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.
