Audioarts TS-1 • HS-1

PRO QUALITY TALENT AND HEADPHONE STATIONS

TS1 and HS1
Meet TS-1/HS-1

Audioarts HS-1 headphone and TS-1 talent stations are the go-to for quickly adding guest, news or producer positions to any professional studio.

Compact and made to broadcast quality standards, both provide clean amplification with ultra-high-performance ceiling for ruler-flat frequency response ((± ½ dB @ 50kHz) and 115 dB dynamic range through any microphone. Both take all headphone types, whether it’s a 16 ohm headphone with mini stereo jack or 600 ohm headphone with ¼ inch jack, and connect to any analog console through standard RJ45 for convenient switching between program, audition and on-air feeds.

OVERVIEW

TS-1, TALENT STATION

The Audioarts TS-1 talent station delivers clean amplification with a wide dynamic range and ruler flat frequency response. It is equipped with a high-gain headphone amplifier, 1/4” and mini stereo output jacks, two panel switches with internal LEDs, a power light, and a level control. The TS-1 features an internal HI/LO gain switch to accommodate a wide range of input types, logic on RJ45 connector for utilizing the two front panel switches for talkback and cough, and standard RJ45 analog audio pinouts for inputs/outputs. The output feed allows for daisy-chaining the unit’s source audio to other devices. The TS-1 comes with a separate power supply, and its wiring is managed through cutouts in the bottom of the unit.

 

HS1
HS-1, HEADPHONE STATION

The HS-1 is a powerful headphone amp in a mere 2-3/4″ by 3-3/4″ unit. Like the TS-1, it delivers clean amplification with a wide dynamic range and ruler flat frequency response. The front panel features a 1/4″ output phone jack, power LED, and rotary level control. An internal HI/LO gain switch allows it to match a wide range of input types. Rear connectors include dual RJ45 parallel inputs and a 9VDC power input that, like the TS-1, multiplies voltage and current to provide full sound to headphones of virtually any impedance. The unit comes with an input cable and a special 9VDC negative center pin power supply. The Audioarts HS-1 can be used as a free-standing unit or mounted underneath a counter with an optional bracket.
