The TX-TPS1A is a single-pair audio sending module compatible with RDL Format-A twisted pair products. One line-level source may be connected to the module using either the -10 dBV unbalanced RCA phono jack or the +4 dBu balanced detachable terminal block. A studio-quality buffer amplifier feeds the RJ45 OUTPUT at the correct operating level.

The TX-TPS1A is a single-pair sender, feeding the input signal to the cable pair set on the front-panel switch during installation. This module drives only one cable pair, therefore a LOOP IN RJ45 jack is provided to accept signals and power from other mic-level or line-level Format-A senders. Two other single-pair senders may be chained to the LOOP IN jack, or a single two-pair sender may be connected. If three single-pair senders are connected together, each sender must feed a different pair: A, B or C. The TX-TPS1A must be set to feed pair A if it is connected together with an RDL two-pair sender that feeds stereo audio on pairs B and C.

The TX-TPS1A may be powered directly from a 24 Vdc power supply using either the power jack or the detachable terminal block. Local power connected to the module is also fed to all modules connected to the LOOP IN and OUTPUT RJ45 jacks. The TX-TPS1A may be remotely powered through the twisted pair cable from any other module, signal distributor or RDL power inserter connected to the same twisted pair cable. Module power is indicated by a front-panel LED.

TX SERIES

TX Series modules are application-specific modules for the A/V and related industries. Many TX modules offer galvanic transformer isolation. Module functions include signal detection, switching, amplification, format conversion, line driving, mixing, distribution, twisted-pair sending/receiving and more. Each TX is a compact module engineered to provide higher performance and longer life than other industry products. TX modules are solid encapsulated hybrid circuits in durable industrial black plastic/steel or aluminum enclosures with clear bold white lettering for the jacks, terminal block connections, trimming controls and switches.

TX modules are constructed in two widths and heights. All TXs are the same length, have the same mounting hole configuration, and are compatible with all TX series mounting options. A complete range of mounting options is available for systems utilizing multiple TX modules. A single TX module may be mounted right where its function is needed, and are widely used in system designs with OEM or other RDL products. TX SERIES modules are designed and manufactured in the U.S.A.
