Ideal for conference lectures or debating, this easy to use timer features a Remote Display which can be positioned up to 200 metres / 660 feet from the Master Unit via standard microphone cable.

Multiple Remote Displays may be employed, and the Master Unit has 2 XLR outputs to accommodate these units. XLR Y-Splits may be used to further divide the signal to more units. The Master Unit also supplies power to the Remote Displays, and up to 4 Remotes may be employed using the standard 300mA Plugpack Power Supply (available separately). It is possible to use more Remote Displays by increasing the size of the power supply, and szikla technical can advise on suitable requirements.

Operation is simple and has been designed so that non technical people can gain a quick understanding of the functions. The control interface is intentionally similar to that of a CD player, which most people have in their home. So setting a start time is like choosing a track number (1-99 minutes). Go and Pause are self-explanatory, and pressing Stop is like re-cueing to the start of the track (ie: the selected start time).

The user is able to see how much time is remaining via the bright numeric displays. On the Master Unit the decimal point flashes when time is counting down, and freezes when time is paused or stopped. Also, a kind of "traffic light" arrangement gives further visual confirmation of what's happening.

The Remote Display features a large 20mm / 0.8 inch numeric display. There is no decimal point to flash and so this presents no distraction. There are two 10mm / 0.4 inch Warning Lights, the first of which shines yellow when the time passes below 2 minutes. The second one flashes red when the time reaches zero, and continues to flash until the Master Unit is re-cued.

Another neat feature is that when time passes below 1 minute the unit counts down in seconds. This provides the seasoned presenter with a perfect reference with which to synchronise their final statements, while to the unseasoned amateur it simply adds an extra emphasis to the already indicated low time warning.

The Minute Man 99 Conference Timer is supplied with 1 Remote Display Unit as standard and more may be purchased separately if required.
