CCS 900 Ultro Discussion System from Bosch Wins 2010 GOOD DESIGN Award

System combines innovative elegant design with superior acoustical performance

• New elegant styling complements any interior
• Superior sound quality optimized for speech
• Innovative meeting-management features

Bosch Security Systems’ new CCS 900 Ultro Discussion System has won a prestigious GOOD DESIGN Award.

The award is conferred annually by The Chicago Athenaeum: and Design  and The European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies in  recognition of products displaying “visionary and innovative concepts,  invention and originality.” Founded in Chicago in 1950, GOOD DESIGN is  the oldest and one of the most sought-after awards recognizing design  excellence, and attracts submissions from design firms and manufacturers  from all over the world.

Designed for small to medium sized meeting, the CCS 900 Ultro  discussion system from Bosch combines new elegant styling that  complements any interior with superior speech intelligibility. It also  boasts innovative features which make it easier to manage meetings.  These include an advanced patent-pending “Possible-To-Speak” function  that gives a visual indication of when the microphone is available for a  delegate to take the floor. The system’s Control Unit can record and  play back up to 64 hours of discussion on a 2 GB SD card, and it  features a 60-second buffer enabling the SD card to be changed when full  to allow recording to continue without losing any data. The delegate  and chairman units include a built-in loudspeaker, a microphone that’s  activated with a single touch and two headphone sockets with volume  control.

In addition, four easy-to-use operating modes give the CCS 900 Ultro  added versatility for more focus on the conversation. During meetings,  one to four microphones can be active simultaneously, with the chairman  always having speaker priority. And to support external participants  (during town-council meetings, for example), extra microphones in any  style (wired, wireless, handheld or podium) can be connected to the  system.

Since the CCS 900 Ultro is a plug-and-play, all-in-one discussion  solution, it requires no special training to operate it. Anyone can  begin using the intuitive controls immediately.
