2.2. How to Operate the System
2.2.1 Quinta CU Control Unit
The Quinta CU control unit is the heart of the system. It is used to control the delegate and chairman
microphone units. With one control unit, a maximum of four people can speak simultaneously
(e.g. three delegates and one chairman). The radio transmission is in the triple-band operation
(2.4 / 5.2 / 5.8 GHz frequency band).
Delivery state: Conference mode
Where to place the control unit
• If you do not use remote antennae, place the Quinta CU control unit in the room where the
meeting takes place. If you use remote antennae, place the antennae in the conference room.
• Avoid shadowing effect of the antennae, especially by metallic surfaces.
• A free line of sight between the Quinta MU microphone units, Quinta TB boundary microphones and
Quinta TH handheld transmitter and the antennae of the Quinta CU control unit is essential for the
operation.
How to connect the antennae
• Connect the antennae to the antenna connections . Please note that for diversity operation both
antennae have to be connected! A weighting circuit is used to make sure that the better antenna
signal is received.
• For stand-alone operation we recommend using the supplied CA Q 11 angled rod antennae.
• The Quinta CU control unit can also be operated with remote antennae. We recommend extremely
low attenuation connecting cables which are 10 m [32.8 ft.] or 20 m [65.6 ft.] long. Please note
that the antennae have to be installed remotely.
