Kestel
NO

How it works

One small box at the desk does all the mixing. Everything else connects to it.

  1. The box

    A small, silent computer runs the Kestel mixer. Every person gets their own mix of the lines they listen to, minus their own voice.

  2. Wired headsets

    Plug headsets into a USB audio interface on the box. Preamp gain, levels and sidetone are set from the panel.

  3. Beltpacks

    Crew members scan a QR code once with the Kestel app on their phone. After that the phone is a beltpack with big talk keys. A dedicated Kestel beltpack is on the way.

  4. Dante

    The box can send and receive Dante audio and follow or lead the Dante clock. Dante support is unofficial and not approved by Audinate.

  5. The panel

    Open the box's panel in a browser: who is talking, who is online, battery and signal for every beltpack, and every setting.

  6. Remote access

    Link the box to your kestel.no account once. Then log in at kestel.no, see all your boxes, and open any panel from anywhere. You can invite other admins, and switch remote access off on the box at any time. On the venue network the panel works as before, with or without internet.

A network just for Kestel

The box only needs to reach kestel.no to be managed from outside. Nothing has to be opened on the venue router, so Kestel can live on its own network.
