Concentus is the new distinctive face of digital congress.
It creates a sense of harmony with even the most luxurious congress venues.
In fact the name Concentus is Latin for 'harmony.'
This is reflected in the even clear sound from its flat panel loudspeaker and the balance
it strikes between innovative design and superior performance.

DCN CONCS Concentus Channel Selector
The DCN-CONCS is similar to the DCN-CON Standard Delegate Unit, but includes a built-in language channel selector. This makes it suitable for conferences where more than one language is used and simultaneous interpretations are available.
The channel selector includes up and down select keys and a 2-digit display with backlighting, enabling rapid selection of the required language channel. Channel selection is automatically limited to the number of language channels available.
The flat-panel loudspeaker offers superior acoustics with minimal feedback, thus increasing intelligibility. When the unit is not being used, the loudspeaker panel conveniently folds down.
- Channel selector with channel number display with back
lighting and channel select keys (up/down) - Headphone volume control on each side of the unit
- Built-in fold-away flat-panel loudspeaker, automatically muted if a microphone is on
- Microphone ‘on/off ’ or ‘request-to-speak’ button
- ‘Microphone-on’ indicator at the top of the loudspeaker
- Tri-color indicator above the microphone button:
- Red microphone on indicator
- Green ‘Request-to-speak’ confirmation indicator
- Yellow ‘VIP’ indicator. ‘VIP’ is lit when the delegate unit is part of the notebook, which is only available when PC control software is used
DCN CONFF Concentus Full Function
The kind of discussion shown in this example is typical of a local council or board meeting, where some formalised structure is required and the need for quick and efficient decision taking means that an automatic voting system is required.
This unit is used as a stand-alone conference control system, providing voting facilities as well as microphone management and power for all contribution units. The unit also has microphone priority and can be used to start, stop and suspend voting, and alter delegate microphone status. Each delegate is equipped with a table-top delegate unit which allows them to speak, register a request-to-speak, listen to the speaker and vote.
- Channel selector with channel number display with back lighting and channel select keys (up/down) • Headphone volume control on each side of the unit
- Graphic LCD screen. Typical displays include:
- button description - multi-lingual user instructions
- information on the number of current speakers -
request-to-speak information and confirmation
- voting results - remaining/elapsed speech time
- public and personal messages
- additional user information - Five button with LED indicators (for use in combination with the graphic LCD screen).
The soft buttons can provide users with display information such as messages, conference- and microphone user-related information.
Depending on the application software the five soft buttons can be used as voting buttons with confirmation indicators (yellow LEDs), enabling the user to register:
- PRESENT, YES(+), NO (-), ABSTAIN (X), (parliamentary voting)
- Numerals: 1 to 5 (multiple choice or opinion poll voting)
- Rating scale: - -, - 0, +, ++ (audience response) - Identification and access control by card reader with or without PIN
