OVERVIEW
The BEATRICE range of IP intercoms was designed for broadcast, theatre and
professional audio applications.
Our Beatrice intercom system utilises the reliable and proven DanteTM network audio
transmission protocol to allow real time distribution of uncompressed audio across
standard networks. As such the BEATRICE B1 & B2 units are also fully compatible
with other manufacturers’ equipment using the DanteTM protocol. The Beatrice B1 &
B2 are also both AES67 compliant.
All units in the system are designed to be very easy to use for the operator and
simple to setup for the technician. They includes all the basic functionality required
for small intercom systems and none of the overly complex installation requirements
normally associated with large systems.
The name Beatrice was chosen for our intercom range as she was the love of Dante
Alighieri:
‘Dante had fallen in love with another, Beatrice Portinari (known as Bice),
whom he first met when he was only nine.’ Source Wikipedia.

B1 & B2 FRONT PANEL LAYOUT
1. Talk switch
The front panel speak switches allow the operator to talk to the outgoing talk
circuits and hear sidetone. These lever switches can latch on permanently or
be momentarily activated depending on which orientation they are held,
therefore giving the operator immediate tactile feedback regarding the state of
their mic activation.
The speak lever keys also double as call switches, whereby a fast double
click of the speak lever will send a call signal to the network.
The keys are also used during config mode to toggle different features.
2. Incoming level adjust
This pot adjusts the volume of the incoming Dante audio for the headphones
mix. This pot also controls other parameters when the device is in config
mode.
3. Mic activity LED
This Red/Green LED indicates the level of the mic connected to the headset
and other parameters in config mode. It will only illuminate during config
mode.
4. Call LED
The Call LED(s) indicates the presence of an incoming audio from the Dante
network by illuminating solidly when the audio goes above a threshold of -
30dBFS. The Call LED(s) will flash for a few seconds upon receiving a call.
The Call LED(s) will also flash during config mode to indicate the state of the
config mode.
5. Power LED
This LED indicated the power status of the device. This LED also doubles to
indicate the status of the config mode.

B1 & B2 REAR PANEL LAYOUT
1. Network RJ45
The Neutrik Ethercon network socket can connect to both Neutrik Ethercon
and standard RJ45 cables. It is a 100M/bit standard IP network connection. The
status LED flashes to show when data is being correctly communicated
with the attached switch.
This is also how the device is powered using a Power Over Ethernet (PoE)
source. The PoE source can be a mid-span source or a network switch with PoE.
2. Headset connector
Headphone output
This 5 or 4 pin XLR socket accepts headphones from 30 to 1000 Ohms.
It has a unique headphone amplifier that allows it to provide the correct output
level regardless of the headphone impedance and it can also have mono
headphone jacks connected with no adverse effect.
Microphone Input
This is a balanced microphone input sharing the connector with the headphone
output. It can accept dynamic and condenser microphones and phantom power
(12v).
Refer to the end of this manual for wiring information.
3. Phantom power LED
This green LED will illuminate to indicate if +12v phantom power is active or
disabled.
