Quadrant Hire and Events director, David Carter, says: "Conference equipment hire is an expanding market for us and over the last 12 months we have seen a significant growth in this area. We have also noticed that the demands from our clients have become increasingly sophisticated, so it was time to replenish stocks. Since receiving this system we have already enjoyed success with large corporations and educational establishments where emphasis has always been on quality and reliability. Sennheiser fits right in with how we do things."
The SDC 3000 has an extensive list of features including a seating plan display with the names of all participants, a status indicator of all conference terminals, and a list of participants who have "applied" to take the floor. The software also starts the voting mode, displays and stores results.
The Central Unit is designed to control a conference system with up to 150 terminals - each featuring a built-in loudspeaker and electret microphone for high quality sound reproduction throughout the entire conference room, say Sennheiser. The terminal is controlled via the MIC key. By pressing this key, for example, the participant can activate the microphone or "apply" to take the floor. A red LED ring on the microphone indicates who is allowed to take the floor or who has applied for a comment. A simple change in configuration at the SDC Central Unit is all that is needed to turn the delegate unit into a chairperson unit.
