The Glensound BEATRICE D4 is a robust, 4* channel Desktop intercom with crystal clear audio designed for broadcast, theatre and professional audio applications.It is part of our Beatrice intercom system that utilises the reliable and proven Dante network audio transmission protocol to allow real time distribution of uncompressed audio across standard networks. As such the BEATRICE D4 is also fully compatible with other manufacturers’ equipment using the Dante protocol.
The Beatrice D4 is also AES67 compliant.
This small desktop unit was designed to be very easy to use for the operator and simple to set up for the technician. It includes all the basic functionality required for small intercom systems and none of the overly complex installation requirements normally associated with large systems.
* From a maximum of 2 network locations.
4 Channels
One single user connected to the unit can listen to and communicate with 4* separate locations on the network. Depending upon how the Dante network has been routed the incoming audio circuits and outgoing circuits can be different locations.
PLEASE NOTE THERE IS A LIMITATION TO INCOMING NETWORK STREAMS SEE ‘*’ IN SPECIFICATION.
Dante Routing & Partyline
Audio routing to/ from other devices is setup using Dante controller which allows for point to multipoint routing on outgoing circuits (but only 1 single incoming circuit for each of the 4 channels). An inbuilt partyline facility allows any of the 4 incoming circuits to be routed to any of the 4 output circuits making both simple partyline and more complex group circuits easily configured.
Onboard Mic & External Mic Input
A good quality, clear sounding microphone amplifier, designed for communication purposes, is fitted which also has the benefit of a compressor/ limiter circuit to help keep levels and intelligibility consistent even when the operator gets overly excited. This microphone amp has two microphone sources, either the inbuilt front panel mounted electret capsule which provides good voice intelligibility from normal working distances, or a balanced XLR input for connecting external gooseneck microphones. Twelve Volt Phantom power is also available and can be turned on/ off as required.
Large Diameter Visatron Loudspeaker
What’s the point of an intercom unit if the onboard speaker is so small and cheap that you can’t understand what is being said to you? We use high output, high quality, large magnet Visatron speakers with excellent voice intelligibility to make communication straightforward and easy to understand.
Volume, Panning & Incoming Levels
The front panel features an easy to use volume/ setup control. This multifunctional control provides day to day operational control of:
A) Overall volume control (just turn the knob)
B) Incoming channel level (push the speak key and turn the knob simultaneously)
C) Panning (push the speak key and push and turn the knob simultaneously)
Mains or PoE Powered
An inbuilt wide range switch mode mains power supply is fitted for powering the Beatrice D4. It is terminated with a standard IEC plug, making it easy to plug in wherever you are in the World. It can also be powered via the Ethernet cable by standard PoE (Power over Ethernet), which can be supplied by an external PoE switch or a midspan power injector.
Headphone Output
One of our unique headphone amplifiers is fitted to the Beatrice D4. These allow either low or high impedance headphones to be used and automatically adjust the output level to match the impedance of headphones in use. The headphone amplifier is stereo and sources can be panned to left or right ears as desired. The unique headphone amplifier can also drive mono earpieces from its stereo output without any performance issues. Headphone connection is via a standard 6.35mm TRS jack socket located out of the way on the rear panel.
Headset Connector
If you prefer an intercom headset with a single XLR connector for microphone and headphones, then fitted as standard to the rear is a 5 pin female XLR headset connector. The microphone input on this headset connector is in parallel with the 3 pin XLR and the headphone output is in parallel with the 6.35mm TRS jack.
A 4 pin male XLR can be fitted to special order instead of the 5 pin female headset connector.
Call Function
A simple call function is inbuilt allowing the operator of one unit to call/alert other users that they want to communicate with them. To call another user the operator double taps the speak key of the channel they want to call, this then flashes a bright yellow call LED on the other users keypanel, which continues to flash until the call is answered. As well as flashing a LED at the receiving end of the call an audible ‘beep’ can be set to alert the user that an incoming call has been placed to them.
Display for Setup
To make setup of the unit easy and intuitive a display is provided on the front panels. This display provides a simple menu system for setting up such items as: Button Configuration, Input Type (Mic/ Line), Microphone Gain, Phantom Power On/ Off, Sidetone Level (Own voice in own headphones), Partyline/ Loop Through, Mode Mixing/ Cutting of Partyline when User Speaks.
Presence Indicator
Each channel has its own red LED that acts as a presence detector on the incoming audio circuit. When audio is detected the LED is lit and it stays lit for a short period after the incoming audio stops.
Small and Robust
The Beatrice D4 is manufactured using lightweight but strong aluminium. It has laser etched aluminium front & rear panels and powder coated aluminium sides. The form factor has been carefully designed to be as small as the internal electronics allow whilst keeping user buttons, microphone and loudspeaker ergonomically positioned for optimum user experience. Weighing in at just 1.5Kg it is light enough to transport easily but heavy enough to stay put on a busy desk or work surface, and at just 214 x 172 x 41mm it won’t get in the way.

I would recommend anybody to get these, especially if you do a lot of walking they’re very light but have a good heal support and the soul is nice and soft and cushy..

Great Fit, Lightweight, and Totally Quiet
Size: 11, Color: New Black05
Great fit and very comfortable once you pick the right size. Lightweight, breathable, and completely silent on hard floors. No squeaks or “suction” sounds like some reviews claimed. Normal packaging, normal opening, no issues at all. Excellent value for the price.

Most comfortable shoes I've ever worn
Size: 11, Color: New Black05
First off, I was not expecting much buying a no-name shoe online, especially for the price. Boy was I in for a surprise...
I've owned these for almost a full year, and can confidently say these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. I normally wear a size 11 and these fit me perfectly. Prior to this the most comfortable shoes I had were some Cole Haans with the Nike air technology. These shoes are so lightweight, so comfortable, I can wear them all day long without feeling a thing. Whenever I (rarely) need to wear a different pair of shoes, I am immediately reminded of how much I used to hate wearing shoes and couldn't wait to take them off.
Based on the price, I expected them to wear down quickly. However they are still going strong. Running, hiking, long walks, biking, worn to office / casual events. These shoes have been soaked in mud multiple times, but clean up easily by just throwing them in the washing machine and then the dryer. The soles and the insoles have both worn down a bit over the past year; at this rate I expect to get 1.5 to 2 years out of them before needing to be replaced. So far I must have put at least a thousand miles on these shoes based on how much I wear them.
They look good too. I have the all-black pair, and they look decent with jeans and a button up shirt for a night out, but also look natural in an athletic setting with shorts and no socks. Very versatile and subtle.
Now for the cons, which are minor. The pattern on the bottom of the sole is prone to some squeaking/suction sounds at first. However after about a month some of the ridges wore down just enough that it was no longer a problem. Second: they are not as breathable as I would have liked. For example, when running or biking, you don't feel any air on your feet. Wearing them out in the sun on a hot summer day, your feet will get a bit stuffy. In fact the fabric is woven tight enough that I wear them in the winter and in the rain, and don't get too cold or wet. So I do wish they made a more breathable version for summer time use.
All that being said, these are still the best pair of shoes I've ever had. Ultra light weight, comfortable, and can be worn all day long without feeling any fatigue whatsoever.
---
UPDATE: It's been 1 year and 9 months, and the soles on these shoes are fully worn out and ready for replacement. Considering I've put between 1,000-2,000 miles of walking in these, that's pretty good. If anyone from Feethit is reading this, here are my top suggestions to perfect this shoe:
1) Easy fix - change the tread pattern. The current pattern causes suction cup effect on hard floors until it starts to wear down. Simply add some gaps in the circle pattern in the tread and it will remedy that issue.
2) Most importantly, put a thin piece of durable rubber on the bottom of the sole. The sole does wear down after some time and lose traction, especially on smooth wet floors (e.g. in the rain, in a kitchen, etc.). A thin piece of durable rubber would add more traction and also extend the life of the cushion-like sole (which is fantastic, don't change it!). This would easily be worth an extra $5-$10 in the price.

Nice shoes, despite the squeak and inconsistent sizing
Size: 12, Color: Black White 05
Excellent shoes at this price point. Quite comfortable. They do tend to have a nasty squeak on tile floors, sort of like a suction cup being engaged and disengaged.
I bought the navy blue and went back and bought the black. I have to say that the size varied greatly. With the second pair, I have to be sure to wear thin socks and even then, I struggle to get them on, despite having an extremely narrow foot. I'm not sure that a person with an average width foot could wear them. Buyer beware. You may need to go up a size.
