AC-12
Rack Mounted Bank of Couplers
|
Now you can fit up
to a dozen full featured telephone
autocouplers in 5¼" of rack space
The
AC-12 rack mounted coupler bay is ideal for
replacing that wall full of individual telephone
couplers. You can fit up to twelve full-featured
autocouplers in a three-RU (5¼") rack space.
When you install the AC-12, you can eliminate
the problems and mess of multiple coupler boxes
and wires that you used to need for serious
telephone distribution and production. The
AC-12's card frame features a two channel audio
buss that can be accessed with the flick of a
switch from any of the individual couplers. If
you want to take a separate program feed from an
individual coupler, the audio select switch
allows you instant access to the coupler card's
independent audio port without affecting buss
audio. As you might have guessed, sending audio
to the couplers is easy. All you have to do is
connect your source to one of the AC-12's two,
bridging, buss inputs, set the coupler switch to
the buss you want, adjust the level (a one-time
adjustment) and you're ready to send. If you
ever need to feed a second program down some of
your lines, you'll wonder how you ever lived
without the second audio buss. Not only can you
send two feeds simultaneously, you can also
leave a second source permanently wired to the
coupler. There's no need to build an external
switcher for your second audio feed when you
have the AC-12.

At the heart of the AC-12 is the AC-1
autocoupler card. Now available in two versions,
both offer a host of features not found on any
other coupler at any price. The AC-1s can do it
all. Both local and remote manual controls let you
operate the coupler from anywhere. The AC-1's
status indicators for ring, online, power and
clipping are visible through the smoked front
cover, making it easy to tell the status of each
card. Remote outputs for ring and online are also
available on the back of each card. A user
selectable, momentary or latching, dry relay
contact closure occurs whenever the coupler comes
on-line. The AC-1 offers a ring counter feature
that let's you select on which ring each coupler
will answer.
The newest addition to the AC-1 family is the
AC-1h. Featuring a simple active hybrid, the AC-1h
provides an active, balanced, audio output and a
bridging, balanced, audio input that is ideal for
IFB feeds from intercom systems and any other
system that needs a bridging feed. Depluggable
screw terminals give you easy access to the local
audio input and outputs. An active audio limiter
gently prevents telephone line overload while
maintaining optimum "send" levels so callers will
have no trouble picking up audio from your
couplers. The AC-1h includes gain controls for
both local send and receive levels. Designed from
scratch in 2008, the AC-1h is microprocessor
controlled and adds even more features beyond the
original AC-1 coupler series.
Both the original AC-1 and the AC-1h are available
now.
If
you currently have a bunch of couplers stuck on
a wall or a rack shelf, you'll appreciate the
neat, space saving benefits of the AC-12. You
may be shocked to realize just how much space
(not to mention headaches) that you can save
with the AC-12. With it's many features, ease of
use and attractive design, you might expect to
pay a lot for an AC-12, but you'll find it
remarkably affordable... probably a lot
less than a similar number of single couplers.
