RM-702 TWO-CHANNEL REMOTE STATION
1-2
DESCRIPTION
The RM-702 is one of a series of professional intercom stations specifically
designed for the broadcast industry. This two-channel, one-rack-space station is
ideal for ENG and EFP trucks, production studio consoles, and small TV
facilities. The station can be tailored to your needs through its programmable
talk button options. The RM-702 is compatible with all Clear-Com party-line
intercoms.
The station also incorporates an internal single-channel program interrupt
system (IFB). When activated, one or more stations can interrupt the program to
a talent with Clear-Com’s wired or wireless talent receivers. Direct connection to
Clear-Com’s IFB system is easily accomplished through a 1/4 in. (0.62 cm)
phone jack on the rear panel intended to directly connect to a Clear-Com
MA-704.
The RM-702 remote speaker/headset station allows selectable two-channel
talking and/or listening on a Clear-Com intercom system. The operator can
communicate on either of the channels separately or on both at once.
Illuminated dual-action talk buttons provide electronic momentary or latching
capability. The latching feature may be disabled if desired. The talk buttons can
also be remote controlled for footswitch or other use. Monitoring activity is
possible through the speaker or headset or both at once.
The RM-702 features visual call signaling to attract the attention of operators
who have removed their headsets or turned off their speakers.
This station accepts dynamic headsets. The station accepts two different lengths
of plug-in gooseneck microphones, 9 in. (22.86 cm) and 18 in. (45.72 cm), to
allow for different operating locations/positions.
The station’s speaker can be turned on or off by a convenient front panel switch
when private conversation via the headset is desired. A speaker dipping circuit
provides an additional amount of acoustic output before feedback. This feature
helps to reduce feedback when stations are placed in close proximity to each
other. The station accepts a balanced program input for monitoring external
audio in the headset or speaker. Individual sidetone controls for each channel
allow the operator to vary the level of his/her own voice as heard in the
headset/speaker.
Studio announce allows control of a paging speaker in a studio. A front panel
button activates this function and an associated relay.
The RM-702 installs in a standard 19 in. (48.26 cm) equipment rack, using only
one rack space. The station provides two 3-pin, XLR connectors for input and
loop-through on each channel.
OPERATION
Normal operation of the RM-702 requires access only to the front panel controls.
For intercom operation, set the listen level controls for each channel to the desired
level and press the talk switches when talking. If a headset is being used, set the
sidetone control for the receiving channel for the desired amount of sidetone in
