Features
e Telos Hx1 and Hx2 hybrids include many features that have historically been
“add ons” or options. See the list below.
♦ A high-pass lter reduces hum and low frequency noise. High- frequency
noise above the telephone frequency range is also attenuated.
♦ A smart digital Automatic Gain Control (AGC) smooths output levels. e
gain changes occur naturally, delivering consistent levels without processing
artifacts. A settable noise gate/expander on the receive path reduces phone line
noise during caller pauses.
♦ An adjustable override function allows ducking of the caller while the an-
nouncer is speaking.
♦ Feedback is reduced by a special “pitch shifting” arrangement while echo is
reduced with a basic Acoustic Echo Canceler.
♦ Fixed or adaptive EQ helps to correct deciencies in a callers telephone set or
the network, resulting in a clearer, warmer, more intelligible sound from the
caller.
♦ Front panel metering is provided for input and output levels. EQ gain changes
are displayed in real time.
♦ Auto-Answer capabilities with a selectable ring count allows for unattended
operation.
♦ Worldwide disconnect signal detection allows use of the hybrid in dierent
countries and with various PBXs.
♦ e Hx is equipped with a complete diagnostic system for system set-up and
check-out.
♦ Optional AES3 support is available.
♦ Built-in universal power supply and rack mount design aids in a professional
installation.
♦ e Hx has built-in full remote control capability, including outputs for “line
ringing” and “hybrid in use” indicators.
♦ Telos “Status Symbols” provide clear visual cues to operators.
