RCS Audio-Systems VLM-205 Digital microphone station for remote control of 5-LS lines, 'ALL-CALL' and DM-10A content_copy

The microphone station VLM-205 from RCS Audio-Systems is a digital station for remote control of up to five speaker circuits in professional sound systems. It is specifically designed for integration into systems with the central units VLA-120C or VLA-240C and enables control of individual zones as well as group call (All-Call). The station features an integrated condenser gooseneck microphone with cardioid polar pattern and a 2-tone pre-announcement, ensuring clear and precise voice transmission. Dimensions are 205 x 325 x 155 mm, allowing integration into standard installations.

Applications

The VLM-205 is intended for use in buildings with central sound systems, for example in office complexes, schools, hospitals or industrial facilities. It serves as a control device for remote control of speaker zones and enables selection of individual circuits or group call. The station is also designed for controlling the digital text module DMT-10, enabling additional information functions such as text display or digital messages.

Functions and equipment in detail

The station offers priority control for microphone inputs, allowing certain inputs (e.g. MIC-1, MIC-2, MIC-3) to be prioritized over others. This is particularly important in critical situations, such as alarm notifications or emergency calls. Volume is adjustable on the front panel, as is the type of pre-announcement (e.g. 2- or 4-tone gong). An integrated AUX-IN (L + R, Cinch) allows external audio sources such as CD players or other devices to be connected. The station is supplied with a 3 m long data cable (8-pin) with RJ45 connectors, used for connection to the central unit.

Technology explained simply

Digital control is performed via the receiver module RR-10, which is integrated into the station either factory-fitted or as a retrofit solution. The RR-10 module serves as a digital communication interface between the station and the central control unit. It receives and decodes digital control commands, enables feedback of system and zone status, and controls internal logic functions as well as LED indicators. The maximum total cable length for up to six stations in series is 100 metres, and up to 250 metres for three stations.

Compatibility and accessories

The VLM-205 is compatible with central units VLA-120C and VLA-240C and can be integrated into existing systems. The station is also designed for controlling the digital text module DMT-10, enabling extended functions such as text display or digital messages. Connection is made via the digital system cable, for example using RJ45 connectors or special cables.

Installation and mounting

Installation must be carried out by authorized specialist personnel. The RR-10 module is fully integrable into the station housing and can be installed either factory-fitted or retrofitted. Connection to the central unit is made via the included 3 m long data cable with RJ45 connectors. Power supply is provided via the system cable, eliminating the need for additional power sources.

Advantages in operation

Digital control via the RR-10 module enables reliable and feedback-capable zone control. Status information feedback ensures transparent system monitoring. Priority control and adjustable volume provide flexible use in different scenarios. The integrated AUX input function extends application possibilities, for example for music playback or information programmes. The station is designed for use in digital systems and offers a compact, integrated solution for remote control of sound systems.
