth emission, also suppressing unwanted interception. The wireless DIGIMIC provides also a multi-room solution, offering the possibility of using the same system within one building in several rooms at the same time.
  • Page 12: Connecting The Power Supply

    Autonomous mode Connecting the Power Supply For the basic functions of the Radio Transceiver Unit you just have to connect the external desktop power supply to the DSpark (Figure 2). Then you can start to place the wireless delegate units DMic with DDoc for your conference. Figure 2 On/Off switch Power Supply 05.0292...
  • Page 13: Transmitting Antenna

    Autonomous mode Transmitting antenna The powerful directed transmission antenna ensures the continuous control and audio downstream to each single delegate unit within the system even over longer distances of up to 50m radius and beyond, depending on the installation environment. Adjustment of the transmitting antenna The radiating side of the transmission antenna is the curved front side.

    1. The wireless system is now completely closed (like a wired one) and cannot be intercepted by any other wireless DIGIMIC unit. This is important because to exclude interception you have to take out the unit which are designed to work perfectly with the DIGIMIC wireless: DMic and DDoc.
  • Page 16: Ls Intern

    Autonomous mode LS INTERN When active (LED on) the audio signals from the DMic units are directly routed to the DMic loudspeakers. Audio from DMic micro Audio to DMic loudspeakers (LS) Figure 4 Otherwise (LED off) external signals are routed to the DMic loudspeakers, e.g. from a mixing console like shown below.

    Rechargeable battery pack The transformation of the wired DIGIMIC delegate units is easily be done by unplugging the cable and sliding the DMic on the docking station DDoc. But before sliding the DMic on the docking station, it is necessary to remove the covering of the contact bar on the rear side.
  • Page 18 This solution introduces unique flexibility in terms of the installation of rental and sales projects and maintains a high level of connectivity. DIGIMIC wireless is based on an intelligent transmission protocol, which assures the audio quality and reliability of a wired conference system, combined with the flexibility and freedom offered by wireless.
  • Page 19: Slave Mode

    Once connected to the DCen, the DSpark falls automatically into the Slave Mode. All registered wireless DIGIMIC discussion units will be controlled now only by the DCen Central Control Unit and behave just like another line of wired discussion units. The D9 system cable is a high flexible shielded CAT5 cable with lockable S8G-connectors.
