The CSX BIR10 10-Channel Breakout Box and Infrared Base Unit from AKG is an infrared central control unit for the CSX IRS10 infrared language distribution system. The system is designed to operate in two modes, both feeding up to 10 channels. First, the CSX BIR10 can be used as part of AKG´s CS5 conference system. In this mode the unit acts as infrared modulator and/or as breakout box to provide channels of the CS5 data ring to external devices via RCA connectors on the back panel. Second, as a standalone IR system, to feed external devices such as a wireless system.

It is also possible to mix inputs - take a few external sources and a few from the CS5 data ring. Four BNC connectors are used for four strings of IR radiators that can be daisy chained. Four IR LED´s provide the infrared signal in the technician room to enable the technician to control what is transmitted in the venue hall. The CSX BIR10 is easily expandable to handle virtually any size room.

Digital Transmission with PPM technology - effective audio and radiation quality control

For CS5 or standalone system, works with all types of analog inputs

Unlimited expansion of radiators for any room size

Built in IR LED´s to provide IR signal in technician room

Mixed inputs from external or CS5 possible to enables use of external devices

Suitable for conferencing, tour guides, and assistive listening
