DESCRIPTION
The Clear-Com KB-702 is a two-channel speaker station ideal for theatre, live 
performances, industrial applications, and small TV facilities. It features excellent 
speech intelligibility even in high-noise environments and can be tailored to your 
needs through its programmable options.
In addition, the Clear-Com KB-702GM contains a jack for an optional 
Clear-Com gooseneck panel microphone and a close-in, voice-controlled circuit 
(VOX). This circuit allows automatic, alternate dipping of the panel microphone 
and the speaker in response to conversation.
Selectable two-channel talking and/or listening allows the operator to 
communicate on either of the intercom channels. The dual-action talk button is 
electronic momentary or latching. Monitoring can be done through the headset, 
the integral speaker, or both at once. The KB-702 offers both visual and audible 
call signaling to attract the attention of operators. The remote mic kill (RMK) 
feature on main stations will turn off any open mics on the KB-702.
A balanced program input allows the monitoring of external audio using the 
headset or speaker. This program input can also be used as a paging function.
The KB-702 speaker station accepts dynamic headsets. A sidetone control allows 
the operator to vary the level of his/her own voice as heard in the headset and 
speaker.
The integral speaker can be turned on or off by a convenient front panel switch. 
An automatic speaker dipping circuit will lower the level of the speaker whenever 
the talk button is activated.  This feature helps minimize acoustical feedback.
The KB-702 receives power from the Clear-Com intercom line. The unit 
mounts either in a standard four-gang electrical outlet box or in an optional 
Clear-Com four-gang V-box. The extra-thick front panel and compact 
surface-mount circuitry maintains legendary Clear-Com ruggedness. The two 
intercom channels connect to a plug-on screw terminal strip. Male and female 
3-pin XLR connectors are provided on the four-gang V-box for an inline 
connection to one of the intercom channels.
