JOVE JVE-S2
The Consilium AM1 is a dedicated audio microphone unit designed for use with Consilium Navigation Voyage Data Recorder (VDR) systems. Serving as the primary audio capture component, it records bridge communications, ambient sound, and crew voice input as part of the vessel’s black box data logging infrastructure. Proper functioning of the VDR audio input is a critical element of SOLAS-compliant voyage data recording, making this unit essential to onboard safety and incident investigation readiness. Referenced under part number 707020, it is also identified within the Consilium system as the JOVE JVE-S2 audio microphone interface.
Key Features
✓ Purpose-built audio microphone unit for Consilium Navigation VDR systems, providing reliable voice and ambient sound capture on the bridge.
✓ Specified frequency response characteristics: 3.5 kHz at 68 dB and 4.8 kHz at 66 dB sensitivity ratings as indicated in the original product data.
✓ Compatible with Consilium VDR installations where the AM1 audio input channel is required; system integration subject to confirmation against vessel-specific VDR configuration.
✓ Intended for bridge or wheelhouse installation in controlled indoor environments; mounting location and wiring arrangement depend on the specific VDR cabinet and bridge layout.
✓ Direct replacement unit for ageing or failed microphone assemblies within existing Consilium VDR setups, supporting continued compliance with voyage data recording requirements.
Marine Applications
✓ Bridge audio capture on merchant vessels operating under SOLAS VDR requirements, where continuous voice recording is mandated.
✓ Replacement component for Consilium VDR-equipped cargo ships, tankers, and bulk carriers requiring restoration of full audio recording functionality.
✓ Integration within Simplified Voyage Data Recorder (S-VDR) or full VDR systems on vessels where Consilium Navigation equipment is installed.
✓ Used during VDR annual performance testing and maintenance periods when audio input units are inspected, tested, or replaced.
✓ Applicable to passenger ferries, offshore support vessels, and other regulated vessel types where Consilium VDR systems are fitted as part of the safety equipment inventory.
