These days, more and
more educational institutions such as colleges, universities
and high schools are expected to provide downloadable
recordings - podcasts - of lectures and classes, for
students to access at all times on the local area network.
These recordings are typically taken from the
classroom/lecture theatre sound system and saved to a
computer in real time.
Problem
1: Getting the
correct recording level is hard, given that the level
requirements are different to those of speakers.
Problem
2: Maintaining a
steady input level to the computer requires continual
monitoring to prevent digital overload.
The
Solution
The new
UniFace 'Universal
Interface' from ARX:
A user-friendly way of adapting existing systems to be
‘podcast-ready’ by simply inserting it into the
existing signal chain.
Automatic
Gain Control
Two Balanced XLR
Line input channels feeding into the Automatic Gain Control
circuitry taken from our unique UniMIX.
Specially tailored parameters ensure that levels remain
constant, irrespective of Mic placement and user
technique.
The result is a consistent
level for the recording, removing the need for fulltime
monitoring and the risk of overloading and distortion.
The Recording Outputs are stereo balanced XLR
connectors, transformer isolated to prevent ground loops and
associated noise.
For the room system,
the UniFace has 2 Balanced XLR outputs, looped from
the Balanced Inputs. The Input and loop Output XLRs are
hardwired so there is no interaction with the existing room
system.
Industry standard connections ensure that the UniFace neatly
and compatibly interfaces with existing systems with no
wiring modifications being required
Wide
Dynamic Range
Internally, careful
attention to the signal path design, using precision
components found in high-end mixing consoles, has resulted
in a unit with very wide dynamic range. The UniFace has
enough headroom to cope with the hottest line signal, and
better than digital noise specifications
Universal
AC Power
AC power range is a
universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V AC, and is connected to
the unit via a standard three pin IEC connector, with
built-in fuse and voltage change switch.
Other applications include
Boardroom/Annual General Meeting recording, Courtroom,
Houses of Worship, and much more.
