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. Call your favorite CircuitWerkes dealer for more information
and pricing.
