The BSS Audio DT-715 is a public address paging station for high zone-count applications such as hotels. Up to twelve (12) DTE-710 extension units can connect to the DT-715, facilitating paging to up to 96 zones.

The DT-715 sends and receives both audio and control data to the controller system via a CobraNet™ interface. Redundant Primary and Secondary CobraNet ports facilitate fault tolerance. Both CobraNet ports are PoE-enabled. If PoE is not available, the unit can also receive power from a DC power adapter (included).

The DT-715 features one paging microphone, one monitor loudspeaker*, one power indicator, one system status indictor, one large Push-to-Talk (PTT) button, and 15 user-definable function buttons. Next to each user-definable function button is a window into which a label can be inserted, and an LED for zone status indication.

The “MIC” control allows the user to adjust the level of the built-in microphone. The “SPKR” control allows the user to adjust the level of the built-in loudspeaker*. The “AUX” connection is a 1/8”, line level, stereo left/right input for connecting a local audio source and transmitting it via CobraNet™*.

The DTE-710 features 10 user-definable function buttons, each with an accompanying label window and zone-status indication LED. Up to 12 DTE-710 units can be connected to a single DT-715 in daisy chain fashion. The DT-715 contains two interchangeable extension jacks for connecting the DTE-710 units, and therefore the DT-715 can be placed anywhere in the daisy chain. The DT-715 provides all necessary power and communications through the extension jacks to the DTE-710 extension units.

*Support for the monitor loudspeaker and the “AUX” connections will become available in a future firmware release.
