EXCELLENT AUDIO QUALITY

The Eclipse-32 matrix features industry-leading 24-bit, 48 kHz audio sampling,
yielding a frequency response of 30 Hz to 22 kHz, ± 3 dB. With a signal-to-noise
ratio better than –70 dB, and crosstalk better than –70 dB, the audio among
stations, interfaces, and other system inputs and outputs is clean and distinct.
Level adjustments are in 0.355 dB steps, which will sound completely smooth to
the user.

ROBUST AND COMPATIBLE

The Eclipse-32 matrix houses two independent power supplies. These may be
connected to a main and backup power source for redundancy. In the unlikely
event of the failure of one of these power supplies, the second supply will
automatically take over. The Eclipse 32 is robust even in the face of a major
power outage. In the event of a complete power interruption, the system will
return with all previously set talk and listen paths in place when power is
restored.
The Eclipse-32 matrix is fully compatible with Clear-Com's modular matrix
interface modules and frames. You can transparently interface with telephones,
two-way radios, camera and 2-wire intercoms, 4-wire devices, and audio sources.
Eclipse 32 is also compatible with most of the matrix intercom stations,
including the ICS-92, ICS-2003, 4000 series, and i-stations.

ECLIPSE-32 APPLICATIONS

The Eclipse 32 is the perfect solution for high-quality full-duplex
communications requiring a moderate number of ports in a compact 1-RU form.
With the ability to expand to 64 ports in 2 RU, tasks such as mobile production,
small to mid-sized studio integration, and sports and performing facilities
communications are easily realized. Intelligent linking to other Eclipse 32 and
Eclipse 208 matrices adds to its ability to be the core of a comprehensive
communications system.

SYSTEM BASICS

A complete Eclipse-32 system consists of a central matrix and the remote audio
devices—intercom stations, interfaces, 4-wire equipment—connected to it. Each
element of the Eclipse-32 system is briefly described in this chapter and more
fully described later in this manual and in the Eclipse set of manuals.
The Eclipse set of manuals includes the overview manuals Understanding the
Eclipse System: An Overview and Installing the Eclipse System: An Overview, as well
as individual manuals for each matrix, station, and interface in the system.

MATRIX HARDWARE

The Eclipse-32 matrix is 19 inches wide and one rack unit high (26.9 cm x 48.3
cm). It installs in a standard Electronics Industry Association equipment rack.
No parts of the unit are removable without it being taken out of service.
