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.

In today's recording and sound reinforcement environments, the need for multiple channels of high quality, easy to use compression is growing rapidly. The new dbx® 1046 is designed to provide the audio professional with just that: 4 channels of great sounding dbx compression for a variety of applications. Incorporating the industry standard dbx designs and the latest available manufacturing techniques, the dbx 1046 provides pristine sonic quality with that classic dbx sound.

The 1046 provides 4 channels of smooth classic dbx OverEasy® or Hard Knee compression that are perfectly suited for use on individual tracks of your multitrack recorder, and in virtually all applications the separate channels can be individually interfaced and used for entirely independent purposes. Additionally the newly developed PeakStopPlus™ is ideal for protecting your system from the oppressive peaks that can take out valuable drivers in your sound reinforcement rig or studio monitors.

All four channels have the following controls:

Threshold - allows you to set the level at which the compressor starts affecting the gain

OverEasy - allows you to select between soft compression for overall gain control or Hard Knee compression based on the characteristics of the original dbx 160.

Ratio - allows you to set the slope of gain reduction affecting the signal over the threshold level.

Input/Output Meter - allows you to set the meter to check the input and output levels for maximum signal-to-noise ratio and best level matching.

Output Gain - allows you to add make-up gain or to adjust the output level for that channel to match the next device's input gain.

Bypass - hard wire bypass allows you to hear how the compressor is affecting your signal.

PeakStopPlus - allows you to set the maximum signal level you want to pass through this channel. While it's virtually impossible to eliminate distortion, the PeakStopPlus circuit does it gracefully and effectively with minimal distortion.

Stereo Link - allows you to link channels 1&2 and 3&4 for two channels of true stereo compression.

All four channels feature balanced gold plated XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs, and switchable +4dBu or -10dBV operating level to interface each individual channel with any other device.

So whether you need to control the level, placement in the mix, or overall characteristics of 4 independent signals or control the gain leveling on a couple of stereo pairs, the dbx 1046 is for you.

 

  • Four independent channels of operation, stereo linkable in two pairs
  • PeakStopPlus™ limiting control for setting maximum allowable level regardless of compressor settings
  • Independent Threshold and ratio controls
  • Switchable OverEasy® or Hard Knee compression
  • Classic dbx® compression
  • Differentially balanced gold-plated XLR and 1/4" inputs and outputs
  • True RMS level detection
  • Precision metering of input level, output level, and gain reduction
  • Dual True stereo or quad mono operation
  • Switchable +4dBu or -10dBV operation per channel

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.
