GS-CCU003 & GS-CU007 SIMPLE
COMMENTATORS SYSTEM WITH ROUTING
This system was like many of our units built to meet a particular customers
requirements. It's simple features with inbuilt routing make it useful for
off-tube work and permanent studio installations.
It is a 2 part system with 1 x 19 inch 1RU base station and 2 x small
commentators' boxes. Each of the commentators' boxes connects to the base
station with a cat5 cable (for audio and data) and a separate 4 pin XLR cable
(for power).

COMMENTATORS BOX
Each commentators box provides the facilities for
1 commentator.
Each commentator can select to speak to the program output or a talkback output.
These outputs can be routed to a number of locations depending on the settings
of the base station. The operation of the program/ talkback switches can be set
by the user for details
see file wp24-71.
There are 3 headphone level controls on each commentators box. These are marked
PGM, SIDETONE & TB. Each of these signals can be sent via front panel switches
to the left, right or both sides of the commentators headphone feed. How many
audios are present on each of these level controls will depend upon the routing
that has been set up in the base station.
BASE STATION
The GS-CCU003 is a 1RU 19
inch base station. It is mains powered (100 - 240 volts).
It is easy to operate as it has just 12 large illuminated front panel switches.
These switches are broken down to 2 sets of 6, with each set being the routing
for 1 of the commentators' boxes. When a switched is pressed both the send and
return audio feeds from that location are routed to the relevant commentator.
