ClearOne announced the new TouchLinX TLA250 IP-Based Control Pad & Stereo Amplifier for the DigiLinX system features a 2×50 watt amplifier, built-in microphone, and built-in Internet radio. Each TLA250 is capable of supporting 2 Channels at 50 watts per channel at 4 ohms and contains the hardware and software required to take TCP/IP audio packets, convert them back to audio and amplify the signal for each zone. By decentralizing the amplifier, the TLA250 can be placed closer to the loudspeaker, minimizing signal loss normally caused by long cable runs between the amplifier and speakers; thus creating better sound from smaller amplifiers. The built-in microphone allows any zone to become part of the DigiLinX IP Intercom system for monitoring, paging, or two-way intercom sessions. Also built into the TLA250 is a 4-band graphic equalizer and an OLED display capable of displaying white text on a black background.
