Studiomaster Vāk 10.C Chairman Unit

Studiomaster Vāk 10.C Chairman Unit | Professional Moderation for High-Stakes Discussions

The Studiomaster Vāk 10.C Chairman Unit is a high-performance digital discussion station designed for presiding officers in legislative assemblies, corporate boardrooms, and judicial chambers. It grants the chairperson absolute procedural control through a dedicated priority override function, allowing for seamless moderation of up to 160 participants. Engineered with a premium Panasonic® capsule, it ensures that the “voice of authority” is heard with crystal-clear intelligibility in any institutional setting.

What is the Studiomaster Vāk 10.C?

The Vāk 10.C is the authoritative interface of the Studiomaster Vāk 10 Digital Conference System. While delegate units facilitate participation, the Vāk 10.C is designed specifically for the moderator. It acts as a control node that interfaces directly with the Vāk 10.S Controller, providing the chairperson with a unique “Interrupt Mode” to maintain order. Its presence ensures that formal meetings adhere to strict protocols, making it an essential component for government secretariats and executive councils.

Key Features & Technology

• Priority Override Switch: Features a dedicated priority button that allows the chairperson to temporarily mute all active delegate units, ensuring the moderator can intervene or redirect the discussion instantly.
• Unique Interrupt Mode: In a professional discussion, when the priority switch is released, active delegate units automatically resume their prior status, maintaining the natural flow of the meeting.
• Panasonic® Microphone Capsule: Equipped with a world-class microphone element that ensures superior voice reproduction and high gain-before-feedback, essential for large hall acoustics.
• Flexible Gooseneck Design: The 533mm detachable gooseneck microphone offers extended reach and flexibility, allowing for ergonomic positioning for any speaker.
• Visual Status Indicators: A bright LED ring on the microphone head provides immediate visual confirmation of ‘Mic Active’ status to both the speaker and the room.
• Integrated Monitoring: Includes a high-quality built-in speaker with independent level control and two separate headphone outputs for private monitoring of proceedings.
• Executive Aesthetics: Available in elegant Black and classy White finishes to complement the interior design of modern boardrooms and council halls.

Applications & Use Cases:

• Government & PSU Meetings: Ensuring presiding officers in secretariats and public sector units can moderate complex multi-stakeholder discussions effectively.
• Corporate Boardrooms: Facilitating structured executive board meetings where the Chairman requires the ability to summarize and intervene.
• University Senate Halls: Providing faculty leads with the tools to manage academic councils and large-scale administrative sessions.
• Council Chambers: Supporting legislative protocols in municipal and state-level assembly halls.
• International Conferences: Delivering the audio clarity required for high-level summits involving multi-lingual interpretation and recording.

Role in Conference Hierarchy:

In the Vāk 10 ecosystem, the hierarchy is clearly defined to support formal procedures. The Vāk 10.S Controller manages the signal logic, the Vāk 10.D Delegate Units facilitate participation, and the Vāk 10.C Chairman Unit sits at the apex. This unit is the only station capable of bypassing the Number of Open Microphones (NOM) limit and executing a “Floor Clear” via the priority switch. It transforms a standard sound system into a structured digital discussion environment.

System Compatibility & Expandability:

The Vāk 10.C is fully compatible with the broader Vāk 10 series architecture:

• Vāk 10.S Controller: Required for power and digital signal processing; supports up to 4 Chairman units.
• Vāk 10.D Delegate Units: Can be daisy-chained with the Vāk 10.C for a total system capacity of 160 units.
• Recording Integration: Balanced outputs from the controller allow the chairman’s voice and delegate discussions to be captured with high-fidelity for official minutes.

Installation & Best Practices:

For professional AV integrators, we recommend placing the Chairman unit at the head of the table or on the main dais to reinforce procedural authority. Ensure the 2.1m 8P-DIN cable is routed through desk grommets to maintain a clean aesthetic. Given the cardioid pickup of the Panasonic® capsule, the microphone should be positioned 6–10 inches from the moderator’s mouth for optimal gain and clarity.

Comparison Insight: Chairman vs. Conventional Microphones

Unlike conventional microphones, the Vāk 10.C is an “Intelligent Node.” Conventional mics require a manual mixer operator to mute others when a chairman speaks. The Vāk 10.C automates this through the “Unique Interrupt Mode,” removing human error from the equation. Its dedicated headphone outputs and localized speaker provide a personal monitoring environment that standard tabletop mics simply cannot match.
