DISCOUNTS

A recent review of our banking procedures allows us the opportunity to pass on some savings to you. If you choose to pay by BACS (ie directly from your bank to ours), not only will your order be processed faster, but you will get a discount too. Order any model of TDS and get an XLR2 audio lead for less than half price at £3.99, a 56% saving.
If your order already includes an audio lead, we will give you a straight £5 off your order total.

VAT

VAT was increased to 17.5% from Jan 1st 2010. Note that all our prices (other than a minor revision to the TDS1SR) remain the SAME as during 2009. This means our prices have actually FALLEN in real terms.

TDS1 Upgrades

In response to customer feedback, you can now change the Remote Start function to be a second indicator light (default setting). This allows the "In use" indicator to be extended to two different locations, such as the rear of the facility and also sound console. Useful to indicate function and status of the system to operators / speakers. New models use a Dialup 8 1/6/2009 issue circuit board. See the latest product handbook for more details.

In addition, many internal changes have been made to make production simpler. This allows us to maintain the current pricing structure for longer.

TDS1SR Upgrades

The TDS1SR shares all the same upgrades as the TDS1 but has more too. In Receive mode, the TDS1SR now has an amplified balanced output with volume control. This makes it much easier to match the output level to your sound system input. The output is transformer balanced and will drive long lines at very low impedance to minimise any interference issues. The use of a transformer eliminates any grounding or hum issues and means the output can connect equally well to balanced or unbalanced inputs. With no ground reference, the output is safe for use on phantom powered microphone inputs too.

A new link option which is also available via the facilities socket, allows the TDS1SR to be set to Receive mode on answer. In other words, when the TDS1SR is set to AUTOmatic, an incoming call will be answered and incoming audio relayed through to the sound system. Useful for remote announcements or forwarding signalling systems etc..
