West End Recording CIB-02 COMM/IFB Box
The West End Recording CIB-02 routes a dynamic mic and a lavalier or mixer feed to its outputs through two front push buttons, for an instant intercom, IFB, or talkback setup.
The XLR input takes a mic-level dynamic microphone, and the TA5 input takes a lavalier or a line-level feed from a mixer. Each button can be set to momentary or latched. A momentary button is on only while pressed, and a latched button turns on with one press and off with the next. The two can be ganged so one button turns on both.
IFB Mode
Each channel can run in IFB mode on its own. With the button off, line audio on the TA5 input passes to the outputs at full level, and pressing the button dims it by 15 dB so the XLR mic is heard. With IFB mode off, a channel passes no audio until its button is engaged.
A switchable high-pass filter cuts rumble, hum, and other low-frequency noise.
Power and Outputs
The CIB-02 runs on an internal 9 V battery, alkaline or lithium, or on 9 to 18 V DC from an external supply. It also runs on 48 V phantom power through channel 2 with a PPS-01 or PPS-02 adapter, sold separately.
Inside are a mic preamp, a balanced line input, and dual balanced line drivers. The extruded aluminum case is black anodized, with laser-etched markings. Choose an XLR5M output or two TA3M outputs.
