ASHLY CLX 52 Stereo Compressor Limiter

  The CLX Series compressor/limiters use an "infinite soft-knee" characteristic and timing based on compression ratio. This, combined with a dual release time, allows program density to increase as the input signal increases. The result is a peak controller with very low noise, smooth sound, and excellent stereo tracking without the usual "constricted" limiter sound. The CLX-51 and CLX-52 have many ways to deal with any gain structure. The mechanical design is ready for years of rugged service and we back our quality with Ashly's exclusive Five Year Worry-Free Warranty. The CLX series is extremely useful for such diverse applications as loudspeaker protection, vocal level control, broadcast limiting, musical instrument sustain, special effects, and CD to cassette transfers.

Features
Unique High Density design puts SIX gates in
minimum rack space
Intuitive, 'user friendly' layout
Balanced Inputs and Outputs
Fast, low noise opto-coupler circuitry
Sidechain/Key Input points on each channel
Hardwire Bypass switch on each gate
Flawless performance in any audio environment

The sheer amount of effects and signal processors required for today's
standards of audio production puts a great strain on the available space
in equipment racks, both in the studio and on the road.
So, in order to give engineers more control in less space, we've created
the ARX Sixgate; Six full function noise gates neatly housed in a compact,
all steel 1 RU package, without sacrificing features or quality.
Why Six gates?
Research shows that the majority of noise gates get used on drum kits,
which means using typically 5 to 6 gate channels. Compare this to the
two or maybe 4 channels that most other units have, and you'll see the
reason for the Sixgate's success.And, by using a minimalist approach to
drum gates, the ARX Sixgate has enough gates left over for backing vocals
and other instruments.
Industry Standard controls
Front panel controls for each gate consist of the 'Industry Standard' controls
for Release, Depth and Threshold, plus Red and Green LED displays to indicate
Gate Open or Closed status, and an IN/OUT hardwire bypass switch.
In addition to this, each gate has a blank panel to write on for easy confirmation
of gate assigns. No more pieces of masking tape stuck everywhere!
Ultra Low Noise
Internally, each gate has proprietary ARX ultra low noise high-speed opto-coupler
circuitry with program dependent Attack time, which tracks the incoming signal to
automatically determine optimum gate response.
Balanced Inputs and Outputs
The rear panel features true differential Balanced Inputs and Outputs for each gate,
on insulated TRS jack connectors.Each gate channel also has Individual Key Inputs/
Sidechain access insert points which can be used either for gate control by an external
signal, or for frequency sensitive gating (when used in conjuction with an external
equalizer such as the ARX EQ260).
Universal AC Power
AC power range on the Sixgate is a universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V, and is
connected to the unit via a standard 3 pin IEC connector, with built-in fuse and voltage
switch.
The Sixgate's unique combination of High Density design, intuitive 'user friendly' controls,
and clean uncluttered layout make it a truly useful audio tool for all applications.

Innovation
The ARX COMPO? is a unique compressor/limiter designed for use in any
professional audio dynamics control application, packaged in a compact 1
RU chassis.The COMPO operates as two independent compressor/limiters,
with 'industry standard' variable Threshold, Ratio and Output gain controls.
A Stereo Link switch on the front panel lets both channels track as a stereo
pair in a Master/Slave configuration.
Enhance Switch
The COMPO features an 'Enhance' switch, which provides frequency restoration
to preserve the spectral balance of the audio signal, compensating for the sagging
Low and High frequency response of compressed program material.
The best way to think of it is as a 'smart' loudness control.
Wide Scale metering
There is comprehensive LED indication of all operating functions and status. Above
or Below Threshold LEDs on each channel give you instant visual confirmation of
compressor activity, as well as easy to read LED Gain Reduction meters.
Balanced Inputs and Outputs
On the rear panel, each channel has true differential Balanced inputs and outputs,
on both XLR and TRS jack connectors. Other features include an Active/Bypass
switch for each channel, and passive RFI filters on the inputs.
Universal AC Power
AC power range is a universal 100 to 120V or 220 to 240V AC, and is connected to
the unit via a removable power lead and standard 3 pin IEC connector, with built-in
fuse and voltage change switch.
ARX Quality
With its smooth compression, intuitive user friendly layout, high density precision
circuitry, and extensive user-variable operating parameters, the ARX COMPO is the
ideal installation 'set and forget' compressor, and is also equally at home in Studio,
Broadcast and Sound Reinforcement environments.

Every day, ARX Audio interface products solve audio problems for thousands of people
around the world.

AXEL Compact telephone hybrid. Management of 1 wired PSTN / POTS line, electronically balanced input and output on XLR connector

Product Discription:

BoxTel MKII is an analogue telephone hybrid, designed to interface a telephone line with audio equipments. BoxTel MKII manages 1
POTS/PSTN line, whereas BoxTel GSM manages 1 GSM line to establish telephone connections where wired lines are not present.

A powerful internal microcontroller completely manages both BoxTel MKII and BoxTel GSM, allowing the configuration of the operating modes
via software. The internal microcontroller provides further functions such as adjustment of the line impedance according to the region,
visualization of the Send/Receive audio levels on the front leds, line detecting presence of a telephone line, buzzer with adjustable level,
AutoHook - automatic line hooking and answering after a certain number of rings. While BoxTel MKII is operative, its possible to exclude or
keep connected in parallel an external telephone set (Tel.Set).

The backlit Hook/Ring button on the front panel allows a quick management of the phone calls; each time a telephone call is incoming the
BoxTels Hook/Ring button starts to flash, by pressing it the operator answer the phone call. BoxTel MKII has the Line Detecting function,
which makes the Hook/Ring button switch on in presence of a telephone line.

BoxTel MKII and BoxTel GSM are devices equipped with an internal power supply enabling great audio performance: two separate
Send/Receive front potentiometers manage the audio level, with a total range of +/- 15dB. The input sensitivity is set at 0dBu while the
maximum output level is greater than +20 dBu.

The audio connections are separated for Send/Receive and are available over XLR electronically balanced connectors. A RJ11C connector
allows the telephone line connection (Tel.Line) and one more RJ11C connector performs the connection to an external telephone set (Tel.Set).
A GPIO port with optocouplers and open collector is provided to establish remote connections between BoxTel MKII and BoxTel GSM and
mixing console. It is possible to connect directly the Telco module of an Oxygen4, Oxygen5 and Oxygen7 console with BoxTel MKII/BoxTel GSM
by using a simlpe Pin-to-Pin cable. Internal universal power supply 90-264Vac/47-63Hz to operate worldwide.

Thanks to all of their features, BoxTel MKII and BoxTel GSM represent the telephone hybrids with the best quality/price ratio available on the
marketplace. BoxTel MKII and BoxTel GSM occupy ½ rack unit - LxHxD 22x5x13cm.
