Now 2 AES digital Stereo channels, four test tones channels with Voice ID! Forever end confusion over where each audio channel is being routed. Each of the four tone channels has a unique voice ID that will allow you to distinguish it from any other. User programmable voice ID can say almost anything in several different languages. You can create a bilingual ID. Program your company name, location, and channel information to be spoken in an easy to understand synthetic voice. Messages like “This is Leading Edge Studios, LA City Center, audio line four” are unmistakable and provide critical information. A wide variety of sound effects are available to enhance presentation.

Front panel switches allows complete control:
Select one of three preset frequencies. Default frequencies are 1000 Hz, 440 Hz, and 400 Hz. All channels are in phase with each other. | |
Select one of three preset levels. Default levels are analog: 4 dBu, 0 dBu, and -10 dBu; digital: -16 dBFS, -20 dBFS, and -30 dBFS. | |
Select Tone with Voice ID, Continuous Tone OFF, and Tone and ID OFF. | |
Select Internal Tones, Frequency Steps, or Internal Microphone. | |
Operates at industry standard 48KHz and professional audio 96KHz digital rates. |
Flexibility And Consistency:
AES digital serial on BNC connectors with standard 75 Ohm output. | |
Convenient full size XLR audio connectors with balanced 50 Ohm analog audio output. | |
Internal frequencies are digitally synthesized and crystal controlled. | |
Internal microphone lets you communicate over the test channels. | |
Voice ID function available in all modes. | |
Audio levels are controlled with a digital potentiometer. No wiper or switch noise. | |
Battery operated from standard 9V cell for those times when you just can't get line power | |
Compact low-voltage (12VDC) design can be easily used with mobile equipment. | |
Handy Front Panel LED indicates when markers are being sent. |
Voice ID Phrase Editing Software Included:
Channel Talker Voice ID can say almost anything. Phonemes are optimized for English, and can be utilized to speak several different languages. | |
Create common messages to be played on each channel and a unique message for each channel. | |
Programmable pause allows programming a quiet period for noise testing. | |
Optional Remote Control Software:
Windows based software package allows full remote control and customization of the Channel Talker.
Override and emulate all four of the front panel functions. | |
Select one of 5 frequencies. Programmable frequency selection range is 45 Hz to 7812 KHz. | |
Select one of 5 output levels. Programmable amplitude selection range selection is -10 dBu to 8 dBu. | |
Program different frequencies and levels into the front panel switches. | |
Any changes made to the control settings are retained indefinitely by saving them to EEPROM memory. |
Tone: Single internal audio tone is generated from a crystal controlled square wave filtered with an 8 pole Bessel digital filter sampled at 64 times the fundamental frequency. The third harmonic is attenuated more than 60 dB. Switch selectable frequencies are 1000, 440, and 400 Hz. Output 0dbU & -20dbFS +/-0.1dB, others +/-0.2dB. | |
Step: 6 stepped tones 125Hz, 250, 500, 1000, 2000, & 4000Hz nominal. Duration 500ms each continuously repeating. | |
Microphone: Internal, front panel, microphone allows user to communicate over all channels being tested. | |
Level: Maximum usable audio output is 8 dBu. Switch selection for internal tone of 4, 0 and -10 dBu. Level does not affect microphone setting. | |
Voice ID: Voice ID function selectable to overlay all output modes. Synthetic voice generator with 72 speech elements (allophones), 43 sound effects, and 12 DTMF Touch Tones. Configurable voice loudness, speed, and pitch characteristics. LED indicates when Voicing on channel 1. | |
AES Stereo digital outputs: Two digital stereo outputs provide 4 audio test channels (two left/right pairs). Serial output 1.5VPP nominal into 75 Ohms on BNC connector. Digital channels match analog output channels. Selectable digital rates of 48KHz and 96KHz. All tones are in phase. | |
Audio Output: Output balanced 50 Ohm on full size XLR male connectors. | |
Speech Memory: Storage for 218 phonemes (about fifteen seconds of speech). A Phrase can call other phrases to optimize memory usage. 16 phrases maximum, with 5 being typical. | |
