Quinta – Control Unit 2. 5 Quinta CU Control Unit The Quinta CU control unit is the heart of the system. It controls the delegate and chairman microphone units. With one control unit a maximum of 4 speakers (e.g. 3 delegates and 1 chairman) can speak simultaneously. The radio transmission is in the triple band (2.4 / 5.2 / 5.8 GHz frequency band). The control unit has been designed for installations on tables or 19" rack mounting.

Quinta – Trouble Shooting 7.1 19 Simultaneous Operation of the Quinta Conference System and other 2.4 GHz Devices (e.g. WLAN, Bluetooth) 7.1.1 Physical Laws Due to many physical laws it is not possible to guarantee a simultaneous interference-free operation of different devices using the same frequency band. Radio devices operating in the same frequency band will always disturb each other (the function can be disturbed as well).
PAGE 20
Quinta – Trouble Shooting 20 You can easily recognise that the individual WLAN channels overlap considerably due to their bandwidth. All neighbouring channels (e.g. channel 1 & 2 or channel 7 & 8) cannot be used simultaneously, because they would disturb each other. Furthermore, channel 12 and 13 are not approved for the use in the USA. In general, these channels are not used either. Within the remaining frequency bands only the WLAN channels 1, 6 and 11 can be used simultaneously.
