Overview of the components of the

SDC 8000 system

An SDC 8000 conference and interpretation system consists of the following components:

yConference consoles for delegates and chairmen

yInterpreter consoles

yCentral units

ySystem cables

yIf required, a software control for the conference and interpretation system

The conference consoles

The conference console features a built-in loudspeaker, allowing the participant to directly hear all audio information, e.g. speeches, presentations or any other audio material. This decentralized “loudspeaker system” ensures excellent sound quality at a pleasant volume throughout the entire room.

The console’s electret microphone transmits every word in excellent audio quality. The red signal light ring on the microphone serves as an indicator of who is allowed to take the floor.

The conference consoles are available in six different versions with varying levels of functions. Via special consoles with voting function, the conference participants can participate in voting sessions from the consoles.

The conference consoles are connected in series. One cable string can comprise up to 15 conference consoles and up to six cable strings (i.e. up to 90 conference consoles) can be connected to a single central unit. You can, however, interconnect several central units to set up conference systems with up to 900 consoles.
