DIGIMIC DCen MkII

Central control unit for up to 32 language channels

DCen MkII

The DCen central unit powers all connected delegate units within the DIGIMIC microphone and translation system, configuring them automatically and routing the digital audio exactly where you need it. DCen includes all common microphone modes, including automatic, push to talk and request to speak, voting (with CMic consoles), chairperson priority and VIP management. In addition, DCen manages and controls DDol type interpreter consoles.

The new DCen offers four RJ45 sockets for connecting up to 100 delegate units. Each output is supplied with voltage by its own power supply unit. In the event of a short circuit or failure of one line, the other outputs continue to operate undisturbed. DDol interpreter consoles can also be operated directly on the DCen, so that a complete microphone and interpreter system for up to 32 languages is available with only one central unit. As soon as a unit is connected to the central unit, it is immediately ready for use without any further settings. The free configuration tool DCen Config is available for individual adaptation of the DCen.

Via the Ethernet interface, the DCen is integrated into the comprehensive conference software brählerOS to realise microphone control, name management, access control and voting easily via touch screen or PC.

For easy connection to other devices, the DCen is equipped with one analogue input and 5 analogue outputs. For quick and easy installation, these balanced connections are designed as Phoenix terminals. Via an internally controllable audio matrix, various microphone and transformer signals can be freely routed to the outputs. Each chain of microphone consoles is available as its own audio signal.

Dante™: Easy connection to additional DCens as well as third-party audio devices

In addition, the DCen has a Dante audio interface for connection to other DIGIMIC DCen control panels or to third-party digital audio systems.

The Dante audio interface delivers all 32 translation channels in high quality and is thus perfectly adapted to the needs of a multi-channel simultaneous interpreting system. The routing and distribution of the interpreted languages greatly reduces the installation effort.

With its Dante interface, DCen32 integrates easily into Audinate’s Digital Media Networking solution. With the built-in 4-port network switch, up to 4 DCens can be connected via Dante without additional hardware. Alternatively, the 4 ports can be set to provide a secondary or primary network, and it also works with hundreds of third-party devices for digital audio processing and connectivity.
