Call Funcon

Stage Announce (SA)
The Stage Announce (SA) funcon in the Tempest BaseStaon is used to send a wireless BeltStaon microphone signal to
a dedicated external audio output. When a wireless user presses the STAGE buon on the BeltStaon, their audio is re-
routed from the selected intercom channel(s) and is sent to the BaseStaon rear panel SA connector. In addion, a relay
closure contact is available on the RELAY connector on the back of the BaseStaon. Pressing the STAGE buon enables the
headset microphone, regardless of the status of the Talk buons. If enabled, all BeltStaons can access this feature.
The Stage Announce output connector is an XLR-3M. The Stage Announce connector is balanced and transformer isolated
and outputs nominal line level audio from -12 to +12 dBu. The Stage Announce connector output level can be adjusted at
the “Stage Announce” menu screen, under “Wired Intercom Sengs.”
In addion, the Stage buon may be congured to also control an addional relay assigned to the users BeltStaon. See
the GPO Relay secon for more details.
On the BaseStaon, an acve Talk buon is not required to send a Call signal, and
the Call signal is routed to the channel selected for monitoring. On the BeltStaon, a
Call signal is sent only when the Talk buon is enabled, and only on the channel(s)
selected for Talk.
