Page 10: Overview
OVERVIEW The BEATRICE LUCIA allows Dante and 2 Wire intercom units to communicate with one another and is available in 1 and 2 module versions. Each module can be set to interface with either the Clear-Com or RTS single channel party-line (two wire) intercom standard or the RTS two audio channel partyline standard. -

LUCIA Party-Line Circuits PARTY-LINE CIRCUIT A CH 1 CH 2 AUDIO TO Clear-Com Tecpro PARTY-LINE 400 Ohms NULL AUDIO FROM PARTY-LINE MODE POWER IMPEDANCE NULL 1. Clear-Com Tecpro Mode Indicator This indicates the party-line is set to interface with the Clear-Com two wire standard (which is also used by Tecpro (amongst others)). - Page 13 7. 400 Ohm Impedance Indicator When the unit is in RTS Wet mode and this LED is off, the audio on pin 2 has a line impedance of 200 ohms. When the 400 Ohm LED is on the audio on pin 2 has a line impedance of 400 ohms. This allows two power supplies each with an output impedances of 400 ohm to be run in parallel on the party-line maintaining a 200 ohm line impedance for the audio signal.
- Page 14 13. Audio from Party-Line CH 1 Indicator This indicates the level of the audio being sourced from the party-line intercom XLR pin 3 and sent to the Dante/ AES67 network. When the null process is underway, in conjunction with the send indicator (12) this acts as a progress bar indicating how much of the null process remains.

Page 20: Connecting The Beatrice Unit To A Dante Network
CONNECTING THE BEATRICE UNIT TO A DANTE NETWORK The Beatrices are network audio devices utilizing the reliable and versatile Dante audio over IP protocol. Dante is a proprietary system (although very widely used) the originators of which are Audinate. The information below is only meant as a very basic guide. Full details of the power of Dante network audio and instructions for using it can be found at www.audinate.com Getting Dante Controller... -

Page 22: Device Not Showing Up In Dante Controller
Device not showing up in Dante Controller If your Dante device does not show up in Dante Controller then the most likely issue is that the device’s IP Address is not appropriate for your network. A) It maybe that the device is set to obtain an IP address automatically using DHCP (this is the default configuration) and your network is setup for fixed IP addresses only and does not have a DHCP server. -
Page 23: Aes67 Mode
Beatrice can be set to AES67 mode for interaction with other AES67 devices. Please note however that Glensound are relying on Audinate’s AES67 interface and are unfortunately not able to provide full AES67 support for the unit. AES67 support should be sought directly from Audinate. -
