Glensound Beatrice R4 is a four channel rack mount intercom designed for broadcast, theatre and professional audio applications. It was designed to be very easy to use for the operator and simple to set up for the technician. It includes the basic functionality required for small intercom systems and none of the complex installation requirements associated with larger systems.

A ‘clear microphone amplifier’, designed for communication purposes, is fitted which also has the benefit of a compressor/limiter circuit to help keep levels and intelligibility consistent even when the operator gets overly excited. Twelve Volt Phantom power is available and can be turned on/off as required.

The inbuilt headphone amplifier allows either low or high impedance headphones to be used, and automatically adjusts the output level to match the impedance of headphones in use. The headphone amplifier is stereo and sources can be panned to left or right ears as desired. The headphone amplifier can also drive mono earpieces from its stereo output.

The microphone amplifier has two front panel microphone sources, either an inbuilt front panel mounted electret capsule which provides good voice intelligibility from normal working distances, or a 3-pin XLR female socket. A headphone output is available on a 6.35mm jack socket. The user can select from a single bi-directional headset connection, available as either a 4-pin male XLR plug (Beatrice R4/4M) or 5-pin female XLR socket (Beatrice R4/5F). The front panel features a single rotary encoder for adjusting the overall level in the headphones, individual incoming channel level, and the pan position of each input. There is a single push button for each of the four channels. The function of each button can be configured based on the way the user wishes to work: momentary (channel is only active whilst button is held down), latching (a single press locks or unlocks the button), intelligent (short tap locks and a long press is momentary), or always on (holding button mutes the channel like a cough switch). A double tap of any talk button will send a call signal on that channel.

Four yellow LEDs indicate a channel is receiving a call signal - this will also be heard in the headphones, and this allows the user to see which channel is calling. There are also four red presence LEDs which will indicated which channels are receiving a signal.

There is a ‘large magnet’ Visatron speaker positioned on the front facing panel, with ‘excellent voice intelligibility’ to make communication straightforward and easy to understand.

To make setup of the unit intuitive a display is provided on the front panel. This display provides a simple menu system for setting up such items as: Button Configuration Input Type (Mic/ Line), Microphone Gain, Phantom Power On/Off, Sidetone Level (Own voice in own headphones), Partyline/IFB/Loop Through Mode, Mixing/Cutting of Partyline when user speaks. Each channel can therefore be set separately to be in a separate party line mode if required.

Depending upon how the Dante network has been routed the incoming audio circuits and outgoing circuits can be different locations. The rear also has an RJ45 Neutrik EtherCON for network connection to a PoE switch. This connection can also power the unit and passes audio across a single network cable. There is an internal switch mode power supply on an IEC socket for when PoE is not available.

Included items: 2m RJ45 plug to plug cable
