Netherlands-based ASL, a supplier of advanced digital and analog intercom systems, has announced the addition of four new tabletop-format speaker stations to its expanding Digital Intercom line.
The DS 830 Speaker Station, an 8-channel unit mounted in a smartly styled 3U cabinet, will debut at ASL Digital’s stand 11.F58 at IBC and at ASL’s UK distributor Polar Audio’s stand F4 at PLASA09. Three more companion tabletop units – offering 16, 24 and 32 channel capacities – will also be available in the near future/in early 2010.
“Many theatres and concert halls have expressed a strong preference for the ground breaking technologies in our new digital system,” notes Susan McLohon, ASL Intercom’s director of sales and marketing. They are pleased that they can specify either tabletop enclosures or 1U rack mount units, or even select optional 19” rack mounting of the new 3U tabletop versions.”
Slated for active demonstration at both IBC and PLASA, the DS 830 Speaker Station offers a full menu of features in an 8-channel format suited to a range of production applications – either full access to smaller systems or selective access in larger installations. Instant TALK and LISTEN access is provided for 8 user groups, and each unit may be custom tailored to specific needs via the eight “soft” function keys. User programmable functions include CALL TO TALK, SPEAKER ON/OFF, REMOTE MIC KILL (all or group), PTP RECEIVE DISABLE, and STAGE ANNOUNCE.
Like all ASL Digital Intercom user stations, the DS 830 gives operators easy access to exclusive features such as text messaging and PTP (person-to-person) calling to any speaker station or beltpack unit in the system.
Additional features common to the DS 830 and the three other forthcoming speaker stations include adjustable button illumination, GPIO connections, program input, and extension speaker jack.
The four new tabletop speaker stations are integral parts of the forward-looking ASL Digital Intercom concept, which leverages the latest core digital networking technologies to afford extraordinary system configuration flexibility. System configuration for each production is instantly recallable as a pre-set, and the refreshingly simple configuration software can be mastered without specialized training. ASL Digital Intercom networks can be configured in star, in-line or daisy-chain topologies, and all connections employ standard Cat-5 cabling for easy installation.
