3 Applications
The CS-50 system is used for technical support of conferences and discussion meetings with up to 50 microphone stations. Via additional audio connections on the controller CS-50CU, further units (e.g. recorders, amplifiers, wireless microphone systems, equalizers, telecommunication) will easily be integrated.
Each microphone station (CS-50DU and CS-50CH) is equipped with a high-quality microphone cartridge, a speaker and two headphone jacks with a volume control. CS-50CH, the microphone stations for chair - persons are also provided with a priority button which will allow chairpersons to interrupt other delegates for their own announcements.
Various discussion modes (e.g. a defined number of delegates talking at the same time or a talking time with automatic limit), an indication of date and time, a separate stopwatch feature, a key lock feature for the controller and a test feature for all microphone stations connected will allow versatile applications of the system.
4 Making Connections
Always switch off the units prior to making or changing any connections!
4.1 Microphone stations
For connecting the microphone stations, the two jacks "Trunk in/out" (19) are provided on the controller. Each of the two jacks will allow connection of a chain of up to 25 microphone stations of the type CS-50CH and/or CS-50DU.
1) Connect the plug (29) of the first microphone station to one of the jacks "Trunk in/out" (19).
2) Connect the plug (29) of the second microphone station to the jack (28) on the rear side of the first microphone station (or to the other jack "Trunk in/out" on the controller).
3) Connect further microphone stations in the same way. The CS-50CH and CS-50DU units may be connected in any order. The number of microphone stations connected to the two jacks on the controller may also be different.
4.2 Additional microphone
It will be possible to connect an additional microphone or the receiver of a wireless microphone via the jack "Microphone"(20). For microphones requiring a phantom power supply, a voltage of 12 V is present at this jack. Therefore, do not connect any microphones or wireless receivers with unbalanced output signal to this jack; otherwise they may be damaged.
4.3 Recorder
To record a discussion, connect the input of a recorder to the RCA jacks "Recorder out" (15). The signal level at these jacks will be independent of the speaker volume adjusted.
To reproduce a recording, connect the output of the recorder to the RCA jacks "Recorder in". The jacks are available for the left (L) channel and the right (R) channel respectively of a stereo recorder; however, signal processing in the conference system will be monophonic.
4.4 Signal source with line level
A mono signal source with line level (e. g. the output of a mixer) can be connected to the RCA jack "Line in" (16).
If only a stereo signal source is available and the input "Recorder in" is not used, the source can be connected to this input.
4.5 Amplifier system
To reproduce the discussion via an amplifier system, connect the input of the amplifier or mixer to the jack "Line out" (16).
4.6 Telephone coupler
To allow participation in the discussion by phone, a telephone coupler can be connected to the jacks “Telephone” (13). This telephone coupler will electrically adapt the telephone network to the conference system as required.
Caution: Never try to connect a telephone line directly to the conference system!
4.7 Inserting external signal processing
To insert an additional unit for signal processing (e.g. an equalizer for matching the sound or a compressor for dynamic limiting) into the signal path of the conference system, connect the input of the unit to the jack "Insertion out" (14) and its output to the jack "Insertion in".
Set the switch (12) to position "I" so that the external sound processing will take effect.
4.8 Headphones
As an alternative to the speakers, headphones can be used for hearing. For this purpose, the controller is provided with a jack (2), the microphone stations are equipped with a jack (24) on the left and on the right each. Once a plug is connected to a jack, the corresponding speaker will be switched off.
4.9 Power supply
Finally connect the mains cable provided to the mains jack (10) first, then connect it to a mains socket (230 V\~/50 Hz).
5 Operation
Note: If no unit for external sound processing is connected to the jacks "Insertion" (14) or if a unit connected to these jacks is not used, set the switch ☐2) to position "O".
Set the volume control (4) to "1" first, then switch on the controller with the POWER switch (9). The display (5) will show the last operating mode selected and also the date (format: year - month - day) and the time (format: hour : minute : second).
To set the clock ↗ chapter 5.5.
5.1 Selecting the operating mode
1) Keep the button SET (8) pressed for approx. 2 seconds. Instead of the date, 📂 keep flashing while the setting menu is activated.
2) With the buttons (6) or (7), select one of the following operating modes:
"Over Ride Mode"
A delegate will switch on his/her microphone by shortly pressing the talk button (27). The LED (23) at this microphone station and the ring (22) of this microphone will light up as long as the microphone is switched on. To switch it off, press the button once again.
Once another delegate switches on his/her microphone, the microphone of the delegate talking before will be switched off automatically.
Switching-off will not affect the microphone of a chairperson at a microphone station CS-50CH. It will be possible to switch it on/off at the same time as the other microphone stations.
"Chairman Only"
Only a chairperson at a microphone station CS-50CH will be able to switch on/off his/her microphone via the talk button (27); the microphones of the delegates will remain switched off.
"Open Mode"
A defined number of delegates will be able to talk at the same time. If the maximum number of microphones is switched on, it will not be possible to add another microphone. A delegate requesting to speak will have to wait until one of the delegates talking before has switched off his/her microphone.
This limitation will not apply to a chairperson at a microphone station CS-50CH; he/she will be able to
switch on or off his/her microphone via the talk button (27) at any time.
"Timer Mode"
This operating mode is similar to the "Open Mode"; however, the microphone will be automatically switched off after 30 seconds. Thus, a delegate will not be able to permanently prevent a discussion of other delegates, e. g. when forgetting to switch off his/her microphone.
3) For the operating modes "Open Mode" and "Timer Mode" only:
Press the button SET: the symbol will flash.
With the button or , adjust the maximum number of delegates talking at the same time (1 - 4).
4) Confirm the selection with the button SET.
The display will shortly show "Saving" and the setting menu will disappear.
5.2 Operation of the microphone stations CS-50DU
1) To switch on the microphone, shortly press the talk button (27). The LED (23) and the ring (22) will light up once the microphone is switched on.
Note: Switching on, however, may be prevented by the controller (chapter 5.1) or via the priority button of the microphone station for a chairperson (chapter 5.3.1).
2) If headphones are connected to one of the jacks (24), the speaker (25) of the microphone station will be switched off. Depending on the maximum volume adjusted on the controller, the headphone volume can be adjusted with the control (30) on the right of the microphone station for both jacks together.
CAUTION: Never adjust the headphones to a
very high volume. Permanent high volumes may damage your hearing! The human ear will get accustomed to high volumes which do not seem to be that high after some time. Therefore, do not further increase a high volume after getting used to it.
3) To switch off the microphone, press the talk button (27) once again. The LED (23) and the light ring (22) will be extinguished.
Note: The microphone may also be switched off at any time by the controller (chapter 5.1) or via the priority button of the microphone station for a chairperson (chapter 5.3.1).
5.2.1 Adjusting the microphone sensitivity
Via the control GAIN (31) on the lower side of each microphone station, it will be possible to adjust the amplification and thus to adapt the sensitivity of the microphone to the delegate by means of a small screwdriver.
5.3 Microphone stations for chairpersons CS-50CH
Switching on and switching off the microphone via the talk button and the adjustment of the headphone volume and the microphone sensitivity of the microphone stations for chairpersons CS-50CH is the same as for the microphone stations for the other delegates (chapter 5.2). However, the microphone can be switched on by the chairperson at any time and only be switched off by him/her.
5.3.1 Priority button
The priority button allows the chairperson to interrupt a discussion between delegates. As long as the priority button (26) is pressed, the microphones of all delegate stations will remain switched off. The adjustment of the two switches on the lower side of the microphone station for a chairperson will define the behaviour when the priority button is pressed or released:
left switch (32)
upper position: when the priority button is pressed, a signal will sound
lower position: when the priority button is pressed, no signal will sound
right switch (33)
upper position: when the priority button is released, the microphones of all delegate stations will remain switched off
lower position: all microphones of delegate stations which had been switched on before the priority button was pressed, will be automatically switched on again when the button is released
5.4 Volume adjustments on the controller
5.4.1 Total volume
With the control (4), adjust the volume of all speakers and the maximum volume of all headphone connections on the controller and at all microphones stations connected. In case of feedback howling, e. g. if the microphone stations are too close together and the microphone sensitivity on the microphone stations is adjusted to a very high level ( chapter 5.2.1 ), turn back the control accordingly. The control offers 11 positions, in position "0", all speakers and headphones will be switched off. The signal level at the output "Recorder out" (15) will not be affected by this control.
5.4.2 Speaker and headphones on the controller
With the control (8), adjust the volume for the head-phone jack (2) and the speaker (1). If headphones are connected to the jack, the speaker will be switched off.
CAUTION: Never adjust the headphones to a very
high volume. Permanent high volumes may damage your hearing! The human ear will get accustomed to high volumes which do not seem to be that high after some time. Therefore, do not further increase a high volume after getting used to it.
5.4.3 Volume for external microphone
If required, match the volume for a microphone connected to the jack "Microphone" (20) or for a receiver of a wireless microphone: By means of a small screwdriver, turn up the control "Gain" (18) only to such an extent that the sound reproduced will not distort.
5.4.4 Volume for the input "Recorder in"
If required, match the volume for a signal source connected to the jacks "Recorder in" (15): By means of a small screwdriver, turn up the control "Gain" (17) only to such an extent that the sound reproduced will not distort.
