Orbis MU 23 (Discontinued - Available Whilst Stock Lasts)

The Orbis MU 23 chairman microphone unit is equipped with one microphone button, clear button and configurable function button in the housing. The microphone button is used to turn the microphone on or off. The ready-to-speak status of the microphone is displayed by the red LED on the gooseneck microphone and the green backlit microphone button.

When using the function button the chairman can intervene into the discussion and mute or clear all activated delegate microphones depending on the system configuration.
