Applications Bar Yeah, you know. A bar...or “club”. This example assumes a small bar with live music, but not a full blown stage with lights and huge flying loudspeaker arrays, etc. Basically, this is the type of bar where you go to get some food, have some adult beverages and kick back.

SMR 821 User Manual Small House of Worship For small churches, synagogues or similar houses of worship, the SMR 821 is a perfect choice. A very simple interface, high quality audio performance and multiple outputs make it ideal.

Applications Plant Paging For large scale paging applications, the SMR 821 is a cost effective option to digital systems. By using multiple units and “busing” common inputs, you can create multiple zone systems. In this example, each area of this facility has it’s own local paging and music audio. A common “All Call” mic is fed to each zone’s Channel 1 input. Office Shop Floor Office Local Music All Call Supervisor Manager ZONE 1 - Assembly Plant NOTE: When busing audio inputs across long dis

SMR 821 User Manual Courtroom In this example, we need more than 6 microphones for this courtroom project. Using the SMR 821’s Bus Link feature, we can easily create a 12x2 mixer. The Master mixer feeds the power amplifiers and the logging recorder. Using the Aux output for the logging recorder provides a separate volume control, and channel assignment. In some cases, you may not want every microphone to log to tape. Keeping the recorder feed separate provides this functionality. Witness Ju
