Installation manual

Theatre 2
In this example of another typical Theatre installation, the Stage Manager operates a two-channel Main
Station, which also powers the system. Several single-channel beltpacks are connected to Channel A.
The beltpacks are used by props and scenery people. Communication between these people and the
Stage Manager is on Channel A.
Several single-channel beltpacks are also connected to Channel B. The beltpacks are used by sound,
light board, patch panel, and spot operators. Communication between these people and the Stage
Manager is on Channel B.
A mixing board audio output from the stage pickup microphones is connected to the Program Input of
the Main Station. Using the Program Audio to Stage Announce option, this audio is routed out the
Stage Announce output of the Main Station and into an external power amplifier. This amplifier drives
speakers in the Green Room, Hallways, and Dressing Rooms. The people in these rooms will then be
able to hear sound from the stage. The Stage Manager presses the Announce button on the Main Sta-
tion to communicate with the people in these rooms. When this happens, the audio from the stage is
interrupted automatically. As long as the Stage Manager does not have a Talk set, the announcement
is heard only by the people in the Green Room, Hallways, and Dressing Rooms, but not by the people
on intercom Channels A or B.
