RDL TX-1W Music On Hold Amplifier

The TX-1W is the ideal choice in on-site installations where the central telephone switching unit needs to be fed with music, voice or combined music/voice signals.

There is a wide variety of telephone instruments in use. When a caller is placed on hold, the audio quality perceived is affected by the callers own telephone, as well as the telephone lines, central switch and on-site equipment. Due to these variations, conventional audio amplifiers used as music-on-hold drivers frequently produce annoying artifacts at the callers earpiece. Attempts to reduce listener fatigue through high-frequency rolloff alone tend to produce a muffled, tired sound.The TX-1W features a spectral response specifically characterized to match the broadest variations in telephone audio distribution, producing a lively, crisp, interesting sound without the annoying resonances and distortions prone to creating listener fatigue.

Features:
• Feed Audio into Telephone Equipment Music-on-Hold Input
• Adjustable Audio Level
• Optimized Sound Quality
• Unbalanced Output, up to 1 Watt
• Balanced Transformer driver Output
• Ultra Compact Size

A single front-panel control is provided for audio level adjustment.The TX-1W provides an unbalanced input via a conventional phono jack. Two audio outputs are provided.The unbalanced output can drive virtually any system input impedance. This output is intended to connect to any phone system's unbalanced, connectorized input. The TX-1W will deliver standard line-level signals for typical (-10 dBV) inputs, but is capable of delivering up to 1 watt RMS into 8 Ohm inputs! For systems with a 600 Ohm transformer input, the TX-1W provides an electronically balanced output through the barrier block (a balancing transformer is required for feeding balanced 600 Ω telephone lines).

For music-on-hold installations of any input impedance or audio configuration, the TX-1W is the ideal choice. Use the TX-1W individually, or combine it with other RDL RACK-UP, STICK-ON, TX, or FLAT-PAK series products as part of a complete audio/video system.
