Riedel Communications, renowned for pioneering the most advanced intercom, fiber and radio technology in the broadcast industry, presented its new Artist 5000 series intercom control panels at this year's IBC and PLASA. The new Artist 5000 panel series is a very cost-effective matrix intercom solution designed to meet the demands of all intercom markets. It provides the full functionality of Riedel's digital matrix intercom panels at an unbeatable entry-price level.
The panels are available in two versions either with marker strips or with 8 character, high-contrast LCD displays, which show the label for each talk key. The control panels with LCD-display are also equipped with a "shift"-page, essentially doubling up the number of keys to a total of 16. The universal enclosure makes the panel suitable for rack-mount, wall-mount and desktop operation. Connection to any Artist or Performer matrix is realized digitally via a standard AES3 signal on CAT-5 cable. In addition, this allows the user to route panels through any 3rd party digital audio device. The panels feature an integrated loudspeaker, a gooseneck microphone and LED indication for "shift"-page mode, headset mode and microphone activation. Just like any Riedel Artist control panel, the Artist 5000 series is powered by an internal power-supply.
