Communication Technology DPS400 paging mic

DPS400 single zone paging microphone system

Communication Technology DPS400 self-contained desk paging microphone with message store.

Completely self-contained, and using store n forward technology, the DPS400 can directly replace existing desk paging microphones with these key additional features: a) enables paging announcements to be made without acoustic feedback, as DPS402 .b) Independent from a) to record and store up to 3 promotional messages and to automatically repeat them at selected time intervals until manually cancelled.

DPS 400: Single zone paging microphone with multiple stored announcement facility

This is identical in function to DPS 402 except that a facility to record and store up to 3 announcements that require individual or collective timed repeat is incorporated. Examples would be to advertise ‘special offers’ in stores and supermarkets or to announce a delay in flight departure at an airport.

Timed repeats

The user can select a repeat time of 5, 15, 30 or 45 minutes between replays or they can be remotely triggered at any time, for an evacuation message for example.

Simple to operate

To record an announcement for repeated use, the user simply selects ‘ENABLE’ mode and proceeds with the announcement, which can be up to 1 minute in duration and manually cancelled at any time.

DPS400 series of paging microphones

Store 'n' Forward technology is a real step forward for paging in busy environments or for broadcasting repeating announcements for example, in foodstores and transport termini.

Using the same housings as the standard DPM range, the DPS400 Series present no visible challenge to the operator. Because any 'live' announcement is time delayed before being broadcast, acoustic feedback is eliminated. The Paging Microphone is available in two basic versions:

DPS400: With Message Store. Completely self-contained, DPS400 can directly replace existing desk paging microphones with these key additional features: a) enables paging announcements to be made without acoustic feedback, as DPS402. b) Independent from a) to record and store up to 3 promotional messages and to automatically repeat them at selected time intervals until manually cancelled.

DPS402: A simple paging microphone incorporating Store'n'Forward technology to beat acoustic feedback problems, with automatic self-cancelled repeat.
Announcements may be pre-set on installation to be automatically repeated one, two, three or four times, after which they are self-cancelled.
Announcements can be up to 2 minutes in duration
An announcement can be manually cancelled at any time, including during the original recording, if an error is made or the operator is interrupted.
An internal chime can be selected to pre-announce any messages. Alternatively, any pre-announcement chime already included in the host system can be triggered by DPS402; the announcement is automatically paused until the chime equence is completed.
DPS402 works with electronic or VOX accessed amplifiers. The microphone output can be at 'normal' or line levelby 'D' pin selection.
If the host system is multi-tasked - various inputs - and is equipped with 'system busy' outputs, DPS402 will not broadcast whilst the system is in another use; if a priority use activates during a DPS402 announcement this will override the announcement which will recommence from its beginning after priority use ceases.
