100 DELTA

digital hybrid telephone interface


100 Delta

The Telos 100 Delta is our premiere POTS telephone interface, designed for mission-critical applications where quality audio and 24-hour reliability are paramount. Using advanced digital signal processing techniques, the 100 Delta produces the most natural sounding, two-way conversation even on the most difficult telephone lines. (See the "Q&A - Analog Systems" discussion in our Tech Talk section for more about this.)

Consistent output level, improved tonal quality and superior trans-hybrid loss for full-duplex audio are hallmarks of the Telos 100 Delta. Smart digital gain control and Digital Dynamic Equalization (DDEQ ) offer the highest level of caller intelligibility. In addition, callers can be monitored through open speakers without feedback.

In short: the 100 Delta, with its wide range of user-adjustable settings, allows you to tailor the sound of your calls and get better caller-to-caller audio than ever before—in situations where it counts the most. Check out these features:

  • Advanced auto-nulling digital hybrid has excellent send audio rejection and produces very pure caller audio. Trans-hybrid loss typically exceeds 50dB. The Telos 100 Delta automatically adapts to each new call.

  • DDEQ Digital Dynamic Equalization improves the tonal quality of caller audio by automatically correcting spectral degradation. This revolutionary technology, pioneered by Telos, results in more accurate and intelligible caller audio.

  • Digital Logarithmic Automatic Gain Control (dB linear AGC) for consistent operation over a greater dynamic range. This is a significant improvement over linear gain control schemes, as call levels presented to the hybrid may vary as much as 30dB.

  • Extremely smart and fast context-sensitive output AGC. Processing is only as dense as required for consistent caller levels. This section is cross-coupled to the input section so that telephone line noise and residual hybrid leakage are carefully and cleanly attenuated without low-level callers being gated off.

  • Two duplex-depth settings can be established and remotely selected. Duplex-depth is adjustable on both controls from full-duplex (no ducking) to half-duplex (switching). This allows remote switching from a "live" setup to one where calls will be recorded prior to airing.

  • Digital Echo Elimination, Telos' proprietary two-stage feedback suppression system. The 100 Delta allows significant gain-before-feedback when monitoring callers through open monitor speakers.

  • High- and low-pass filtering to clean up phone line noise and hum.
