Telos will introduce North America to its newest multi-line broadcast telephone system, the Telos Hx6, at the 2013 NAB show in Las Vegas, April 8 - 11, 2013.

Hx6 is a six-line Talkshow system equipped with advanced Telos hybrids and a full suite of audio processing capabilities (including Telos' renowned Digital Dynamic EQ) that are designed to extract excellent caller audio from even the most unruly far-end connections. Hx6 works with POTS or ISDN phone lines, and comes equipped with dual hybrids for high-quality conferencing — the same advanced technology used in the best-selling Telos Hx1 and Hx2 telephone hybrids.

"Ask any broadcaster, and they'll tell you that Telos has the best-sounding phone systems in the industry," remarks Kirk Harnack, Vice President and Executive Director of Telos. "A lot of those kudos are due to the reputations of our six-line phone systems, which have become legendary within the industry for reliable operation and outstanding sound quality. Hx6 continues the tradition of Telos excellence plus affordability — clients are telling us it's our best-sounding six-line system ever!"

With its huge feature set and superior sound quality, Hx6 gives an instant audio upgrade to broadcasters with phone-centric programming. Benefits include:

• Our most advanced digital hybrids, with DSP algorithms optimized for superior performance with today's wide variety of incoming call types, including VoIP and mobile callers.
• Telos DDEQ (Digital Dynamic EQ) and adjustable smart-level AGC, which provide spectrally consistent audio from call to call — even on calls from notoriously tough mobile handsets.
• Smooth, proven symmetrical wide-range AGC by the audio processing experts at Omnia.
• Studio adaptation and a subtle, inaudible pitch shifter that work together to prevent feedback in open-speaker studio environments.
• A sophisticated caller override that improves performance and allows precision adjustment of the degree to which talent audio "ducks" the caller audio.
• Beautiful new Telos VSet6 six-line phone controllers with large, colorful VGA LCD displays for intuitive operation and setup. Telos-exclusive Status SymbolsTM provide producers and talent with animated, high-contrast icons that communicate line and caller status at a glance.
• Three different Hx6 versions for use with analog POTS phone lines, ISDN-S (Europe), or ISDN-U (North American) digital phone lines.
• Caller ID for both analog and digital telephone connections, which is displayed on the VSet6 phoneset and the included XScreen Lite call screening application.
• Direct, on-console control of multiple lines and hybrids from Axia IP-Audio mixing consoles.
• Choice of standard Analog I/O or optional, extra-cost AES/EBU I/O.
• Livewire IP-Audio I/O is included for fast, one-cable connection to Axia networks.
• Easy setup and configuration via Ethernet using any PC and Web browser.
• XScreen Lite call screening software from Broadcast Bionics included with each Hx6 system.

Telos Hx6 is shipping now, with a manufacturer's suggested list price of $3,790 for a POTS system which includes a VSet6 phone controller and XScreen Lite call screening software.

Visitors to NAB in Las Vegas, 8 - 11 April 2013, can see the new Hx6 Talkshow System and the entire family of Telos broadcast equipment at the Telos Alliance display in the LVCC Central Hall, Booth C3007.
