Description
The GS-PASTE 201 is a line powered, heavy duty analogue telephone balancing unit. It allows professional audio equipment such as mixers, talkback systems or headphone circuits to be connected to a traditional analogue telephone line.
Features:
- Provides balanced audio input and output from a normal POTS (Plain Old Telephone System) line
- No batteries or mains required
- Input compressor (prevents overloading of telephone line)
- R/C & line balance controls
- Internal tone generator for line balancing
- 1u 19" rack mount
A tone generator has been included to help with line balancing. Once a line is connected the tone can be switched on, so that the R and C can be balanced accordingly. Instructions for this are printed on the side of the unit.Once the best balance is achieved, the tone can be turned off. A front panel LED indicates an incoming call. There is also an audible ringer which can be turned off if required. This unit is in a 19 inch rack mount.
Inputs
Audio input is line level on a balanced Neutrik XLR
Input level control
Multi coloured LED indicates level sent to the line
Outputs
Audio output on balance Neutrik XLR.
Output level control
Telco Connections
There is an RJ-11 connector for external handset to allow dialling of outgoing calls. An On/Off Hook switch (with indicator) allows answering of calls when and external telephone is not connected. There is also an RJ-11 connector for connection to a normal telephone line. A recessed switch switches RJ-11 telephone line pairs (there are 2 different standards used Worldwide), for worldwide compatability.
