Versatile Headset or Speaker Station

The KB-702 remote speaker station provides two channels of party-line communications, with the ability to talk and/or listen on the selected channel. The user can listen via the integral speaker, or may use a headset or telephone-style handset – and can talk via a headset mic, a telephone handset, or a push-to-talk microphone. Two-channel-selectable, full-duplex speaker station mounts in a U.S.-standard 4-gang electrical box for wall, console, or portable use. The microprocessor-controlled station features visual and audible call signaling, momentary/latching talk button, balanced program input, and standard or 4-wire and TW connection with optional daughter board.

Microprocessor-controlled logic and switching yields a feature-rich intercom station in a compact format. Electronic switching for the talk button, blue-color LED (on), amber color LED (off), permits momentary or latching operation. For call signaling, a bright LED lights when a call is activated on a connected intercom channel. A defeatable audible call signal, with level control, is also provided. Separate level controls are provided for intercom level and for balanced program input. A local program source may be fed to the station, allowing the user to monitor that source while remaining in contact on the intercom system. The balanced program input can also be used in conjunction with the stage-announce output of a main station to provide a paging interrupt, allowing paging at the KB station even if the intercom volume control is turned down.

A set of option dip switches is located at the top of the circuit board. Switches are provided for mic-latch disable (momentary-only talk), long-line operation, channel selection, call signal tracking, and audible call signaling.

This versatile station may be wall or console mounted in a standard U.S. 4-gang electrical box, or may be mounted in the optional V-Box for desktop, surface-mount, or portable applications. It may be used with the optional 4-wire or TW (two channels on a single mic cable) daughter boards. On the TW board, the stations become plug in compatible with a Clear Com TW system. The 4-wire board creates separate send and receive circuits, so that the station may be attached to fiber-optic lines or other audio routing systems with 4-wire connections. The stations are powered by the intercom line or by a local power supply when used with the optional 4-wire daughter board.
