AKG Introduces Revolutionary CS5 Conference System At PLASA

AKG is presenting the full modular, highly flexible CS5 Conference System at PLASA this September. The CS5 is the newest conference system from AKG and acts as a complete digital solution for any and all audio conference requirements.

With the AKG CS5, users can easily design high-level conference systems complete with ID card identification. It has one, three, and five step voting, interpretations of up to 63 languages and infrared distribution of up to 7 languages. The necessary infrared components are built into the base unit, enabling direct connecting of the CS5 radiators CS5 IRT1 and 2. The CS5 BU even acts as an interface to all external devices, including: mixers, wireless microphones, recording devices, CD players and more.

“Developing this system, one of the major targets was to keep everything as easy to operate as possible,” said Thomas Giczy – Product Manager at AKG. “Cabling, programming, and setup are easy to understand and the system is fully expandable from any starting point.”

All of the components in the CS5 are based on an Ethernet connection, including the microphone stations and the interpreter unit, and the system works with 64 channels that can be split into simultaneously active microphones and translated languages. The central element in the CS 5 conferencing system is the CS 5 BU; only one unit that is required for all possible configurations and sizes. With the CS 5 BU unit, up to 5000 participant and interpreter units can work in one big system.

AKG provides the CS5 with an all-inclusive principle. For each system AKG includes the CS5 PC control software free of charge, allowing to supervise/control even the most simple discussion systems.
