In the mid-1980s, Telos pioneered the very first digital adaptive telephone hybrid. Since then, their POTS phone hybrids have earned a worldwide reputation to deliver clean, clear caller audio from even the most difficult calls. The new 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 Telos' most advanced hybrid technology with new features that sweeten and control caller audio better than ever before. Hx hybrids come standard with features you won’t find in other POTS hybrids, like Auto-Answer, caller disconnect detection, sophisticated new audio-leveling and anti-feedback routines for enhanced open-speaker applications, call screening and line-hold features, and front-panel send and receive audio metering — plus much, much more.
This version of the Hx1 has AES/EBU digital I/O with automatic sample rate conversion in addition to the analog XLR I/O.
