A Letter from our Vice President The most compelling audio content and programming originates with the human voice. pundits, perpetrators, experts, celebrities, newsmakers, victims, moderators, and listeners - they all have opinions. Many want to be heard. and listeners want to hear them. It’s for this reason that voice quality over the challenging and changing public switched Telephone network is an engineering passion for us. <strong>Telos</strong>’ founder, the late steve Church, introduced Digital signal processing to broadcasters for the first time with the revolutionary <strong>Telos</strong> 10 phone hybrid. since that invention, steve and our engineering/development teams have brought multi-line talkshow systems, IsDn capabilities, and even large-scale T1- and prI-based talkshow systems for multiple studios. now that Voice over Ip is becoming commonplace, broadcasters benefit again from a <strong>Telos</strong> innovation - the <strong>Telos</strong> Vx talkshow system. Vx connects directly to VoIp over sIp connections and uses livewire aoIp to bring those clear caller voices right into your audio console or production workflow. Vx’s Ip connectivity is allowing broadcasters to upgrade to “HD Voice” quality for on-the-spot reports and priority listener calls. Ip connections are quickly becoming the go-to standard for broadcast remotes, studio-transmitter links, and audio content distribution. Whether for main or backup service, permanent or short-term use, <strong>Telos</strong> codecs are built for professional use and jaw-dropping prefaCe | VII audio quality.
