Channel #:
The options for the <Channel#> portion of the serial strings are ―1-8‖ since each Base station can
only control up to 8 channels of an Executive HD microphone system. The <channel#> corresponds
to the physical channel that the microphone is paired to on the front of each Base Station.
A <Channel#> of ―A‖ will enable or disable the Master Mute mode. This command must only be sent
to the Base Station that is set to ―Local‖. ―Remote‖ Base Stations will not accept the command.
Examples:
The following strings would unmute microphone channel 3:
Command: set mute ch 3 0 Return: val mute ch 3 0
The following strings would turn on the Master Mute:
Command: set mute ch A 1 Return: val mute ch A 1
The following strings would retrieve the battery status of mic 5 @ 100%:
Command: get batt ch 5 Return: val batt ch 5 4
Note: All return strings will automatically populate when the corresponding change to the
microphone takes place.
DB9 Pin-out:

Pin 3 = Tx
Pin 5 = GND
Pin 7 = RTS
Pin 8 = CTS
Using the Executive HD Base Station with a DSP
The Executive HD system is designed to control the mutes of a DSP directly in the event that a
control system is not present. The Base Station must be configured for the correct ―Serial Control
Processor‖, using the Executive HD Control Panel software, in order to send the mute commands to
the DSP. In addition, each DSP model must be configured differently to receive the correct mute
commands.
Clearone Converge & XAP
When using the Base Station along with a Clearone DSP, you must select the corresponding DSP
product line from the ―Serial Control Processor‖ menu in the Revolabs HD Control Panel software.
You must also set the RS-232 or Network settings of the Base Station to match the communication
settings of the Clearone DSP. The Base Station will only control the mutes of the DSP it is connected
to. A 4 channel Base Station will control microphone channels 1-4 of the DSP, and an 8 channel
Base Station will control microphone channels 1-8 of the DSP.
