The Beatrice P1 is a one channel handset.

The user of the handset on the P1 can listen to one audio feed from the network and send one audio channel out onto the network. Depending upon how the Dante network has been routed, the incoming audio circuit and outgoing audio circuit can be different locations and the outgoing circuit can be routed to multiple locations.

Audio to / from the handset is automatically turned on when the handset is off the hook and turned off when on the hook.

The Beatrice P1 unit is fully compatible with other manufacturers' equipment using the Dante protocol.
