SONODYNE SYNC 3001

Product overview

The SONODYNE SYNC 3001 is the chairman base unit of the SYNC IP based digital conference system, with a 2.23 inch OLED display, illuminated touch buttons, a priority button and approval of delegate speech requests.

The SYNC 3001 is the base of the chairman conference unit: the SYNC 2001 (500 mm) or SYNC 2002 (420 mm) gooseneck microphone screws onto it to form the complete unit. It is powered by the SYNC 1001 controller over a T-type 8 core cable shielded by full-line aluminium foil, and its hand in hand connection supports hot plugging. The chairman unit is not limited by the number of speakers, can be connected anywhere in the loop, and the system supports several chairman units at the same time.

Seven touch buttons

From left to right: button 1 (service request for tea, or voting choice Yes), button 2 (service request for pen, or Abstain), the PRIORITY button (press to switch off all active delegate microphones, long press to mute them temporarily), the microphone on / off button with indicating light, button 3 (service request for help, approval of a delegate's request in APPLY mode, or voting choice No), and buttons 4 and 5, which work by long press together with buttons 1, 2 and 3 for service requests and voting.

Approving delegate requests

When the SYNC 1001 is set to APPLY mode and a delegate presses the microphone button, the delegate's light ring turns green and the request waits for the chairman. When the chairman presses button 3, the request is granted and the ring turns red: the delegate's microphone is live.

Connections

The rear carries an 8 pin DIN standard female socket for the DIN-8P cable; the side carries the 3.5 mm earphone jack and the earphone volume control. The top has the socket for the SYNC 2001 / 2002 gooseneck.
