CS 5 DU and CS 5 VU microphone stations. Since the system shown includes only six microphone sta- tions, a single CS 5 PS 12 power supply connected to the Base Unit is enough to power the entire system.
Example 2 above shows a larger discussion system with more than six microphone stations and computer control. To ensure stable powering even if one power supply fails, connect one CS 5 PS 12 power supply to the Base Unit, one CS 5 PS 12 power supply to every sixth microphone station, beginning with the seventh in line counting from the Base Unit, and connect the last microphone station to the second SYSTEM connector on the Base Unit.

Section 3: CS 5 BU Base Unit 3.4 Setting Up the Base Unit Important: • To avoid interference problems, make sure that all audio cables you are going to connect to the Base Unit audio outputs are shorter than 10 feet (3 m).
Section 3: CS 5 BU Base Unit 3.4.2 Configuring the Dip Switches 1. Before powering up, set all front panel level controls to minimum (smallest dot) and set the rear panel dip switches as required. Refer to fig. 3 on page 15 and Table 1 below.
3. Insert the SERVICE CARD supplied with the Base Unit into the card slot on any CS 5 VU microphone station. 4. Press soft buttons 1 and 5 simultaneously on the same microphone station into which you inserted the SERVICE CARD.
Section 3: CS 5 BU Base Unit jack accepts all standard stereo headphones with a ¼" TRS jack plug. • Set the HEADPHONE control (12) just high enough so you can comfortably monitor the main mix. Important: • Excessive headphone listening levels my damage your hearing. So use the HEADPHONE control with care.
Section 4: CS 5 DU Delegate Station 4.1 Introduction The CS5 DU is the basic microphone station for the CS 5 conference system. It provides a microphone connection with talk button, two built-in loudspeakers, and two headphone jacks. The loudspeakers reproduce the main mix ("floor signal") while the headphone jacks allow the user to listen to the floor signal or one of three interpreted languages.
Section 4: CS 5 DU Delegate Station Refer to Talk button: Pressing the talk button once activates the microphone. The status LED above the button will be lit. fig. 4 Pressing the talk button again switches the microphone off. The status LED above the button will go out.

Section 4: CS 5 DU Delegate Station Important: • The amount of gain reduction applied to a cardioid capsule is rather low while hypercardioid and shot- gun microphones will be attenuated more significantly. To avoid feedback problems, make sure to set S1-S2 to the correct positions as per Table 2 on page 19.
63 interpreted languages. In addition, the CS 5 VU incorporates a chip card reader for user identification by conference control software. A liquid- crystal display and five soft buttons allow the user to call the meeting to order, initiate ballots, cast their vote, select lan- guages for the headphone outputs, etc.

The CS 5 IRT 1 and CS 5 IRT 2 infrared radiators are capable of transmitting seven interpretation channels to the CS 5 IRR 7 infrared receivers. The two radiator models are technically identical, except that the CS 5 IRT 2 is larger than and provides about twice the radiation range of the CS 5 IRT 1.
Note: Working out the exact number of infrared radiators needed for optimum room coverage and placing them cor- rectly can be a challenge in some rooms. As a rule of thumb, it is better to use many small (CS 5 IRT 1) radia- tors than only a few large ones (CS 5 IRT 2).
7.2.1 General The CS 5 IRR 7 is a light, portable infrared receiver for use with the CS 5 IRT 1 and CS 5 IRT 2 infrared radiators. It provides seven selectable audio channels, a mini-jack headphone output, volume control, and ON key. The receiver is powered by a standard 6F22 9 V rechargeable battery lasting for up to 13 hours per charge.
• The battery cannot be replaced by the user. When the battery needs replacing, contact your nearest AKG Service Center or AKG Distributor. CS 5 User Manual jack (1). Make sure to turn the VOLUME control (5) to its minimum posi-...
7.3.1 General The CS 5 CU 50 is a combined charger and transport/storage unit in a rugged, lockable flight case. It allows you to store up to 50 CS 5 IRR 7 infrared receivers during a conference and charge the batteries inside them. Each charging slot has its own independent charging control circuit.
3. Do not store receivers in trickle-charging mode in the CU 50 indefinitely. This may reduce the usfeul life of the bat- tery inside the receiver. After a conference has ended, charge all receivers to capacity and switch power to the CU 50 off. CS 5 User Manual - 41 -...
