Partyline: Is there a headset limiter built into the KB-112 wall mount panel?
Question: We are using a small Clear-Com PL system at a amusement park venue consisting of a MS-232 main station, RS-501 beltpacks and several wall mount KB-112 speaker panels and one KB-112 in a V-Box at a lighting board position nearby the FOH position. The lighting board operator using the V-Box mounted KB-112 panel is complaining the audio levels to his headset can sometimes be too loud especially if the users at the wall mount KB-112s yell into the panel mic. Is there a way to set a limiter on the KB-112 headset output?
Answer: Since the V-Box KB-112 is being used as a single channel position headset enabled position and the speaker section not used this would be the perfect place to substitute in an RS-601 series beltpack that has the limiter function enabled in V-Pack software. This would ensure that this operator cannot turn up their listen levels on the IC to a level that might hurt their hearing.
Below is a screen shot of the V-Pack software program for the RS-601 beltpack showing the location of the limiter function. The limiter range is approximately 26 db. With Limiter selected, the beltpack prevents the volume in the main headphone from exceeding a level that could cause temporary or permanent hearing damage to the person wearing the headset. Limiting the headphone volume is the default setting. This setting should only be turned off, by clearing the check box, for very specific circumstances such as increasing the headset volume for a hearing-impaired user.
