3 Applications

The lectern SPEECH-104D features a high-quality 2-way speaker system, a mixing amplifier with three input channels and a receiver section for two wireless microphones. The lectern is designed for lectures, speeches, readings, etc. The optional wireless microphones offer additional mobility (they can, for example, be handed round in the audience for questions). Apart from microphones, other audio sources (e.g. CD players for music replay) can be connected. When speaking into the microphone, it is possible to automatically mute the music, for example.

The connection LINE LINK can be used to route the output signal to a recorder or another amplifier system. A speaker connected to the speaker output may be used as an addition or alternative to the internal speaker. For optimum illumination of the upper side of the lectern, a gooseneck light can be connected.

With the rechargeable batteries, the lectern can be operated for up to 16 hours without being connected to the mains.

4 Setting up the Lectern

4.1 Installation (fig. 2)

1) Use four screws to fasten the base plate to the lower side of the column.
2) Place the upper part of the lectern onto the column and fold up the cover.
3) Use four screws to fasten the upper part of the lectern to the column.

4.2 Making the connections

Before making or changing any connection, switch off the lectern or turn down the volume controls (6, 7, 11).

The two XLR jacks (22) on the upper side of the lectern can be used to connect either two microphones or a microphone and a goose-neck light.

1) To connect a gooseneck light that is designed for a voltage of 12V and requires a current of 100mA max. (e.g. GNL-304): Connect the cable (1) of the desired XLR jack (22) to the jack (3) for a light. Insert the light into the connected XLR jack on the upper side of the lectern. The jack has a lock; to remove the light, press the PUSH lever.
2) To connect a microphone: Connect the cable (1) of the desired XLR jack to the input jack MIC 1 (2) or MIC 2 (4). Insert the microphone (e.g. an appropriate goose-neck microphone of the EMG...P series) into the connected XLR jack (22) on the upper side of the lectern and then direct the microphone towards the lecturer.

As an alternative, when a higher input sensitivity is required, connect a microphone to the XLR contacts of the jack 1MIC/LINEIN* (5).

Note: The jacks MIC 1 (2) and MIC 2 (4) share the same volume control; therefore, microphones with similar electrical characteristics should be used when these two jacks are used together.

All microphone inputs provide the phantom power (12 V) some microphones require.

Note: Never connect microphones or other audio sources with unbalanced output to the XLR jacks; they may be damaged by the phantom power.

3) To connect a signal source with line level (e.g. mixer, additional receiver for wireless microphones, CD player): Use the 6.3 mm jack of 1 MIC / LINE IN* (5) or the RCA jacks LINE IN (9).

When both RCA jacks are connected (e.g. to the stereo output of a CD player), the signals will be transformed into a mono signal.

When speaking into a microphone, it is possible to mute the signal of an audio source connected to these jacks (function VOICE OVER 📞 chapter 5).

4) An additional amplifier system or a recorder can be connected to the output LINE LINK (10). For stereo recorders, two jacks are available. The amplifier is monophonic; therefore, the signals at the two jacks are identical.

5) The Speakon®-compatible jack EXT. SPEAKER (20) can be used to connect an additional speaker: Insert the speaker plug into the jack and then turn the plug clockwise until it engages. To remove the plug, pull back the safety latch on the plug and turn the plug counter-clockwise.

If required, use the switch INTERNAL SPEAKER (19) to switch off the internal speakers.

*Note: The input 1 MIC / LINE IN (5) cannot be used together with the inputs MIC 1 (2) and MIC 2 (4); therefore, only use the input 1 MIC / LINE IN when the inputs MIC 1 and MIC 2 are not required.

4.3 Recharging the batteries

The lectern is operated by means of two integrated rechargeable lead gel batteries (12 V/7 Ah each). It is not necessary to switch on the lectern to charge the batteries; however, it is possible to use the lectern while the batteries are being charged.

1) Connect the mains cable supplied to the mains jack (18) and the mains plug to a mains socket (230 V/50 Hz).
2) The LED status indicators (14) indicate the charging state: FULL, OK or LOW. The LED indicator CHARGE will light up in red while the batteries are being charged.
3) Once the batteries have been recharged (the LED indicator CHARGE lights up in green), disconnect the lectern from the mains.

Note: To ensure a long life of the rechargeable batteries, disconnect the lectern from the mains after a maximum of 12 hours.

5 Operation

1) Prior to the initial switch-on, set all volume controls (6, 7, 11) to "0" to avoid an unexpectedly high volume when the lectern is switched on.
2) Switch on the audio sources connected and/or the wireless transmitter(s).
3) Use the switch (17) to switch on the lectern. The LED indicator PWR ON (16) will light up. In addition, an LED indicator (14) will indicate the charging state of the batteries. When the LED indicator LOW lights up, the batteries should be recharged (Chapter 4.3).
4) Replay music, for example, from an audio source connected or speak into a wireless microphone or a cable-connected microphone.
5) Use the appropriate control to adjust the volume of the audio sources.

LEVEL(6):Microphonesconnected

to inputs MIC 1 and MIC 2 or audio source at input 1 MIC/LINE IN

2 WIRELESS (7): Wireless microphones, see also chapter 5.1.2.

PLAYER (11): Audio source at input 3 LINE IN

CAUTION

To avoid feedback howling, never hold the microphone towards the speaker or too close to it. Feedback howling may also occur when the volume is too high. In this case, use the appropriate control LEVEL (6) or 2 WIRELESS (7) to reduce the microphone volume.

A level limiter will automatically prevent distortions at high volumes. The LED indicator LIMITER (15) will light up when the limiter is active.

6) Use the control TONE (8) to adjust the desired sound for the microphones or for an audio source connected to the jack 1 MIC / LINE IN (5). Use the control TONE (12) to adjust the sound for an audio source connected to the jack 3 LINE IN (9).
7) To automatically mute the sound of an audio source connected to the jacks 3 LINE IN when speaking into a microphone [VOICE OVER (13)], adjust the control DEPTH in such a way that the LED indicator MUSIC will light up when an announcement is being made.
8) To avoid unnecessary discharging of the batteries, switch off the lectern with the switch (17) after operation or during longer pauses.

If the lectern is not used for a longer period of time, completely charge the batteries prior to storage and recharge them approx. every six months to make up for normal self-discharge and to protect the batteries against damage due to deep discharge.

5.1 Operation with wireless microphones

The lectern is equipped with a receiver module (21) for two wireless microphones / transmitters.

UHF-Duo 3 5 7 1 9 OFF CH.A 10 11 10 A B 3 5 7 1 9 SET OFF CH.B

4 Wireless receiver module

Each receiver section (A and B) is equipped with a control to adjust the volume and to switch it on and off (fig. 4). The display is divided into two parts: left half for receiver section A, right half for receiver section B. When a receiver section has been switched on, the display will indicate the transmission channel. To briefly indicate the radio frequency, press the button (for section A) or (for section B).

5.1.1 Setting the transmission channels

Use the controls to switch on the receiver sections. Do not switch on the corresponding wireless microphones / transmitters for the time being.

5.1.1.1 Channel scan

Keep the buttons and simultaneously pressed for approx. 1 second until SCRn appears on the display. The scan will start: The receiver sections will be set to free channels without mutual interference. If no free channels are found, the channels set will be kept.

Note: The channel scan can also be started for one section only (button △ for section A or button ▽ for section B).

5.1.1.2 Manual channel selection

When both receiver sections A and B are switched on:

1) Keep the button SET pressed until the channel indication for receiver section A starts flashing on the display.
2) Select the channel for receiver section A with the button or and then confirm with the button SET.
3) The channel indication for receiver section B starts flashing on the display. Select the channel for receiver section B with the button or and then confirm with the button SET.

When only one receiver section A or B is switched on:

Keep the button SET pressed until the channel indication starts flashing on the display. Select the channel with the button or and then confirm with the button SET.

Notes:

1. The receiver sections cannot be set to the same channel.
2. If a channel is not confirmed within 10 seconds with the button SET, the setting mode will be exited and the channel previously set will be kept.
3. If, with the transmitter switched off, the respective segment bar A or B on the display indicates reception, interference signals or signals from other transmitters are being received. In this case, use a different channel.

5.1.2 Adjusting the volume

Switch the wireless microphones / transmitters on and set one to the channel of receiver section A and the other to the channel of receiver section B. The respective segment bars on the display will then indicate the strength of the radio signals received. Use the controls to adjust the desired volume for each receiver section.

Use the control 2 WIRELESS (7) to adjust the volume of the audio signals received.

Notes:

1. If no signal is received from the wireless microphone, make sure that the microphone transmits on the correct frequency (channel) and check the battery of the microphone. If required, reduce the distance between the lectern and the microphone.
2. A poor reception may be improved by turning or moving the lectern.

5.1.3 Setting the squelch

The squelch function will mute the respective receiver section when the level of the radio signal falls below the threshold value adjusted. Thus, interference signals will not cause noise when the transmitter is switched off or when its radio signal is poor: If the levels of the interference signals are below the threshold value, the receiver section will be muted. A high threshold value offers high interference resistance, but it will also reduce the transmission range.

1) Switch off the receiver sections A and B. Then keep the button SET pressed while switching on a receiver section. The display will indicate For, With the number flashing.
2) Press the button SET to activate the squelch setting mode: 5 (for "Squelch") and the current value (flashing) will appear on the display.
3) Use the button or to set the value (level 7 = highest threshold value). Press the button SET to exit the squelch setting mode.

Note: The setting modes will be automatically exited after 5 seconds if no button is pressed. Any settings made will be saved.
