DHY-04 Single Automatic Digital TBU, AES/EBU & , Analogue I/O With Ethernet

Key new features of the unit include:

• Auto-sensing combined analogue or AES/EBU XLR input.
• AES/EBU sample rates up to 24 bit/96kHz accepted.
• Configurable analogue or AES/EBU XLR output.
• Ethernet port for remote configuration via web browser GUI.
• Remote dialling and line hold control via Ethernet.
• Ethernet network interface can generate SNMP Traps for SNMP management systems.
• DTMF dial tone recognition for reporter remote access - a journalist can dial into the unit which can recognise a pre-programmed DTMF numeric password to automatically connect the journalist on-air.
• Four front panel speed-dial buttons for dialling internally preset phone numbers.
• Front panel Redial button for redialling the last number.

The DHY-04 also has the following features:

• Fully automatic - adapts to varying line conditions and has automatic signal limiting.
• Fully adaptive echo cancellation to 127msec - default is 24msec.
• 70dB typical line balance rejection offering superb performance and crystal clear audio.
• Front panel input and output gain controls.
• Front panel LED metering of receive and send signals.
• Built-in conferencing for 2 hybrids, so that a single telco channel on a mixing desk can receive 2 calls.
• Integrated ring detector - automatic call answering after a pre-determined number of rings.
• Automatic call disconnection. Fitted with K-break, line polarity reversal and dial tone disconnect detection, defined by the country selection.
• Automatic ducking facility allows the talent to ‘shout-down’, or talk over, a caller by reducing the gain of the caller’s signal if it goes above a certain level.
• Local and remote line hold switching - calls can be remotely switched through a mixing console.
• Line hold/release button to control line hold circuit, illuminates to indicate the status of the line and flashes to show ring status.
• DTMF tone recognition allowing a opto-isolated GPI output to be made on receipt of selected DTMF tones, e.g. for starting a studio automation recorder automatically to record a remote telephone interview.
• International operation with built-in configurable settings for each country. Country selection allows the unit to provide line impedance and a simulation circuit to match the country.
• RS232 serial port for remote control of the TBU & , DTMF tone dialling.
• Remote port distributes the remote line connect switch and tally output, a momentary/latch selector and the DTMF detect output.
• The remote line connect switch can be either momentary or latching in its action.
• Balanced mic/line input - 10k balanced input selectable for 0dBu clean feed line, or microphone level with adjustable gain.
• Balanced output - 0dBu low impedance balanced output, with output gain settings.
• Record output - the conferencing output can be set via a jumper to give a mix of the caller and mic/line input signals for recording both sides of the telephone conversation.
• Line limiter, bandpass filter and output noise gate with preset threshold providing low distortion audio.
• Built in universal power supply between 90V AC and 250V AC, 47-63Hz, IEC mains input.
• ETSI approval compliant with European PTT specifications.
