Arcadia Central Station

The Arcadia® Central Station provides a scalable IP networked intercom system. It has a compact 1RU form and can be configured either from the browser-based Core Configuration Manager (CCM) or the front panel menu system. The Arcadia intercom system supports wireless, wired and keypanel user stations, in a variety of form factors, frequencies and connectivity types.

As an intercom user station, Arcadia provides 4 keysets with high resolution touch-screen control. Keysets are assignable to any channel, group, beltpack, program audio or stage announce. The user station has a headset connection, a gooseneck mic connector and a loudspeaker, in addition to All Call, Stage Announce and Remote Mic Kill buttons.

Arcadia interfaces with a variety of audio and intercom systems; Clear-Com's I.V. Direct, Dante, 4-wire line-level audio, 2-wire partyline connections to existing analog intercom systems. GPIO connections provide inputs and relay outputs for system control and interfacing, programmable in Arcadia’s logic configurator ( navigate to: CCM>Configuration>Logic).
