Partyline: What is the difference between the RS-623 and RS-603 series beltpacks?
Question: What is the difference between the RS-603 and RS-623 series beltpacks? Are both TW compatible? Let me know.
Answer: The RS-623 and RS-603 beltpacks are both TW compatible (channel A on pin 2 and channel B on pin 3 of PL cable) and should be connected to the output of a TWC-701interface. The RS-603 supports a 4-pin XLR headset feed, the RS-623 supports a 6-pin binaural headset feed.
The RS-603 supports a standard 4-pin XLR-F headset, pinouts as shown below:
