The HB-704, four-channel-selectable, full-duplex headset station, and HB-702, two-channel-selectable, full-duplex headset station, are designed to be mounted into a wall or other surface. These headset stations are ideal for installation in theatrical, performance, broadcast, and industrial f a c i l i t i es - wherever a multi-channel, full-duplex headset communica t i o n s p a n e l is desired. Both units mount in a standard U.S. two-gang outlet box. The stations offer excellent speech intelligibility even in high noise environments. Microprocessor-controlled logic plus a set of internal and external controls allow the features of these stations to be tailored to the needs of the user. Electronic switching for the talk button, blue-color LED (on) or amber-color (off), permits momentary or latching operation. A Remote Mic Kill (RMK) signal on the intercom line will turn on the talk function if it is accidentally left on.
A red-color LED tracks the incoming call signal, so it can be used for visual cueing. An associated call button allows the user to place a call signal on the selected intercom line. The standard 4-pin XLR headset jack accommodates Clear-Com and compatible dynamic headsets. A sidetone level control adjusts the amount of the user’s voice heard in the headset. An automatic limiter circuit adjusts and limits the microphone output to the intercom line. A two-position switch on the HB-702, and a four-position switch on the HB-704, allow the user to select from the attached intercom channels. Connections to the intercom lines are made via a screw-terminal block, using standard two-wire shielded mic cable.
