Delivering broadcast-quality communications between studios, offices, or different parts of a facility, the AVN-TB6 from Sonifex is a six-button, six-channel talkback intercom control unit using RAVENNA and AES67 powered AoIP communications for efficient transport and wide compatibility. Each of the six channels can be configured to provide communications with remote networked units, and a configurable page function can access selected units with priority over standard intercom calls.

Using the monitor channel, you can route audio from an AoIP source to headphones or speakers, such as IFB feeds or off-air transmissions, and a user configurable GPIO system with 10 physical and 10 virtual ports can be used to control local or networked units and drive outputs as selected states change. An easy-to-use built-in webserver delivers setup and control capabilities and an Ember+ interface gives access to the same configuration options as well as providing remote control and monitoring duties of the GPIO ports.

The AVN-TB6 features plenty of I/O to facilitate high-quality communications between studios, offices, and different areas of a facility or building complex. Using RAVENNA and AES67 protocols, this unit sports wide compatibility and can be expanded with simple Cat 5 cabling.

• XLR 3-pin microphone input with selectable +48V phantom power
• 1/4" TRS stereo headphone output with wide support for impedances between 32 and 600 ohms
• XLR 5-pin headset connector for two-way communication 
• 15-way D-type connector for GPIO functions: 10 physical ports and 10 virtual ports
• Dual 1 gigabit RJ45 ethernet networking ports and a 1 gigabit SFP port 
• Dual AC and DC power supply inputs

This intercom control unit can be configured using the simple yet responsive Ethernet webserver program. The webserver resizes, depending on the size of your screen, meaning that it can be used on large monitors or small handheld devices such as smartphones. Help information is shown on the right hand side of the screen so it's a good place to go to find out how the unit operates.

The AVN-TB6 is designed for easy rack-mounting through the optional AVN-TB6RK 1 RU Rack Kit. Simply attach the rack ears and screw the unit in with four standard rackmount screws for convenient, 1 RU placement on any standard rack system.

Q: 10. What is the difference between this box and the THS3? They look the same except the knobs are labeled different.

A: The difference between the Whirlwind THS 3 Talkback Headphone Box and Sports Announcer Console with Left/Right Headphone Volume Controls and the Whirlwind THS 4 Talkback Headphone Box and Sports Announcer Console with Individual Input Volume Controls is the way the signal is routed and how the rotary controls affect the signal. On the THS 3, the left volume control is used to adjust the volume of the left earpiece and the right volume control is used to adjust the volume of the right earpiece. The controls on the THS 4 are used to adjust the input volume levels for input 1 and input 2 before the signal feeds to the input assignment switches. The controls on the THS 3 affect the volume level after the signal passes through the input assignment switches. The input assignment switches for both the THS 3 and THS 4 allow you to configure the routing for the two channels and select whether the audio signal is sent to the left earpiece, right earpiece, or to both earpieces.
