The Glensound BEATRICE R16 is a versatile and fully featured 16 channel rackmount 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. It is also AES67 compliant. As such the BEATRICE R16 is fully compatible with other manufacturers’ equipment using the Dante and/ or AES67 protocols.
This 1RU rackmount intercom 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.
• 16 Channels Of Intercom
One single user connected to the unit can listen to and communicate with 16 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.
• Configurable Speak Switches
Each channel's speak switch can be user defined to operate to your preference. The options are: Momentary, Latching or Intelligent Lever Key.
• 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 16 channels). Therefore we’ve included an inbuilt fixed ratio 11 input 11 output mixer matrix with inputs and outputs connected directly to the Dante / AES67 network which allows for setting up partyline and group circuits.
• 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 via an internal link.
• High Output Intelligible Loudspeaker
What’s the point of an intercom unit if the onboard speaker is so cheap that you can’t understand what is being said to you? We tried hundreds of different drive units before settling on the one used in the Beatrice R16. We chose it because it had a much cleaner sound and better frequency response for vocals than any other speaker on the market that would fit in a 1RU subrack.
• Mains or PoE Powered
An inbuilt wide range switch mode mains power supply is fitted for powering the Beatrice R16. It is terminated with a standard IEC plug, making it easy to plug in wherever you are in the World.
The unit can also be powered via the Ethernet cable by standard PoE (Power over Ethernet) on either of the copper Ethernet ports. The PoE power can be supplied by an external PoE switch or a midspan power injector.
• Redundant Twin Copper & Twin Fibre Ethernet Interface
When ultra reliable communications is needed for the utmost important jobs, glitch free redundant network circuits can be set up using the primary and secondary Dante network ports.
There are 2 copper Ethernet ports on RJ45s and also 2 fibre Ethernet ports presented as SFP slots (SFP modules not included). Redundant networks can be set up across any of these ports. These ports can also be set up as a network switch.
• GPIO
A solid state relay output is provided and is triggered when any speak key is on (useful for dimming external loudspeakers or red light controls).
In total there are 12 loop closure inputs. 10 of these control the first 8 talk keys and talk to group and talk to all.
The other 2 loop closure inputs provide internal & external LS cuts.
• IFB/ AUX Sources
Four different IFB/ Aux audio sources are received from the Dante network. Each of the four sources is associated with four outgoing talkback channels. If audio is routed to the(se) IFB/ Aux sources in the network then they are mixed in with their associated outgoing talkback channel circuit.
If a talkback key is on then the associated IFB/ Aux source is ducked by a user definable amount. If the talkback is not on then the IFB/ Aux source is routed to the channels' output with unity gain.
IFB/ Aux sources are very useful for distributing programme audio around an intercom setup whilst the ducking facility allows talkback to be heard over it.
• Microphone Level Meter
An eight LED front panel multipurpose indicator is used to indicate the outgoing microphone level.
• Channel Input and Output Gain Controls
For maximum flexibility, gain can be applied to incoming audio signals and outgoing signals separately. A row of LEDs indicate the current gain setting when a channels input or output is being adjusted.
• Monitor
All incoming talkback channels are mixed together to the headphones/ loudspeakers.
• Presence Indication
Front panel LEDs located next to the talk switches are used to indicate the presence of incoming audio on that channel. When audio is detected on the channel the LED is illuminated. The LED then stays on for a short period after the incoming audio stops to help the operator identify who has been talking to them.
• 4-Wire Connectivity
Two traditional analogue 4-wire circuits can be connected to two of the R16's intercom channels by utilising the versatile analogue inputs and outputs.
• Speak To All and Speak To Group
Two useful front panel controls are fitted. When pressed, the ‘Speak To All’ button will enable the operator to talk to all the outputs simultaneously and the ‘Speak To Group’ button allows the operator to talk to an easily assignable set of outputs.
• Speaker Output
As well as the front panel internal loudspeaker a balanced analogue output is provided for connecting to an external powered loudspeaker.
• Local Input and Output Circuits
For increased versatility there are 2 local balanced analogue audio inputs and 2 local balanced analogue outputs.
The inputs are routed directly to two output channels on the Dante/ AES67 network.
The outputs are fed directly from two input channels from the Dante/ AES67 network.
• Mixer Matrix For Partyline
For setting up simple groups and partyline circuits that could not be achieved via Dante controller or your AES67 router, an inbuilt fixed ratio mixer is supplied. It has 11 audio inputs direct from the network and 11 mix outputs to the network.

The cat didn't do it!
Format: Mass Market Paperback
I bought the book, because it looked so cute. Plus, I love cats! It was a cozy mystery with the cat as a constant companion of the protagonist. It made for a delightful story. I don't usually read low key mysteries, but I thoroughly enjoyed the humor, the cat, and the murder mystery. I plan on buying the next one. Ms. James has a writing style that you will enjoy her stories. You will not get bored.

When A Mystery Writer's Death Becomes The Mystery
Format: Kindle
Charlie Harris is a part-time archival librarian for Athena College in Athena, Mississippi. In his late forties, the father of two grown children, and a widower for three years, Charlie is the proud human owned by a Maine coon cat named Diesel. Still grieving the loss of his wife, Charlie is not yet interested in dating and keeps himself politely at an emotional distance from everyone except Diesel.
Coming into Charlie’s life about two years ago as a bedraggled kitten wandering the library parking lot, Diesel seems to have two particular affinities. He seems to understand the human language well beyond the sound of his own name or the phrase “Here, kitty kitty.” And he seems to sense and differentiate between human emotions, particularly sadness and anger, even when not verbally expressed. Weighing nearly 35 pounds and not yet fully grown, Diesel proudly sports a harness and leash and goes just about everywhere with Charlie. He openly seeks attention from everyone he meets but he gives back just as much or more after he “determines” the type of attention the human needs at the time.
For all that we know about Diesel, we know very little about Charlie other than what I have already mentioned. The author never physically describes Charlie, not height or hair color, not weight or eye color, not anything. Since every other character is described as he or she enters the storyline, the absence of same for Charlie seems to be deliberate on the part of the author. Thus, each reader can visualize our main protagonist in whatever form fits or feels right at the time.
While Charlie has eschewed emotional attachments since the nearly concurrent deaths of his wife and his favorite aunt, he rents out rooms to college students. As our story opens, one of the boarders, 18-year-old Justin Wardlaw, experiences three traumatic events in one day. First, he meets his previously unknown biological father for the first time. Secondly, the man he thought was his father strikes him in the face when he refuses to quit college and move back home. And, finally, he discovers the body of his biological father murdered in his hotel room.
Godfrey Priest, the murdered man, is a best-selling author of violent thrillers that have a severely misogynistic overtone. A contemporary of Charlie, he grew up in Athena with a well-deserved reputation as a physical and emotional bully. Needless to say, there are many people in town with long memories and hardened hearts as far as Godfrey Priest is concerned, making no dearth of possible suspects.
Miranda James does not portray Charlie as a suspect who must work to clear his own name. Nor does she portray him as one of those meddlesome types who feels he can do better than any police detective in existence. What she does is portray Justin as a good kid who has just been handed a very raw deal and is in dire need of help and adult support. Since Charlie is a well-respected research and archival librarian trained to find answers to oblique questions, he decides to lend those skills to Justin’s cause.
And then there is the police detective, Kanesha Berry. Detective Berry is smart and intuitive but she has the people skills of a rock and the professional personality of the rattlesnake hidden under that rock. She is also the daughter of Charlie’s longtime housekeeper, Azalea. When Azalea asks Charlie to use his skills to help her daughter succeed in spite of herself, Charlie finds himself in the position of unofficial private investigator.
James has written a solid first entry for her Cat in the Stacks series. The search for the murderer twists and turns as past deeds surface and motives multiply. Since the book is written from Charlie’s first-person POV, the reader knows no more than Charlie does at any time. And since the author writes the detective as a recalcitrant soul, fighting for control and against civilian assistance, the reader gets no help whatsoever from that quarter toward interpreting the information that Charlie gleans.
Charlie makes mistakes, both intuitive and legal. Unlike what happens in many cozies, our protagonist immediately accepts responsibility, takes his lumps and makes a concerted effort to correct his behavior. And, unlike the progression in many cozies, he doesn’t figure out the murderer’s identity before the detective does.
This novel has no obvious hook leading to another book. Nor does it end in a cliffhanger. But the murder of Godfrey Priest, and his investigation into it on Justin and Azalea’s behalf, changes Charlie. And on that point lies the premise of another book.

Surprisingly Deep and Heartfelt
Format: Paperback
At first, when i started this book, i didn’t quite know how to feel about it.
It’s pretty slow in the beginning, about 30 percent is just them being “hateful” towards each other while actively not trying to acknowledge the obvious physical and emotional chemistry between them.
The more and more i flipped the pages, the more i fell in love!!
Ryan is the epitome of the best book boyfriend you could imagine.
He’s patient, kind and thoughtful.
Although, at times, i thought he and Josie both were too judgmental of each other and what the other enjoyed to spend their free time reading.
So what, he reads romance?
And so what, she doesn’t read romance?
But as we get deeper into their story, we realize they each had their own reasons for having their opinions.
This story was surprisingly very insightful, loving and deep.
Not too deep to where you’re contemplating your life choices, but deep in the sense that you will be thinking about these characters and their abilities to over come trauma and presumptions about themselves and their careers.
With that being said, i think that Ryans employees, specifically indira, were way too judgmental.
They saw for themselves how Ryan also treated Josie, and he typically was more rude to her than she was to him.
Especially being women, reading romance and working at a romance store, they should know how it feels for people to be prejudice about a Genre they enjoy, and should be mindful and have told Ryan to be kinder.
That being said…at times Josie was, i will say, a prude.
Especially in the scene where ryan had her read “beach read” by Emily Henry Aloud and she texted RJ and said that women and men dont have intimate moments like that IRL. She was almost disgusted at the idea of having good, respectful and yet “mind blowing” s3x. I thought it was childish of her, honestly.
You’re 30. Grow up.
Georgia, her sister, was also too almoy judgmental of Josie and her trauma growing up with their mother. Especially for someone who was becoming a psychiatrist. She didn’t seem to take into account the things she dint see growing up, because Josie spent her time shielding her and protecting her from all the chaos.
Other than that, that was the only few times this book pissed me off.
All in all i’d give it a 4.5 out of ten!

More like bookstore baddies unite
Format: Kindle
If you are looking for a book with excellent banter, easy-to-love characters, and a romance that will completely charm you, put this one on your TBR immediately! 📚✨
Let’s talk about the character dynamics because they absolutely stole the show for me:
🛡️ The FMC: Josie Klein wears an emotional suit of armor and is a little rough around the edges when it comes to letting people in. If you love Ali Hazelwood’s FMCs, you will fully understand and adore Josie. Watching her walls come down was everything.
🐾 The MMC: Absolute GOLDEN RETRIEVER energy. He is a big softie with a heart of gold, but—and this is the crucial part—he isn’t afraid to put his foot down when it matters. The perfect balance.
The banter between these two was top-tier, and the entire setting had me hooked from start to finish. It’s an absolute 10/10 for me!

Cute and predictable
Format: Kindle
Rom-com wrapped I’m a literary tote bag. The story was cute, predictable, but satisfying. Josie’s voice was cringy at times. Despite that, the characters are likable and everyone got their moment of closure. I’d give it one chile for spice.
