You Need The TX-AT1S!
The TX-AT1S is part of the group of versatile Max-TX series products from Radio Design Labs. Max-TX
modules are the large format members of the RDL TX family, featuring the superior engineering and
components common to RDL products. The durable adhesives provided with the TX-AT1S permit
permanent or removable mounting. The TX-AT1S may be rack or surface mounted with optional TX
series accessories.
APPLICATION: The TX-AT1S is the ideal choice in many applications requiring studio quality transformer
coupling between balanced audio equipment and a balanced line in environments where harmful impulses
and unwanted rf pickup are likely.
The TX-AT1S is a single-channel (mono) module featuring barrier block connections for the input and
output. A studio-quality audio transformer couples the audio input to the audio output. A common ground
terminal is connected to the TX-AT1S metal support structure. The TX-AT1S incorporates the latest in
surface mount, all solid-state (no gas tube), transient suppression technology coupled with ferrite high
frequency suppression.
A 1:1 audio transformer provides galvanic isolation. The audio transformer has 600 Ohm primary and
secondary bifilar windings, though is optimized to be driven from a low-impedance source into a bridging
load. The primary and/or secondary may be wired unbalanced, providing conversion between balanced
and unbalanced audio lines. The TX-AT1S delivers the wideband audio, ultra-low distortion, audio clarity
and headroom common to studio equipment in a module suited to both studio and general-purpose audio
installations.
The TX-AT1S’s compact size permits mounting in a variety of spaces and in various locations in
equipment racks. The TX-AT1S may be mounted where needed, to rack sides or in an equipment rack
(either the front or rear rack rails) using a variety of available RDL mounting options. Use the TX-AT1S
individually, or combine it with other RDL products as part of a complete audio/video system.
