Description

The TP-BN14 is a bidirectional Dante network interface for tabletop use. The unit provides a shock-mounted XLR microphone input with a mute button. A front-panel 2W amplified speaker provides monitoring of a specific audio mix.

The TP-BN14 provides a front-panel headphone Mini-jack with an associated four input source selector. LEDs associated with the input buttons indicate the selected source.

The front panel level control is a long-life potentiometer controlling a VCA. Audio does not pass through this control, assuring years of noise free level adjustment. The output amplifiers deliver more than 90 mW into either high or low impedance headphones. The headphone output may be used to listen to different language translations.

The TP-BN14 may be powered from a 24 Vdc power supply, available separately, or from PoE. It is used in meeting halls, conference rooms or courtrooms.
