Glensound Solo Loop Single Position Commentary With Loop

About: Glensound Solo Loop Single Position Commentary With Loop

Glensound Solo Loop is a compact, single-position commentary unit designed for professional broadcast applications, both in studio and outside broadcast environments. It builds upon the features of the Glensound Solo by incorporating a talkback circuit and the ability to link multiple units using the proprietary CMBus system.

Key Features

• Single Announcer Position: Tailored for individual commentators, providing essential controls and monitoring in a user-friendly layout.
• Integrated Talkback Circuit: Facilitates direct communication with production teams via a transformer-coupled balanced output on XLR.
• Switchable High-Quality Compressor/Limiter: Ensures consistent audio levels and prevents distortion during dynamic commentary.
• 48V Phantom Power: Supports condenser microphones with selectable phantom power.
• Configurable Mic Button: Offers flexibility to function as a latching on/off switch or a momentary 'cough' button, catering to different commentary styles.
• Transformer Coupled Inputs and Outputs: Provides electrical isolation and maintains audio integrity.
• CMBus Integration: Allows multiple Solo Loop units to be linked seamlessly using Glensound's Current Mixing Bus (CMBus) technology over screened Cat5 cables, enabling noiseless audio circuit connections between units.

CMBus Functionality

The CMBus system enables the following audio circuits to be mixed and shared across linked Solo Loop units:

1. Programme Output: Combines all program microphone circuits, providing a mixed output of all program mics at each unit.
2. Talkback Output: Aggregates all outgoing talkback circuits, delivering a mix of all talkback audio at each unit.
3. Talkback Input: Shares any incoming talkback circuits among all linked units, ensuring consistent communication across the network.

Notably, the Programme input remains unique to each Solo Loop unit, allowing distinct audio feeds for individual commentators.

Integration with Talent Box

The Solo Loop is compatible with Glensound's Talent Box commentary units, utilizing the same CMBus technology. This compatibility allows the Solo Loop to function as a satellite commentary position when linked with the Talent Box, offering scalable solutions for larger broadcast setups.
