17 Tempest®900 2-Channel Wireless Intercom System
Rear Panel Right
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 -12 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 BaseStation. 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 -15.5 to +4 dBu. Audio supplied to the Aux IN Connector can be assigned
and adjusted via the BeltStation under the “Set Controls” menu as “Program Volume.” This allows each BeltStation to
have independent level control. Note: Tempest Aux IN audio adjustments can now only be made from each BeltStation and is
referred to in this manual as Program Volume. Please refer to the BeltStation Settings and Program Volume section of this manual
for more information.
3- Aux OUT Connector
The Auxiliary OUT Connector is used to supply intercom audio sources from the Tempest BaseStation. 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 -12 to +12 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 CHAN SEL button or the Volume control, can be
used to advance through the channels, and the OUT Level control is used to adjust the Aux Out level. Adjust to the lowest
level 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
BaseStations all transmit and receive at the same time, thus avoiding inter-BaseStation 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 BaseStations all
transmit and receive at the same time, thus avoiding inter-BaseStation RF interference. Any BaseStation that has a BaseSync
OUT connection, but does not have a BaseSync IN connection, will generate a sync signal for connected BaseStations.
