Installation manual

Master Station: A Remote Station which requires AC power to operate, and cannot power other

stations

Multi-Channel: More than one channel

Party Line (P.L.): Intercom system where all people talking on the system can talk or listen to each

other simultaneously. Also called conferencing.

Point to Point: One path to one person.

Program: Audio source that is fed into the intercom channels.

Program Interrupt: Disconnects the audio source while the talk button on the Main Station is pushed.

(IFB)

Remote Mic Kill (RMK): The ability for certain Main Stations to shut off all microphones on beltpacks

in a system.

Remote Station: Like the belt pack, this would be any of the products connected to the intercom line

that allow duplex or half-duplex conversation, but do not contain a Power Supply.

Sidetone: This is your own voice heard in your earphone as you are speaking.

Stage Announce (SA): Redirects output of the Main Station's microphone to an external destination

(such as a PA system).

Station: A station is connected to one or more channels. For example, if you have six people who

need to hear one director, you have a seven-station single-channel need. If the same director needs to

speak privately to any one of the six, add a second channel. You now have a seven-station, two-

channel system.

Termination: Passive network that is connected in each channel, usually on the Power Supply or Main

Station.
