Description — 273 words · 19xx - M703 - DOC - 7000 series - promo - 002.jpg, page 1
THE WARD-BECK SYSTEMS 7000 Series solid-state Intercom Systems are designed to provide inter- communication between production and technical staff within a broadcast or production complex: Modular construction enhances the flexibility of the available configurations. 1 ) M7012 ~ 12 input, 12 output configuration with to 144 crosspoints (expansion capability to 12 x 16 with 1 to 192 crosspoints) . Requires 8 rack units of space.
2) M7024 24 input, 24 output configuration with to 576 crosspoints. Requires 14 rack units of space. Various capacity systems are conveniently assembled by re-arranging the modular components. The 7000 series Intercom Systems comprise centrally located amplifier and switching equipment which is remotely controlled from passive control stations situated in the appropriate personnel areas: The concept features entirely balanced circuitry for improved crosstalk and minimum transient and RF degradation: The system utilizes latest state-of-the-art operational amplifier techniques with solid-state balanced crosspoints and integrated circuit amplifier designs: Optimum efficiency in packaging is achieved by use of one MF7 frame type which accommodates the basic amplifier and crosspoint modules.
12 M703 inputloutput amplifier modules or 24 M712 cross- point modules may be accommodated in the 5-1/4 in. high (3 rack units) , standard 19 in. rack mounting MF7 equipment frame. The sophistication of the system may be expanded as required through the use of WBS 600 series power amplifiers and distribution amplifiers for higher listening levels and multiple output distribution: The inherent flexibility of the 7000 series system permits convenient integration of the facility with any existing system: In addition, the basic modules will accommodate dynamic or carbon micro- phone inputs from various sources or any make of camera equipment
