Radio Design Labs TX1W
Music On Hold Amplifier - Power Supply Not Included

TX1W

The TX-1W is part of the group of versatile TX series products from Radio Design Labs. The TX series feature the advanced circuitry for which RDL products are known, combined with durable, quality connectors. The ultra-compact TX series can be mounted in limited space using the adhesive methods popularized by RDL’s STICK-ON® Series. The TX-1W may be mounted directly to a backboard or chassis using a variety of mounting options available from Radio Design Labs.

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 caller's 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 caller's earpiece. Attempts to reduce listener fatigue through high-frequency roll off alone tends 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. 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 be connected 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 a balanced output through the barrier block, suitable for direct connection of telephone-type wire.

For Music-on-Hold installations of any input impedance or audio configuration, the TX-1W is the universal choice. Use the TX-1W individually, or combine it with other RDL Rack-Up® or STICK-ON paging, automatic paging or audio processing modules as part of a complete audio/video system.
