Features

Clear, Natural Communication
DDS 5900 discussion units enhance group communication, allowing natural conversation to be heard in large meeting
spaces. Gooseneck microphones provide excellent speech isolation, while the LED light ring indicates who is talking. A
24-bit digital audio signal is transported to each discussion unit for real-time monitoring from the loudspeaker. Several
microphone operation modes provide manual and automatic microphone activations.
Sleek, Professional Design
Modern, low-profile design integrates into a variety of spaces, from historic buildings to contemporary boardrooms.
DDS 5900 discussion units are intuitive and functional, reducing clutter and increasing tabletop workspace. Two model
variations are available to support the needs of any event:
• Compact flushmount unit for permanent installation
• Portable unit for quick setup and easy removal
Flexible Setup and Easy Installation
The DDS 5900 system uses a proprietary protocol to transport digital audio, control data, and power over the same cable
(shielded Cat5e). The system supports large events of up to 250 participants, easily scaling with additional components
added inline for a simplified layout topology.
Remote Management
For comprehensive system management, open the browser-based control app using a computer or tablet. The interface
adds system configuration and discussion setup capabilities, enabling an administrator to prepare the discussion with
participant names and seat numbers. The chairman or moderator uses a dedicated page for speaker management during
the discussion.
The system is also compatible with Crestron, AMX, and other control systems. The CU easily interconnects with
teleconferencing equipment and external audio components.
