Key Features
Clear-Com Encore® is a 2-wire analog partyline system with
intuitive plug-and-play design and superior “Clear-Com Sound.”
• Supports up to 55 beltpacks or 10
speaker stations on two channels Description
• Separate short-circuit protection for The MS-702 is a 1RU two-channel main station with programmable front panel buttons,
each channel individual channel short-circuit protection, individual channel volume control, and a
regulated fail-safe power supply. The MS-702 supports up to 55 beltpacks or 10 speaker
• Dual-action electronic momentary/
stations.

• Program feed to both channels, Monitoring System
with selectable Program Interrupt The MS-702 can monitor intercom activity on one or both channels with individual
(IFB) listen-level controls. Monitoring intercom activity is possible through a headset or the

on each channel For paging, the MS-702 provides a balanced, line-level output signal to a 1/4-inch TRS
• Universal voltage power supply connector on the rear panel. The front panel Announce button activates the output and the
Announce relay. The relay circuit, on a separate 1/4-inch TRS connector, is typically used to
mute monitors.

Call Signaling
The MS-702 has individual Call buttons with visual call signaling for each channel on the
partyline. The visual signal will flash brightly and will emit an audible signal if the remote station
operator holds the Call button for more than 2 seconds. The call signaling feature can be
programmed to the Talk buttons.

Remote Mic Kill (RMK)

The MS-702 has a global Remote Mic Kill button. It will turn off the microphone talk circuits
of all beltpacks on the system, eliminating extraneous noise from the open headset
microphones.

Program Input and Interrupt (IFB)

The MS-702 accepts a line-level external program input for monitoring in the headset and speaker, and/or mixing with intercom audio on either
or both channels. When Interrupt is selected, the program signal is interrupted when the Talk button is pressed.

Power
The MS-702 has a visual indication of power supply conditions. In the event of a short circuit or current overload on a channel, that
channel will shut down while the other one continues to operate. As soon as the fault condition is removed, the auto-reset circuitry will restore
