10. REMOTE MICROPHONE GENERAL-PURPOSE BROADCAST

10.1. Operation and Display Sections

The panel functions of the operation and display sections differ depending on the amplifier configuration (5 zones or 10 zones) and the use of the Recorded Message Announcement function. The figure shows an example of the operation panel function for a 5-zone single amplifier configuration with the Voice Announcement Board. (For samples of the operation panel functions for other amplifier configuration, see p. 14 "Remote Microphone Operation Panel Function.")

Busy indicator (BUSY)

Flashes orange or green when other connected sound source unit is in use.

Orange: The RM-200M cannot operate.

Green: The RM-200M can interrupt the busy unit.

Notes

•Both the Busy indicator and the In-use indicator indicate the ready status for live microphone announcements made after selecting the broadcast zone(s) with the All-zone, Zone, or Group selector key. Their indications have nothing to do with the Recorded message broadcast.

•For priority levels of Remote Microphone live announcements and Recorded messages, see p. 27

"GENERAL-PURPOSE BROADCAST PRIORITY.

[Broadcast volume]

All announcements (including Recorded messages) from the Remote Microphone are broadcast at the maximum volume level regardless of the settings of the master volume control and zone volume control. Also, the amplifier performs relay control to permit the announcements to bypass external speaker attenuators.
