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

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 +8 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.
