Please see additional remarks at the end of the listing. Details This auction is for a Gentner Digital Hybrid broadcast phone-in interface - which connects a telephone line to your broadcast console.I believe that this is an unused unit that was never installed. It may show signs of extended storage as this product was discontinued a while ago (although it still remains a firm favorite with Radio and TV stations for its powerful yet intuitive functionality), so I'll list it as used. A computer-controlled line optimization process (the burst of white noise you hear when the DJ or screener answers the call) ensures that the system is adjusted for the specific line conditions associated with each incoming call. The large majority of phone-in calls you hear on the air today are passing through one of this range of boxes. The user manual may be obtained . Unit has firmware V2.5.3 (if I ready the chip label correctly). A view of the interior is available View 1 , View 2 , View 3 , View 4 so you can check the specifications. Two line cards are installed so this unit can interface to 6 phone lines or analog PABX extensions. The unit is expandable to 12 lines. Input voltage can range from 85-240V. Listing includes rack mount Mainframe Unit, 2 Control Surfaces (Studio & Screener Stations), 2x Control Surface power supplies, 2x 10' Console Interconnect cables. Does not include documentation or software etc. The connectors on the rear for the lines are standard 50 Pin Centronics types. If you need matching plugs then they may be obtained . Manufacturer's Product Overview The TS612 is a multi-line telephone system designed to bring caller audio into a broadcast situation. The mainframe contains two internal digital hybrids that provide high-quality interface to six telephone lines (expandable to 12). The dual hybrids allow the TS612 to operate as a single-studio telephone system able to conference up to four callers simultaneously or as a two-studio system able to conference two callers to each studio. The TS612 supports a dedicated call-screening control surface. An off-air screener takes incoming calls and places them in a screened-hold queue. The on-air talent or producer presses the NEXT button on the main control surface and the call is immediately on-air. The integrated mix-minus provides superior audio quality and simple installation. Automatic gain control (AGC) provides consistent audio levels on all calls. The TS612 can be configured to operate as a single-studio dual hybrid system, or as two independent studios with a single digital hybrid for each studio. The system is expandable via the Network Interface to accommodate up to 9 studios sharing 12 telephone lines. Features/Benefits Split-Caller mode brings the two hybrid outputs to the audio console independently. Split-Hybrid mode brings the two hybrid outputs to the console independently and returns your program mix to the TS612 on two separate channels. Previous-Hold places calls on hold automatically when you select another line. Two-Button Hold allows you to place a single call on hold when two or more lines are conferenced together. Two-Button Off allows you to disconnect any line by pressing the OFF button followed by the button for the line to be disconnected. 6 or 12 lines Auto Mix-Minus RS-232 control (Enhanced) Drop-in console panels Expandable system Optional screener air control Aux I/O control (Enhanced) Held audio input for callers on hold The... read more
