Questions & answers
Know before you buy
Quick answers about the DCNM-FBD2, and how it compares.
How many participants can one DCNM-FBD2 serve?
Two participant positions as standard: each input gets its own seat number. In dual use, one FBD2 serves up to four participants, two sharing each microphone and loudspeaker. On the wired DICENTIS system dual use needs no license. Up to four DCNM-FIDP identification panels can be connected in dual use.
What connects to the DCNM-FBD2?
| 2 x RJ45 system connectors | Network and power on the DICENTIS system cable, loop-through to the next FBD2 |
| 2 x RJ12 | Button and control panels, one port per participant. Several panels daisy-chain on one port: FMICB, FPRIOB, FSLP, FVP, FIDP |
| 2 balanced audio inputs | DCNM-FMCP microphone panels |
| 2 loudspeaker outputs | DCNM-FLSP loudspeaker panels |
| Headphone connection | Audio for the DCNM-FSLP, one per side |
Where is the DCNM-FBD2 installed, and what is in the box?
Out of sight: under the tabletop or seat, in an armrest, on a wall or inside a cable duct (in a closed duct, up to 35 °C). Only the click-in panels show on the table. A green / amber LED shows the unit status.
In the box: the base device, a quick installation guide, an anti-take-out bracket, two 2 m and two 30 cm CAN cables.
What else do I need for a flush-mounted seat?
A DICENTIS Flush seat is built around the DCNM-FBD2 flush base device, fitted under the table or seat, in an armrest, on a wall or in a cable duct. Pick the panels the seat needs and cable them to the FBD2:
- Microphone: DCNM-FMCP connection panel with a DCNM-MICSLS (310 mm) or DCNM-MICSLL (480 mm) screw-lock microphone, plus a DCNM-FMICB microphone button or DCNM-FPRIOB priority button. The button panel also powers the FMCP.
- Loudspeaker: DCNM-FLSP.
- Language selection: DCNM-FSLP and headphones.
- Voting: DCNM-FVP.
- Identification: DCNM-FIDP with the DCNM-FICH card holder (ask us).
- No space on the table: DCNM-FHHC handheld microphone through a DCNM-FAI flush audio interface (ask us).
In dual use, one FBD2 serves up to four participants, two sharing each microphone and loudspeaker. For mounting, add DCN-FCOUP couplings, DCNM-FEC end caps and DCNM-FPT positioning tools. The FBD2 joins the system with DICENTIS system cables, powered from the DCNM-APS2 or DCNM-PS2.
Do DICENTIS Flush panels need a software license?
On the wired DICENTIS system, a Flush seat does basic discussion without a license once the system is registered: microphone, request to speak, loudspeaker, and dual use on the DCNM-FBD2.
These panels need a Premium or Ultimate license for each participant:
Order Premium DCNM-LPP-PE or Ultimate DCNM-LPU-PE, one license per participant; a dual use seat counts as two.
How are DICENTIS Flush panels mounted?
Every panel clicks into a 2 mm metal panel. In wood or any other surface, fit them with DCN-FCOUP flush couplings and finish both ends of the row with DCNM-FEC end caps (set of 50). DCNM-FPT positioning tools help place the couplings and include a template for the loudspeaker cut-out.
DICENTIS Flush uses the same installation footprint as Bosch DCN Flush devices (except the loudspeaker panel), so an older DCN Flush installation can be replaced without major rework.
Which other DICENTIS Flush parts can ESCO supply?
These are not in our online shop yet. Ask us for a quote:
- DCNM-FIDP identification panel: NFC card reader that reads cards 0 to 1 cm away, so nobody logs in by accident. Up to four per DCNM-FBD2 in dual use.
- DCNM-FICH ID card holder (pack of 25): keeps the card next to the FIDP, so the participant stays logged in while the card is parked and is logged out when it is removed. It takes the place of the end cap on that side.
- DCNM-FAI flush audio interface: connects one third-party microphone or line-level source to the FBD2: balanced or unbalanced, 48 V phantom power, gain 0 to 18 dB, with a contact input for a custom microphone button. It also takes two DCNM-FMCP panels for a rostrum position. The DCNM-FHHC (coiled) and DCNM-FHH (straight 1.5 m cable) handheld microphones connect through it; two FAI give two handhelds per FBD2.
- DCNM-FSL and DCNM-FSL2 flush language selectors: like the DCNM-FSLP, but stand-alone: each connects to a PoE switch with its own network cable, so no FBD2 is needed. The FSL2 can also be daisy-chained.
- DCNM-FET flush extraction tools.
- Headphones: LBB3443/00 and LBB3443/10 lightweight headphones, HDP-LWN neckband headphones and the HDP-ILN induction loop neckband.
