The DSPK-4 will be available in spring 2023.
RTS has announced the global introduction of the DSPK-4 Digital Speaker Station – the latest addition to the RTS Digital Partyline product family, which also includes the OMS (OMNEO Main Station) and DBP (Digital Beltpack).
The DSPK-4 is an IP-based wired speaker station providing versatility and functionality, including four channels of talk/listen via microphone and speaker or headset – all with high-quality digital audio and the use of standard Ethernet for easy integration into existing IT infrastructure. It adapts the hybrid IP/digital/analogue functionality, ergonomic design and intuitive UX of the DBP into a sleek new form factor that is available in compact desktop, flush-mount and wall-mount versions. Flexibility is further enhanced with Bluetooth headset connectivity and PoE (Power over Ethernet) connectivity.
As with the DBP, the DSPK-4’s IP technology allows for hybrid use, supporting both digital partyline and matrix keypanel modes. For use as a digital partyline device, the DSPK-4 connects to an OMS; this also allows the integration of analogue/two-wire devices within the digital/IP system, helping to extend ROI on existing analogue equipment. For use as a matrix keypanel, including functionality like point-to-point communication, the DSPK-4 can be connected to any RTS digital/IP matrix product using OMNEO IP technology – including OMI cards in ADAM/ADAM-M frames or OMNEO ports on ODIN frames. The DSPK-4 automatically selects the correct mode of operation (digital partyline/OMS or keypanel/matrix) when connected and switched on.
DSPK-4 also offers ROI for customers with existing RTS matrix intercom equipment. In addition to increased fidelity and a lower noise floor in comparison to analogue, the DSPK-4’s Dante digital audio quality permits natural conversation levels and dynamics, free from feedback and latency – all of which can also add value by ensuring communications run smoothly during day-to-day operations.
The DSPK-4 has over-moulded ergonomic volume knobs and rubber enclosure detailing to provide extra grip and durability. The control layout is designed for an effortless user experience – for both new and experienced partyline users. An intuitive icon-based menu navigation system is presented via a full-colour TFT display with anti-reflective lens, making local configuration quick yet precise in any light conditions.
A choice of three different XLR headset connector options are available for flush-mount models: 4-pin female, 4-pin male or 5-pin female. Desktop and wall-mount models are each equipped with all three connector types. Bluetooth headset connectivity via USB dongle is supported on all models. The desktop version comes equipped with an external AC/DC power supply unit (PSU); the PSU can be ordered separately for the flush-mount and wall-mount versions.
