The Telos Hx1 represents the highest state-of-the-art in hybrid performance, with Telos processing technologies that take the POTS hybrid to a new level of consistently superior performance, regardless of telephone line characteristics.
Inside the single-hybrid Hx1, you’ll find advanced hybrid technology with new features that significantly sweeten and control caller audio. It comes standard with Auto-Answer, caller disconnect detection, sophisticated new audio-leveling and anti-feedback routines for enhanced open-speaker applications, call screening and line-hold features, front-panel send and receive audio metering, plus much more.
Telos Hx1 Features:
โข Advanced hybrid algorithms
โข New symmetrical wide-range AGC and noise gate by Omnia, with adjustable gain settings
โข Studio adaption and pitch shifter help prevent feedback in situations where open speakers are required
โข Adjustable caller override improves performance and allows you to individualize the degree to which the announcer ducks the caller audio
โข Digital Dynamic EQ and adjustable smart leveler keeps audio spectrally consistent from call to call
โข New EQ High and EQ Low display meters
โข Separate Send level and Receive level meters
โข Status Symbols make life easier for producers and talent with their animated high-contrast icon display of line status
โข Place caller on-hold via front panel button
โข Auto-Answer with selectable ring count
โข Worldwide disconnect signal detection. (loop drop, dial tone, or re-order tone)
โข Input/output via analog XLR
โข Input switchable between MIC or LINE levels
