Audio-Technica ATUC-IRCUDAN Dante IR Discussion Control Unit

The Audio-Technica ATUC-IRCUDAN Dante IR Discussion Control Unit serves as the primary management hub for the ATUC-IR IR/Wired Hybrid Discussion System. This 19-inch rack-mountable unit facilitates the use of both infrared and wired discussion components, ensuring flexible deployment for professional meeting environments.

Advanced Dante Connectivity

The ATUC-IRCUDAN integrates a Dante output with redundancy to support high-performance networked audio. This feature allows for reliable signal routing across existing Dante-enabled networks, providing a stable digital audio backbone for large-scale installations.

Superior Audio Processing

This control unit utilizes 24-bit/48 kHz digital signal processing to deliver high-fidelity audio. It incorporates a 12-band feedback suppressor to eliminate unwanted noise and ensure speech clarity. Every connected discussion unit benefits from individual automated gain control (AGC), mic gain adjustments, and dedicated mic EQ settings to maintain consistent audio levels across the entire system.

Extensive System Capacity

The ATUC-IRCUDAN supports a total of 200 ATUC-IRDU infrared discussion units and 100 ATUC-50DU/IU wired units. The system design is scalable, allowing for the connection of up to two ATUC-50CU control units via Cat5e or better cabling. This configuration expands the total capacity to 500 microphones, including 300 wired units and 200 infrared units. The system supports both daisy chain and ring topologies to accommodate various room layouts.

Operation and Control

Users can manage system settings locally at the control unit or through a Web Remote interface that requires no additional software. The unit also supports integration with third-party IP control systems. Three selectable conference modes—Free Talk, Request to Talk, and Full Remote—provide flexibility in meeting structure. The front panel features an OLED display for system information and presets, while LED indicators allow for immediate monitoring of critical functions.

Connectivity and Inputs

The unit provides comprehensive I/O options, including four configurable balanced matrix outputs and one unbalanced output. Input connectivity includes two mic/line inputs, two AUX RCA inputs, and two interpretation return inputs for providing simultaneous interpretation feeds alongside the floor language.

Integrated Recording Capabilities

A built-in audio recorder enables the capture of meetings directly to a USB mass storage device. The system supports both MP3 and WAV file formats with a maximum storage capacity of 2 TB. The recorder handles individual files of 2 GB or less, ensuring reliable documentation of discussion proceedings.
