Sonifex Gives Voice To 'Phone In 6'

Sonifex is this week showing the new Phone In 6 radio station talkshow system.
At BVE 2011 on stand number H50, Sales Manager, Eamonn Heffernan said: "The Phone In 6 is another great new innovation from Sonifex. It's a robust and stylish talkshow system for radio show phone-ins that allows talk-show hosts to take calls from up to 6 callers and route them to air through two separate digital telephone hybrids, or to conference two callers together."
The Phone In 6 is capable of interfacing to 2, 4, or 6 phone lines by fitting up to 3 modules, where each module can have 2 x PSTN lines or 1 x ISDN BRI line. The ISDN basic rate interface allows 2 calls to be handled, 1 on each B channel.
The PSTN module has 2 interfaces each using a modern digital hybrid interface, which is settable by software to handle a variety of PSTN and PABX systems with varying impedances, call connection & disconnection tones.
The unit comprises 2 boxes: The PI-6C 1U rack mounted Base Console (BC) unit, which has all the audio & telephony connections together with the metering and complex controls.
Secondly, there is the PI-6R Remote Control Panel (RCP) which connects via Ethernet based cabling to the main unit and allows the user to see the status of each caller, to receive an incoming call and to subsequently route it to the mixing desk. It also includes connectors for a headset that enable remote dialling out and the screening of incoming calls.
The Base Console has 3 module positions on the rear panel into which either of the PI-PSTN2 (2 x analogue telephone lines) or PI-ISDN2 (2 x ISDN B channels) modules can be fitted. The Base Console is capable of connecting internal DSP and hybrid circuits to any 2 lines and routing these out to a studio-mixing desk.
