AKG PAESP M Programmable Phantom Power Module with Noiseless Switch
The AKG PAESP M is a programmable phantom power module for DAM+ capsules. A BCD switch configures bass roll-off, LED ring modes, and mic switch behaviour (push-to-mute, push-to-talk, or push-on/push-off). Noiseless switching attenuates signal by 26 dB instead of cutting it.Overview
The AKG PAESP M is a sophisticated programmable phantom power module for the AKG DAM+ series, designed for fixed and mobile installations in theatres, conference rooms, and houses of worship. Its BCD (binary coded decimal) switch enables selection from multiple operating modes, allowing the user to configure the bass roll-off, LED ring mode (on, off, or follow mic function), and microphone switch behaviour (push-to-mute, push-to-talk, or push-on/push-off) to match the specific application. Instead of physically disconnecting the signal — which causes an audible click — the PAESP M's noiseless switch reduces the audio level by 26 dB, ensuring seamless and silent microphone muting. The module is compatible with all DAM+ series gooseneck and mounting modules.

FAQ
Q: Why does the PAESP M reduce level instead of disconnecting the signal when muted?
A: Physically cutting the signal on a phantom-powered microphone produces an audible crack through the PA system. The 26 dB attenuation method mutes the microphone silently without interrupting phantom power.
Q: Can I change the switch mode after installation?
A: Yes, the BCD switch is accessible after installation, allowing operating mode changes without removing the module from the gooseneck system.

Frequently Asked Questions
What does it mean that the PAESP M has noiseless switching?
Noiseless switching attenuates the audio signal by 26 dB instead of cutting it completely, preventing the audible click or pop that occurs when traditional switches interrupt audio. This ensures smooth, professional muting and unmuting in live conferences.
How does the BCD switch configuration help in a conference room?
The BCD switch allows you to configure bass roll-off, LED ring modes, and microphone switch behavior (push-to-mute, push-to-talk, or momentary on/off) directly on the module. This flexibility adapts the system to your room's acoustic and operational needs without requiring external reprogramming.
What is push-to-talk mode and when would we use it?
Push-to-talk means the microphone is only active while the button is pressed, ideal for multi-speaker settings or security briefings where control is critical. Release the button and the mic mutes, preventing accidental background noise.
Can we switch the PAESP M between different mic behaviors after installation?
Yes, the programmable BCD switch lets you adjust mic switch behavior, bass roll-off, and LED modes on-site. You can change settings without tools or rewiring to match how your room is actually used.
Is the PAESP M designed for permanent installations or mobile use?
The PAESP M is built for fixed, professional installations in boardrooms, council chambers, and auditoriums. Its programmable design and noiseless switching are engineered for systems that stay in one location.
What size room can the PAESP M work in?
The PAESP M controls audio processing for DAM+ capsules; room size depends on microphone placement, acoustics, and the capsule model used. Contact Procure.ae to discuss your specific room dimensions and layout.
What is the typical delivery window for the PAESP M to GCC facilities?
Procure.ae supplies the PAESP M across the UAE and GCC on a request-a-quote basis. Lead times vary by location and stock; reach out to get an estimated delivery date for your project.
Can Procure.ae help with commissioning the BCD settings for our system?
