Overview
Introducing the innkeeper PBX™
Innkeeper PBX easily converts your multi-line PBX type telephone system into
a professional, affordable talk show console. Simply connect between your
telephone handset and the phone base.
What is a Digital Hybrid?
The innkeeper PBX digital hybrid connects audio signals to and from the handset
side of a telephone without the variations in quality found with analog hybrids.
The main function of a hybrid is to bring in the caller’s voice from the phone line
as clear and clean as possible. In the real world, when you send your voice down
the telephone line it has a tendency to bleed over into the caller’s audio. The
hybrid must adapt to the phone line in order to properly separate transmit and
receive audio. We use a 16 bit DSP (Digital Signal Processor) to continuously
monitor the phone line and local audio signals to deliver excellent trans-hybrid
loss, also known as separation. Our dual-convergence algorithm can achieve
excellent separation, typically exceeding 50 dB.
Ready to go?
