Purpose. 

The main purpose of the EA915X is to be used as an interface to make a connection between a telephone 
line and a mixing console, with the highest possible quality and reliability. To obtain this purpose, the 
EA915X uses a Digital Signal Processor which reduces the crosstalk, normally existing in a hybrid 
circuitry, to a minimum.  

Realisation. 

To realise this purpose, a design has been set up with a by 

TELEFICATION

 successfully tested and 

approved hybrid circuitry from the EA815/1 (analogue hybrid) and attached to it a 16-bit 

D

igital 

S

ignal 

P

rocessor of Analog Devices and a 16-bit Codec of Crystal together forming the heart of 

the digital echo canceller. FLASH technology is used for permanent storage of the settings for the 
echo canceller. A microprocessor takes care of the internal and external control. 

Installation. 

Check the equipment for any transport damage after unpacking. 
Before installation and taking the unit into service, please read this manual. 
Make sure the unit will be installed in any equipment bay with sufficient unobstructed air 
circulation so that the maximum air temperature in the equipment environment will not be 
exceeded. 
Before mounting the EA915X into a 19" rack, the user should make some settings which are 
dependent on the use of the unit and its infrastructure. These settings can be done over 4 
DIL switches which are reachable on the rear of the unit. Make sure the power is not connected (yet) when 
adjusting the switches.

With this dilswitch the behaviour of the RING-output (Opto-isolator) is set. In the ON-position this 
RING-output can be used as indication of an incoming call. 
In the OFF-position the output can be used for signalling of an incoming call as well as indication 
of the ON/OFF status of the hybrid. This RING-output can be found on the 9 pin D-type connector 
marked IN/OUT/REMOTE.
