{"product_id":"glensound-paradiso-dante-aes67-commentators-box","title":"Glensound PARADISO Dante AES67 Commentators Box","description":"\u003cp\u003eParadiso is a commentators box for 3 commentators. It can be used by itself to provide the commentary facilities alongside an OB truck for small events or multiple Paradisos can be used at large events that require Worldwide broadcast coverage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAudio links between the Paradiso and other equipment are by Dante (AES67 compliant) complete with redundant copper \u0026amp; fibre links. Analogue I\/O and AES3 I\/O are also provided directly from the unit for local connections and\/ or another layer of redundancy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Paradiso has been designed to be intuitive \u0026amp; easy to use for Commentators’ who would rather be talking about the game than working out how the equipment works, and is also built to our exacting rugged \u0026amp; robust standard to make it a reliable piece of broadcast equipment for the busy engineer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e8 off Audio Volume Controls for Each Commentators with Pan\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOn the top panel are 24 rotary headphone volume encoders. Internally they are connected to a DSP matrix and the sources can be set depending upon your preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNext to each encoder is an ePaper display which provides a visual indication of both the position of the volume control and the current panning position of the source in the commentators headphones.\u003cbr\u003eTurning the encoder adjusts the volume, and simultaneously pressing down and turning the encoder adjusts the pan.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eePaper Displays\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe ePaper displays provide an indication of headphone volume and pan position. They also display the name of the associated audio source\/ destination. The display name can be custom set or taken from the routed source name from within the Dante network. The bottom ePaper display that has no associated switch or encoder can be programmed to display a users name, but this is overridden temporarily when the associated inputs gain control is adjusted and the display shows the gain in dB of the input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePeak Programme Meter (PPM)\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe source of the PPM can be customised but is normally the outgoing programme mix. When a front panel gain control is adjusted the PPM automatically shows just the level from that input.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRobust Mic on and Talkback Buttons\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThere are 4 off round bright illuminated talkback buttons and 1 large square illuminated mic on button for each of the 3 commentators. The audio circuits that the outputs of these switches are routed to can be fully configured. The operation of these switches (momentary, latching etc) and the interaction of these switches (i.e. pressing a talkback switches mutes the main mic) can be fully configured by the windows 11 app.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAudio Inputs\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThere are 3 balanced audio inputs one for each commentator. Each of these inputs can be selected to accept a Microphone or Line level source. 48V phantom power can be turned on if in microphone mode.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA very high quality remote controlled microphone amplifier has been used followed by exception analogue to digital converter to make the audio quality the best that it can possibly be.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGain Control\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe gain control is a rotary encoder with a clear plastic shaft. When the gain control is operated the ePaper display above the control indicates the current amount of gain being applied and the front panel PPM automatically solos the source to allow unambiguous gain settings. The clear plastic shaft has an internal red LED that is illuminated if an input level is close to clipping, thus allowing quick diagnostics of a gain level that has been set too high.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIntelligent Headphone Output Circuits\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eOur unique intelligent headphone output circuits automatically adjust the output level to suit both high and low impedance headphones. Traditional broadcast high impedance headphones require a large output level to produce enough volume in the headphones, whereas low impedance headphones require much less level to produce a proportional output level. This means that whatever headphones you connect to the Paradiso you’ll enough audio output for even the loudest of environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePlus our headphone amplifiers can accept mono as well as stereo headphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAux In\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eIn addition to the three commentators inputs there is a 4th ‘Auxiliary’ Input. This is provided on a stereo 3.5mm jack socket and is suitable for connection to the outputs of domestic recording devices such as a mobile phone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRedundant Powering Options\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe Pardiso can be powered from any of 4 different sources:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e1) Wide range Mains Input (suitable fo Worlwide use)\u003cbr\u003e2) PoE on the Primary CAT5 Network link\u003cbr\u003e3) PoE on the Secondary CAT5 Network link\u003cbr\u003e4) External 12V DC\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePrimary \u0026amp; Secondary Fibre Connections\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTwo industry standard Neutrik Opticons are fitted for fibre connectivity to the IP network.
