1. Introduction

Thank you for selecting the digital wireless Quinta conference system. Please take some time to read carefully through this manual before setting up the equipment.Please refer also to the extensive “Quinta Conference System” manual and “Quinta Software” manual,which you will find in the internet at www.beyerdynamic.com.Please also refer to the supplied “Safety Information” booklet.

2. Quinta CU and RS Control UnitsThe Quinta RS and Quinta CU (from software version 3.0) control units can be operated in two different modes, they can be selected via the Quinta Software. In the Conference mode all devices(Quinta MU, Quinta TB, Quinta TH) have the functionality of a conference microphone unit, while inthe Microphone mode all devices have the functionality of a wireless microphone. For more informationplease refer to the Quinta Software manual.

2.2. How to Operate the System

2.2.1 Quinta CU Control UnitThe Quinta CU control unit is the heart of the system. It is used to control the delegate and chairmanmicrophone units. With one control unit, a maximum of four people can speak simultaneously (e.g. three delegates and one chairman). The radio transmission is in the triple-band operation (2.4 / 5.2 / 5.8 GHz frequency band).Delivery state: Conference mode

Where to place the control unit• If you do not use remote antennae, place the Quinta CU control unit in the room where themeeting takes place. If you use remote antennae, place the antennae in the conference room.

• Avoid shadowing effect of the antennae, especially by metallic surfaces.• A free line of sight between the Quinta MU microphone units, Quinta TB boundary microphones andQuinta TH handheld transmitter and the antennae of the Quinta CU control unit is essential for theoperation.

How to connect the antennae• Connect the antennae to the antenna connections . Please note that for diversity operation bothantennae have to be connected! A weighting circuit is used to make sure that the better antennasignal is received.

• For stand-alone operation we recommend using the supplied CA Q 11 angled rod antennae.• The Quinta CU control unit can also be operated with remote antennae. We recommend extremelylow attenuation connecting cables which are 10 m [32.8 ft.] or 20 m [65.6 ft.] long. Please notethat the antennae have to be installed remotely.

Connections• If required, connect the Audio Mix , XLR � or Cinch � master output of the Quinta CU controlunit to the input of a mixing console or amplifier.

• Connect the Quinta CU control unit to the mains �. The internal power supply unit of the controlunit can automatically adjust between 100 and 240 V at 50 - 60 Hz. Verify that the voltage ratingof the unit matches that of the AC mains outlet you are to use. If you connect the unit to the wrongvoltage, you may seriously damage it. Always route cables running to the unit where they will notbe pinched or cut by heavy or sharp objects.

• For using the AVB network connection, please refer to the extensive “Quinta Conference System”manual.

How to operate the control unit• Turn on the Quinta CU control unit with the On/Off switch �. The Power on LED � will illuminate.The channel LED 1 to 4 will illuminate white to indicate the availability.

• Conference mode: As soon as a microphone is activated, the channel LED � will illuminate red toindicate that the channel is occupied.

• Microphone mode: As soon as there is an active radio connection between the microphone andcontrol unit (no matter if the microphone is open or muted) the appropriate channel display � willilluminate red to indicate that the channel is occupied. In the microphone mode a maximum of fourmicrophones can be operated with one control unit. If all four radio channels are occupied andmore microphones are activated, these microphones that are too many will automatically be deactivated right away.

• At the factory the RF bands 2.4; 5.2 or 5.8 GHz* will be activated (Automatic Mode). This meansthat the Quinta CU control unit will select a free frequency and if necessary it will select a differentfree frequency without any interferences. This operating mode is recommended for normal use.The free frequencies for the Quinta CU control unit can be deactivated via the Quinta software. Thedevices (Quinta MU, Quinta TB and Quinta TH) will automatically be adjusted and without any interruption to the frequency of the Quinta CU control unit. Please refer also to the “Quinta Conference System” manual.*Note:The availability of the RF bands 2.4; 5.2 or 5.8 GHz depends on the selected region.

2.2.2 Quinta RS Control UnitIn conjunction with the Quinta TB boundary microphone the Quinta RS control unit is used forvideo conferencing and/or small meetings. You can also use the Quinta RS control unit with theQuinta MU microphone units or the Quinta TH handheld transmitter. With one Quinta RS controlunit you can operate a maximum of four microphones in the microphone mode. The installation and operation is equal to the Quinta CU control unit. The Quinta RS control unithas no display and can also be managed via the Quinta Software.Delivery state: Microphone modeImportant: In the conference mode you can operate a maximum of 20 microphone units with theQuinta RS. Furthermore, please note that the Quinta RS control unit does not provide any votingfunction. Therefore, the Quinta RS control unit should not be used with the Quinta MU 23 V and21 V microphone units if voting functions are required.

Where to place the control unit• If you do not use remote antennae, place the Quinta CU control unit in the room where themeeting takes place. If you use remote antennae, place the antennae in the conference room.

• Avoid shadowing effect of the antennae, especially by metallic surfaces.

If all four radio channels are occupied andmore microphones are activated, these microphones that are too many will automatically be deactivated right away.

• When the Quinta RS control unit is turned on for the first time, it is set to the RF band of 2.4 GHz*which has been selected at the factory. Via the Quinta Software you can select the appropriate region where you use the control unit and select the antenna configuration so that the RF bands inthe 5.2* or 5.8 GHz* range are available. The devices (Quinta MU, Quinta TB and Quinta TH) willautomatically be adjusted and without any interruption to the frequency of the Quinta RS controlunit. Please refer also to the “Quinta Software” manual.*Note:The availability of the RF bands 2.4; 5.2 or 5.8 GHz depends on the selected region.North America: The RF bands 2.4; 5.2 or 5.8 GHz are preconfigured in Quinta RS at the factory.
