PERFORMER C22 System Interface

The Performer C22 System Interface converts two twochannel CAT5 matrix ports to two phantom powered
digital beltpack lines and vice versa, allowing seamless
integration of digital partylines with matrix intercom
systems. In addition it can also be used for any
application, where you would like to route digital partyline
intercoms via an AES digital audio infrastructure such
as MediorNet, Artist or any 3rd party AES audio router
solution supporting transparent AES user bit transport.
The device provides an internal matrix, allowing to either
operate the two ports independently as two independent
partylines (Figure 1) or to build one distributed partyline
via AES (Figure 2 & Figure 3). The beltpacks are
connected to the 19/1 RU unit via standard 3 pin XLR
cables. The Performer C22 can power daisy-chains of up
to nine beltpacks, split-boxes or desktop speaker stations
per line.
