What Is A Telephone Hybrid?
Telephone hybrids, or telephone balance units (TBUs) provide the interface between professional audio equipment and the public telephone network. They provide protection for your equipment and the public telephone lines, allowing for varying line signals and line conditions. Automatically cancelling out the unwanted signal they also facilitate two-way communication down a single telephone line. Each telephone hybrid has a telephone line connection, a handset connection and separate terminals for audio input and output from a broadcast mixer, or other professional audio source. A large proportion of Sonifex hybrids are used in radio and television broadcasting applications for allowing external callers to be connected to the studio mixing console.Most of the other units are supplied to communication operations for allowing extremely effective conversion between 4-wire audio circuits and standard telephone lines. A ringing detector can be used when you need to answer a call automatically, for instance, if a journalist files a report to a PC recorder over a telephone line, the call can be picked up after a set number of rings by the ringing detector. The DHY-04S has a built in ringing detector that is enabled by one of the configuration settings switches on the rear panel.
