The BP.15 continues a tradition of superior performance, now in a tiny package, 1/7th (0.15) the size of the BP-1 (by volume).
All the functions of a full-sized belt pack are retained. The signal button and the mic On/Off button are shaped differently for easy
recognition by touch, in the dark. Two LEDs indicate signaling (red, bright) and microphone-on (green, low output).
The BP.15 is available with an optional vibrator in addition to the standard signal LED. (Please call for more information)
The BP .15 includes two recessed controls. One controls 'sidetone', the sound of your own voice which you hear in your own earspeaker.
The second recessed control adjusts the sensitivity of the microphone input circuit to allow for different outputs of dynamic and electret
microphones. The microphone input circuit includes a limiter which keeps the microphone input from being over loaded, causing distortion.
The amplifier circuit delivers a crisp, clear signal to the earspeakers for excellent speech recognition, but with a wide enough frequency
response to minimize the possibility of ear fatigue during a long performance.
Miniaturization does have its costs.
The size will not accommodate the conventional three XLR jacks on the bottom panel.
The 4-pin head set jack has been retained but a miniature XLR-type jack has been substituted for the other two.
The BP.15 comes with a cable constructed from a length of steel reinforced cable with the miniature plug on one end and a 3-pin female
XLR on the other. A second cable is available (sold separately) with the miniature plug on one end feeding into a Y with a male XLR on one leg
and a female on the other for daisy-chaining onward to the next station in the system. (see Related Items below).
Durability: The BP.15 incorporates the very same characteristics that earned the BP-1 those accolades. The cabinet is a strong, aluminum extrusion with internal ribbing which not only adds to its strength but provides for support of the printed circuit board along the full length of both sides. The durable end bezels deflect damage. The same (almost indestructible) belt clip used on the BP-1 is used on the BP.15. Realizing that belt packs are bound to live a rough life, we take every possible opportunity to secure components and 'ruggedize' the complete product.
Value: Simple, quick assembly has kept the cost of the BP.15 very competitive.
Use of only the best available components results in a low predicted incidence of warranty repairs, probably the most important cost savings of all.
Compatibility: The BP.15 is plug-in compatible with Clear-Com® and other popular headset intercom systems
