2 About punQtum Q-Series Digital Partyline System punQtum Q-Series digital partyline system is a digital, easy to use, full-duplex communications solution for theater and broadcast applications as well as for all kinds of cultural events like concerts, etc. It is an all-new, network-based partyline system which combines all standard partyline system features and more with the advantages of modern IP networks.
4 Getting Started The Q110 Beltpack is delivered with a factory default system configuration and will work “out of the box”. The Beltpack supports monaural headsets with a dynamic or electret microphone. 4.1 Powering Up The Beltpack is powered by any PoE-compliant (IEEE 802.3af, 3at or 3bt) power supply. Regular PoE switches or PoE injectors can be used as well as a punQtum Q210P Speakerstation or another Q110 Beltpack.
4.2 Multicast Audio Streams If you do not have any other audio streams present in your network infrastructure, you will most probably be fine. If you are using punQtum Q-Series digital partyline systems in networks together with other audio network streaming technologies such as Ravenna, DANTE or other multicast-based streaming technologies, you need to make sure that your network infrastructure is capable of supporting IGMP (Internet Group Management Protocol) and that IGMP is correctly set up...
5 Using your Beltpack Once you have connected your Beltpack to the system, the Beltpack will use the defined Role from its memory. A Beltpack that is “new out of the box” will have a factory default Role. This way all Beltpacks will be able to find each other without the need of the Q-tool configuration software.
If the CALL signal remains active for more than two seconds the display will flash with a larger section of the Channel. At the same time, a different buzzer signal will be heard. The volume of the buzzer signal can be changed individually on each device, see 5.2 5.1.5 TALK Button operation modes (E) The TALK button offers three operation modes.
5.1.9 Partyline system device count (I) Shows the number of units participating in your partyline system. If the symbol is shown in red, your device is the only one in the system. 5.1.10 Channel User Count (J) Shows the number of users available on this channel. If the symbol is shown in red, you are the only user of this channel.
Master volume sets the overall volume for your Beltpack. Program volume controls the volume of your program input. Buzzer volume controls the volume of the CALL signals. Sidetone volume controls the volume of your own voice. If your Beltpack is in normal operation mode, the rotary encoders will control the listening volume of the active channels.
SYSTEM MUTE disables all CALL and TALK functions and mutes all program input signals and stays active as long as the Button is pressed (PUSH behavior). If System Mute is active you will be notified by an orange MUTED indicator. 5.3.4 System Silent function System silent stops the speaker of the Q210P Speakerstation and any other (future) devices from making sound.
6 Menu operation The Role and I/O setting define most of the settings for the user. Some of the items can be changed by the user via the Menu. If items are locked in Q-Tool then they will not show. Use this button to enter the menu, navigate thru the menu and to select an item.
6.1 Lock Device Role settings for your device may include an option to lock the front panel using a 4 digit pin. The pin is defined per Role in Q-Tool configuration software. The lock device menu entry is only shown if the selected Role has an active lock front panel option.
6.4 Display 6.4.1 Brightness Brightness lets you control the backlight of the Display. 6.4.2 Dark Screen Saver If the Dark Screen Saver is enabled, it will be activated automatically and deactivated by any button press or encoder turn. It will show a very low brightness Q logo when active.
6.5.1 Microphone Gain You can adjust the gain of your microphone from 0 dB to 67 dB. A VU-meter shows you an indication while you adjust the gain. Speak into your microphone and adjust the level to be in the upper green and orange range. Try to avoid the red level to minimize distortion. 6.5.2 Microphone Type Electret microphones require a bias voltage for correct operation.
Vox release time determines how long your speech signal will be passed on to the system once the signal level goes below the VOX threshold level. This is used to avoid chopping your speech. VOX release time can be set from 500 milliseconds to 5 seconds in steps of 100 milliseconds.
