The stylish and ergonomically designed chairman unit has all the necessary facilities to enable the user to chair a conference. It has excellent immunity to RF interference from mobile phones. Similar in appearance to HCS-48U7D Delegate Unit, the HCS-48U7C Chairman Unit includes a microphone priority button. When pressed, the priority button causes all currently active delegate microphones to be switched off temporarily or permanently, allowing the chairman to take control of the meeting. The chairman unit can also be used to start or stop voting, cancel a request-to-speak, turn off all active microphones and recall messages for display. A graphic LCD screen with permanent backlighting can display characters from complex European languages or icon-based scripts such as Chinese. Channel selection is automatically limited to the number of language channels available. The loudspeaker offers superior acoustics with minimal feedback for enhanced intelligibility.
