Overview

FSII-Base-II

The FSII-BASE-II is a base station for the wireless FreeSpeak II 1.9 GHz and 2.4 GHz active transceiver antennas and beltpacks. The FSII-BASE-II has four 2-wire connections for analog partyline connection, four 4-wire audio connections and four displays with soft keys. Dedicated stage announce (SA) output and program audio input are provided.

Wireless

FreeSpeak II Base Station supports the FreeSpeak II family of wireless intercom, including 1.9 GHz and 2.4 GHz frequency bands which can be concurrently deployed on an FreeSpeak II Base Station system. FreeSpeak antenna transceivers, connected via E1 CAT/Fiber plug and play cable connections can be modularly added for coverage and capacity of beltpacks which can roam between overlapping transceivers. FreeSpeak beltpacks can have their keys assigned to any Channel, Group or Interface Port on the system.

Partyline, Analog Audio & Control - Interfacing

FreeSpeak II Base Station can interface to a variety of 3rd party audio and intercom systems with audio interface ports assignable to any Channel, Group, FreeSpeak Beltpack and FreeSpeak II Base Station keyset on the system:

• 4-Wire provides the ability to connect analog line-level audio inputs and outputs to FreeSpeak II Base Station.
• 2-Wire Partyline allows interfacing to existing analog partyline intercom system infrastructures or to add Partyline user stations or interfaces using FreeSpeak II Base Station’s built in power supply.
• Program Audio Input provides a line level analog audio input, on an XLR connection, with assignability to any keyset or channel.
• Stage Announce Output a line level analog audio output, on a XLR connection with assignability to any keyset or channel.

    GPIO provides Inputs and Relay Outputs for system control. Inputs allow activation of audio crosspoints while Outputs can be activated upon key presses, audio crosspoints and or call signals configurable in FreeSpeak II Base Station’s Logic Event configurator.

Intercom User Station

FreeSpeak II Base Station’s front panel user station provides four keysets assignable to any Channel, Group, FreeSpeak beltpack, Program Audio or Stage Announce on the FreeSpeak II Base Station system. The user station is provisioned with a headset connection in addition to All Call, Stage Announce and Remote Mic Kill.

System Configuration & Monitoring

FreeSpeak II Base Station front panel menus provide the ability to configure system configuration using an interface consisting of high contrast screens coupled with tactile rotary encoders and buttons. With the front panel, the status and utilization of all transceivers and beltpacks can be monitored. FreeSpeak II Base Station’s Core Configuration Manager™ (CCM) is an integrated, browser-based configuration utility enabling rapid setup, configuration and monitoring of the system.

Scalability 

FreeSpeak II Base Station is available for 5 or 25 beltpack system with a field upgrade option.
