LS381 Single Circuit Rackmount Loudspeaker Station

Please note there can be a long lead time on this item as it is assembled to order..  

The LS381 rackmount Loudspeaker Station is designed to provide local monitoring of a single intercom circuit without the need to wear headphones. The built-in microphone allows full duplex (simultaneous talk and listen) conversations to take place. Feedback cancellation circuitry helps avoid acoustic howl-round when speaker and microphone are operating together. To further reduce feedback, a gooseneck microphone (which allows the operator to speak closer to the mic capsule) may be plugged in, disabling the internal microphone. If required, a headset may be plugged in, disabling both the internal microphone and speaker.

Pressing the 'Call' button causes 'Call Alert' lights on other Tecpro user stations to flash to attract the attention of operators who may have momentarily removed their beltpack and headset.

The LS381 Loudspeaker Station can both detect and generate 'Remote Mic Kill' tone. If tone is detected and the microphone is active, it will be automatically switched off to help control the build up of unnecessary noise and chatter.

Pressing the 'Speaker Mute' button silences the loudspeaker output. To prevent important announcements accidentally going unheard when muted, the LS381 Loudspeaker Station will automatically restore audio levels to a pre-set volume when an 'Override' control signal is generated elsewhere on the intercom circuit. The 'Override' loudspeaker volume can be set anywhere between zero and full volume.

Pressing the 'Speaker Mute' button silences the loudspeaker output. To prevent important announcements going unheard when muted, the LS361 Loudspeaker Station will automatically restore audio levels to a pre-set volume when an 'Override' control signal is generated elsewhere on the intercom circuit. The 'Override' loudspeaker volume can be set anywhere between zero and full volume.

Connection to the intercom system is via a pair of 3-pin XLR connectors which allow the LS381 to be daisy chained with other user stations.

The LS381 derives power either directly from the 24V DC Tecpro line, or from an optional external 24V PSU. A green LED indicates power is present.

If monitoring of two independent intercom circuits is required, the LS382 should be considered.
