16-Channel interpreter desk with loudspeaker
(LBB 3222/04)
1.1Introduction
The LBB 3222/04 6-channel interpreter desk provides listening and speaking facilities for interpreters using the CCS 800, CCS 400 or non-BOSCH discussion systems. Up to 12 desks can be connected to an Integrus transmitter using the Integrus audio input and interpreters module (LBB 3422/20). It can distribute up to 6 outgoing languages. An ‘auto-floor’-feature is incorporated for relay interpretation. This allows a less well-known floor language to be translated by one interpreter into a language familiar to all other inter- preters and relayed as the auto-floor.
The LBB 3222/04 has an integral loudspeaker and is supplied with a microphone incorporating an illuminat- ed status ring to warn everyone in the booth that the microphone is active. Two outgoing channels are pro- vided, A and B, switchable by means of a channel select key.
Note: Flashing indicators warn that the language channel occupied by this desk is also being used by one or more other desks.
1.2 Front panel controls
The desk has the following front-panel controls and indicators (see figure 1.1):
Figure 1.1:
1.Microphone activating key - 2-position toggle switch for activating the microphone. An interlock facility can be enabled (using the under-panel con- trols) that prevents the microphone being activated if the desk’s outgoing language distribution channel is occupied by another desk.
2.Microphone status indicators - Two red LEDs to indicate that the microphone is active.
3.Microphone mute key - A non-locking push-but- ton to temporarily mute the microphone. When pressed, the status indicators and status ring are ‘off’, but the outgoing language distribution channel remains occupied by the desk.
4.Microphone - Gooseneck microphone with inte- gral status indicator ring.
