Sonifex CM-CU21 Commentator Unit, 2 Commentator and 1 Guest Positions

The Sonifex CM - CU21 is a top - notch, portable commentator unit. Its robust build and versatile features make it ideal for various settings. It offers two fully - featured commentator positions and a third guest position that can also serve as a line - level input. Each position has its own output, and there are two additional outputs that mix all active commentary channels. The main panel's limit indicator shows when the adjustable limiter on the mix outputs is working, and a bright 21 - segment LED PPM meter (which can be turned off) displays the main output level. Key features include individual outputs for 2 commentator and 1 guest positions plus 2 mix outputs, talkback outputs selectable by main commentators with a built - in limiter, 4 return audio circuits for headphones with individual level control, wide input gain range and switchable phantom power for different microphone types, individually switched 48V phantom power on all microphone inputs, and a user - preset adjustable limiter on main mix outputs with limit activity indication. Technical specs cover microphone input, line input, monitor inputs, and physical dimensions and weight.

Using the Sonifex CM - CU21 is straightforward. First, connect your microphones to the appropriate inputs. You can use different types of microphones thanks to the wide input gain range and switchable phantom power. For each commentator and guest position, adjust the volume and other settings according to your needs. The talkback outputs can be selected by the main commentators to communicate effectively. The return audio circuits allow you to route audio to your headphones and control the level for each source. When it comes to the outputs, you have individual outputs for each position and two mix outputs. Keep an eye on the limit indicator on the main panel to make sure the adjustable limiter on the mix outputs is working properly. The LED PPM meter can show you the main output level, but you can disable it if you don't need it. As for maintenance, keep the unit clean and free from dust. Make sure to store it in a dry place. If you need to move it, use the boxed dimensions as a guide for proper packing. And always check the connections before using it to ensure optimal performance.
