The TX-LC2 is the ideal choice in installations requiring the active, isolated mixing of two unbalanced line-level audio sources to feed a balanced (or unbalanced) audio input.

The input circuits are high-impedance, line-level (-10 dBV) and are isolated from each other. Therefore the modules may be used to bridge an unbalanced stereo source without affecting the stereo separation. The output from the TX-LC2 is a mono mix of the stereo signal. Gain of the combined signals is adjustable from -10 to +10 dB (rel. +4 dBu output).

The TX-LC2 may also be used to mix two separate sources into a single output. The mixing circuit in the module is an active summing amplifier.

The output driver provides a 150  balanced source to drive high or low impedance, balanced or unbalanced lines.

The input connectors make connection of the TX-LC2 easy. The broad gain range makes the TX-LC2 ideally suited to any installation where a balanced mono signal is needed from a stereo unbalanced source, particularly low-output consumer products such as certain televisions.

Use the TX-LC2 individually, or combine it with other RDL modules and accessories as part of a complete audio/video system.

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.
