AC-12 Rack Mounted Bank of Couplers
Now you can fit up to a dozen full featured
telephone autocouplers in 5¼"
of rack space
The AC-12 rack mounted coupler bay is ideal
for replacing that wall full of individual
telephone couplers. You can fit up to twelve
full-featured autocouplers in a three-RU
(5¼") rack space. When you install
the AC-12, you can eliminate the problems
and mess of multiple coupler boxes and wires
that you used to need for serious telephone
distribution and production. The AC-12's
card frame features a two channel audio buss
that can be accessed with the flick of a
switch from any of the individual couplers.
If you want to take a separate program feed
from an individual coupler, the audio select
switch allows you instant access to the coupler
card's independent 600 ohm bidirectional
audio port without affecting buss audio.
As you might have guessed, sending audio
to the couplers is easy. All you have to
do is connect your source to one of the AC-12's
two, bridging, buss inputs, set the coupler
switch to the buss you want, adjust the level
(a one-time adjustment) and you're ready
to send. If you ever need to feed a second
program down some of your lines, you'll wonder
how you ever lived without the second audio
buss. Not only can you send two feeds simultaneously,
you can also leave a second source permanently
wired to the coupler. There's no need to
build an external switcher for your second
audio feed when you have the AC-12.

At the heart of the AC-12 is the AC-1 autocoupler
card. Now available in
two versions, both
offer a host of features
not found on any
other coupler at any price.
The AC-1s can
do it all. Both local and
remote manual controls
let you operate the coupler
from anywhere.
The AC-1's status indicators
for ring, online,
power and clipping are
visible through the
smoked front cover, making
it easy to tell
the status of each card.
Remote outputs for
ring and online are also
available on the
back of each card. Like
it's famous little
brother, the AC-2, a user
selectable, momentary
or latching, dry relay
contact closure occurs
whenever the coupler comes
on-line. The AC-1
offers a ring counter feature
that let's
you select on which ring
each coupler will
answer.
The newest addition to
the AC-1 family is
the AC-1H. Featuring a
simple active hybrid,
the AC-1H provides an active,
balanced, audio
output and a bridging,
balanced, audio input
that is ideal for IFB feeds
from intercom
systems and any other system
that needs a
bridging feed. The AC-1H
includes gain controls
for both local send and
receive levels. Designed
from scratch in 2008, the
AC-1h is microprocessor
controlled and adds even
more features beyond
the original AC-1 couplers.
Both the original AC-1 and the AC-1H are
available now.
If you currently have a bunch of couplers
stuck on a wall or a rack shelf, you'll appreciate
the neat, space saving benefits of the AC-12.
You may be shocked to realize just how much
space (not to mention headaches) that you
can save with the AC-12. With it's many features,
ease of use and attractive design, you might
expect to pay a lot for an AC-12, but you'll
find it remarkably affordable... probably
a lot less than a similar number of single couplers.
