As such the BEATRICE R16 is fully compatible with other manufacturers’ equipment using the Dante and\/ or AES67 protocols.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 1RU rackmount intercom was designed to be very easy to use for the operator and simple to set up for the technician. It includes all the basic functionality required for small intercom systems and none of the overly complex installation requirements normally associated with large systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlso Available in AES67\/Ravenna version. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e16 Channels Of Intercom\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOne single user connected to the unit can listen to and communicate with 16 separate locations on the network.
