STATION HUB
There are three Station Hub Interface Units, for use in a Control
Room (Studio), Talks Studio and CTA.
The Control Room Interface incorporates both balanced and
unbalanced front panel inputs to Synergy’s MPU, as well as tie-lines
from the CTA. A Lumion controller interface allows direct
connection of a Mic Live Indicator Panel.
The front of the CTA Interface incorporates a number of pairs of
balanced jacks, arranged as a patch-panel, providing access to
key points in the audio signal chain, as well as tie-lines to control
rooms.
The Talks Studio Interface allows connection of four studio mics,
Guest Remote Control Units and studio speaker outputs, from
the Synergy MPU. A Lumion controller interface allows direct
connection of a Mic Live Indicator Panel. In the RS3 package,
two interfaces are required, so that the Talks Studio may work
with either control room.
