Tempest 2400 Wireless Intercom System
1- SA (Stage Announce) Connector
The SA connector is used to output beltstation audio to a dedicated audio output. The SA Connector is an
XLR-3M connector and accepts a standard XLR-3F. The SA Connector is balanced and transformer
isolated. Nominal line level is -4 to +8 dBu. The SA Connector output level can be adjusted under the
Wired Intercom Settings menu.
2- Aux IN Connector
The Auxiliary IN Connector is used to supply program or other audio sources to the Tempest base
station. The Auxiliary IN Connector is a ¼” Tip/Ring/Sleeve jack that accepts a standard ¼” TRS plug.
The Auxiliary IN Connector is balanced and transformer isolated. Nominal line level is -4 to +8 dBu.
Audio supplied to the Aux IN Connector can be assigned to any combination of the four intercom
channels with individual levels for each channel at the Aux In/Out Assignment/Level menu. While in the
Aux In/Out Assignment/Level menu, the front panel channel select (SEL) button or the Volume control
can be used to advance through the channels, and the IN Level Control (page 57) is used to adjust the
Aux In level. Adjust to “0” to restrict audio from a channel.
3- Aux OUT Connector
The Auxiliary OUT Connector is used to supply intercom audio sources from the Tempest base station.
The Auxiliary OUT Connector is a ¼” Tip/Ring/Sleeve jack that accepts a standard ¼” TRS plug. The
Auxiliary OUT Connector is balanced and transformer isolated. Nominal line level is -4 to +8 dBu. Audio
supplied from the Auxiliary OUT Connector can be assigned from any combination of the four intercom
channels with level control at the Aux In/Out Assignment/Levels menu. While in the Aux In/Out
Assignment/Level menu, the front panel channel select (SEL) button or the Volume control can be used
to advance through the channels, and the OUT Level Control (page 57) is used to adjust the Aux Out
level. Adjust to “0” to restrict audio from a channel.
4- Base Sync IN Connector
The Accu-Sync, BaseSync IN Connector is used to input an external sync signal that ensures that
multiple Tempest base stations all transmit and receive at the same time, thus avoiding inter-base station
RF interference.
5- Base Sync OUT Connector
The Accu-Sync, BaseSync OUT Connector is used to output a sync signal that ensures that multiple
Tempest base stations all transmit and receive at the same time, thus avoiding inter-base station RF
interference. Any base station that has a BaseSync OUT connection but does not have a BaseSync IN
connection will generate a sync signal for connected base stations.
6- Local Area Network (LAN) RJ-45 Connector
The Local Area Network (LAN) RJ-45 Connector is used to connect the Tempest base station to a user
supplied PC running Tempest T-Desk software. The user can then monitor and/or adjust base station and
beltstation settings via the PC interface. This connection can be made directly or through a Local Area
Network. See the separate T-Desk instructions for more information.
7- Relay Connector
The Relay Connector provides access to all of the relay closure contacts for the Tempest base station.
There are six relays including one common Stage Announce relay and five individually assignable relays -
one for each of the wireless beltstations. See the section on “GPO Relay Contacts on page 35
8- Antenna Connector
The Antenna Connector is used to connect one of the two antennas to the Tempest base station. The
Antenna Connector is an RP-TNC (Reverse Polarized-TNC) connector. Cables used to attach to this
Antenna Connector must be properly terminated with mating RP-TNC connectors and the proper cable
type. When using the 2.4GHz base station it is important that both antennas are connected to ensure
proper system operation.
9- Remote Transceiver RJ-45 Connector
The Tempest Remote Transceiver RJ-45 connector is used to connect the optional remote transceiver to
the Tempest base station. The remote transceiver can be located up to 1,500 feet from the base station.
