Structuring the SDC 8000 system

Calculating the voltage drop on the system cables
Every meter of system cable and every console in a string causes a voltage
drop. Thus, the further back a console is located in a string, the less voltage
it receives.
Delivery includes a Microsoft Excel document with which you can easily
calculate the voltage drops on the individual sections of a string. In this
way, you know even before setting up the conference system whether it
will work or not.
Structuring an interpretation system
If your SDC 8000 system comprises interpreter consoles, these are usually
installed in acoustically isolated interpreter booths so that the interpreters
cannot disturb each other or the audience.
One booth with a team of interpreters is normally required per target
language. Within one language team, interpreters will take turns every
twenty minutes or so, in order to give each other an adequate break and
maintain a high level of quality.
With the SDC 8000 system, a maximum of eight interpreter consoles can
be installed per booth.
Within a booth, each interpreter console has to be assigned a number, with
the numbering starting always from 1.
The interpreter consoles can be connected anywhere in the cable strings.
