The Pro Intercom RSM300 is a sub-master station powered by the system’s master station (MS301) and is connected to one or more of the MS301’s communications circuits. There are a variety of ways in which it may be used. The most common is to provide the manager of a sub-group of the technical staff with an RSM300, provide a connection to the Master Station, and have the rest of the sub-group connected to the RSM300. In this way, communications among the members of the sub-group are selective to themselves and do not add to the cumulative clutter on one of the main circuits. Because the RSM300 has 3 circuits and is using only one to communicate with the Master Station, it can have two separate sub-groups of its own. For example, a Lighting Director may want to have his automated lighting staff on one circuit, and the follow-spot operators on another.
A second application for the RSM300 is to provide one or more sub-masters which include all of the circuits and functions of the MS301 Master Station, lacking only the ability to control the distribution of Program Audio. This is done by simply connecting each of the circuits of the RSM300 to one of the circuits of the MS301 where each will share communications with the stations connected to that circuit. The operators would be sharing the activities of the main director. This could be useful in a very large system where the Main Director has assistants who have physically different positions and views.
Features
• The 'Talk' buttons are either momentary (press and hold) or latching (tap once, tap again to shut off)
• A signal LED is provided for each circuit should it be turned down or off, and pressing the signal button lights the signal lamps on the other stations connected to the same circuit
• Both dynamic and electret microphones can be used, either as part of a headset or as gooseneck mic
• The selector button is marked ‘Mic Type’ and an LED announces the status
• The RSM300 can be used to adjust the volume in your headset, or lower the level of your own voice coming from the speaker, thus making hands-free use possible
