Our Most Popular Digital Hybrid.
Broadcast Host turns your desktop into a professional
broadcast center. Contains everything you need to get
talk show quality phone recordings into your mixer or
sound card.
Connect a mic and headphones for a simple broadcast
back to the station. Already at the station? Use
Broadcast Host in your newsroom to record high
quality interviews. Broadcast Host allows you to send
mic and line level signals into the phone line while
maintaining excellent separation between your voice
and the caller. The stereo output jack on the back of
the unit provides your voice on one channel and only
the caller’s voice on the other channel. The balanced
XLR output jack contains only the caller’s voice.
The digital hybrid connects audio signals to a standard
analog telephone line without the transmit / receive
crosstalk common to analog hybrids. The Digital Signal
Processor (DSP) continuously monitors both the phone
line and audio signals to deliver excellent separation.
This proprietary, dual-convergence echo canceller
algorithm can achieve excellent separation, typically
exceeding 50 dB, without any setup and without
sending a noise burst down the line.
Broadcast Host provides connections for a
microphone, headphones, mixer, sound card,
telephone and your analog telephone line. An
auxiliary telephone is only required to place outgoing
calls. The auxiliary telephone is disconnected when
you press the Call button, and reconnected when you
press the Drop button.
Broadcast Host features Auto-Answer/Auto Disconnect
for use in IFB and monitoring applications. Other
applications include: Podcasting/telephone interviews,
talk shows, church PA interface, and conference room
full duplex applications.
