Audio to / from the handset is automatically turned on when the handset is off the hook and turned off when on hook.  

Divine is a new concept in powered network audio monitors. It is housed in a fully sealed diecast enclosure, is powered by Power over Ethernet (PoE) and boasts the very latest low noise high output class D power amplifier. Internally a Digital Signal Processor (DSP) takes careful care of the audio signals, including state of the art compression and limiting circuits, while a microprocessor provides full setup and control via a small rear panel LCD. Control of setup and day to day operation of the Divine will also be available on our Windows 10 application GlenController including the ability to group multiple Divines together and control their level simultaneously. Divine can receive up to four* Dante (AES67 compliant) audio over IP (AoIP) inputs.  These inputs can be selected by the user on a large clear front panel select switch.  The four audio inputs can also be easily mixed together and their individual levels adjusted. A priority system is provided to allow one (or more) of the inputs to automatically duck another. This can be very useful if you want to monitor one source but also listen to another when audio is present, such as sending show relay to dressing rooms in a theatre but having the stage managers call and building fire alarm take precedence when they’re active.
