MP-16 MK2 and DS-16 MK2 (Master and Desktop) Front Panels

The Telos Infinity MP-16 MK2 is a 19inch 1RU, 180mm deep sturdy rack mounting metal case. DS-16 MK2 is a Desktop Station constructed from a rugged metal chassis. All operational controls are accessible on the front Panel and some configuration is possible from the front Panel menu.

Mic Selection Switch (A)

Microphone Input (B)

A front Panel socket supports an optional screw-in gooseneck microphone. The adjacent switch enables or disables the front Panel gooseneck microphone.

TRS Jack Microphone Connection

Menu Key (C)

The Menu Key puts the unit into Menu Mode. When operating in Menu mode, the Contact Keys change function to display menu options and parameters, which are user adjustable.

Shift Key (D)

The Panel is capable of supporting more than 15 contacts. When more contacts are programmed to the unit than it can display on the front Panel at one time, the additional contacts may be Grouped into different layers, or Shift Pages. The Shift Key scrolls through the different Shift Pages (layers) of contacts, only accessing pages that have been assigned a contact until finally returning to the first page at the end of the cycle.

Main Output Volume Control (E)

The top rotary encoder on the unit provides the volume control function for the main output (either the internal speaker or headset). Rotating the encoder clockwise increases the volume. Rotating the encoder counter-clockwise decreases the volume. Pushing the encoder in mutes/unmutes the listening function.

Internal Speaker (F)

An internal speaker is fitted within the Panel, allowing the unit to be used without a headset. The speaker is mounted into a sealed baffle, designed to optimize speech reproduction.

Aux Output Volume Control (G)

The Auxiliary rotary encoder is not currently active on the MK2 panels.

Home Key (H)

The Home Key acts as an “escape” key and returns the unit to the upper operating level and to the 1st shift page, from wherever the unit may be in the menu or shifted page structure.

Last Caller Key (I)

The bottom right key of the unit displays the last contact that has called the Panel and keeps a list of the last 20 incoming callers received. The Last Caller ‘stack’ can be cleared by lifting the key for 5 seconds.

Contact Keys (J)

Each of the contacts has its own key. Pressing the key down enables the Talk function and pressing the key up enables the Listen function or answers an incoming call. Additionally, the contact keys also feature a Left/Right Volume Up/Down control to adjust individual level for each incoming audio signal related to the key.

Headset Selection Switch (K)

Headset Connector (L)

All Telos Infinity products feature a standard 4-pin XLR chassis male connector (where fitted) for headset connection. 5 pin variants may be available at a later date or via special order following consultation with the factory.

Unassigned Switch (M)

For future use

Touchscreen Display - Desktop Panel Only (M)

This additional space available on the DS-16 MK2 panel can be used to display the current date and time. In future this space may be used for features such as extra keys, control of 3rd party devices (such as Axia Pathfinder), audio metering or anything else we might think of!

4-Pin XLR Connections

MP-16 MK2 and DS-16 MK2 (Master and Desktop) Rear Panels

The rear Panel of the INF-MP-16 MK2 and DS-16 MK2 consist of the following connectors:

DC Input (A)

A secure screw-lock +12 VDC input is included. This can be used to provide a redundant power source (recommended) or primary power if a PoE source is not available.

DC Power Connector

Network Connections (B and C)

Two 1000-based T network connections are provided. One Ethernet port is for the input and PoE Plus, and the other port may be configured as a separate control for network redundancy or for VoIP connections

Primary (with PoE Plus)

Secondary

USB A (D)

The USB connector is for future use. It is anticipated that it will be used for USB-audio connections (when paired with suitable USB interface devices) and also for maintenance purposes.
