Description
The MAI-625 Master Audio Interface is a Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) device for DXL
intercom systems and is used to facilitate the integration of a variety of intercom master station
components into a console or control panel.
The MAI-625 provides three separate RJ-25 connectors in support of an SMK-126/136 Panel
Mount Handsfree Speaker/Microphone Kit, an HHK-136 Handset/Hookswitch Kit, and an
HSK-136 Headset Kit. These kits provide handsfree audio, a privacy handset, or a headset
interface, and can be installed in any combination desired. Please refer to their individual
datasheets for further information.
The MAI-625 also includes a line-level input and output to facilitate making audio connections
to an existing system. The line level output can also connect to an amplifier for driving
external powered speakers. A status input, and a DPDT control relay are also available. These
signals are provided on terminal blocks with the line-level output (also) brought out to a 3.5
mm stereo audio jack.
A combination of these audio devices can be used. If more than one audio/input device is connected to the MAI
the hookswitch and headset switch will determine which speaker receives audio and which microphone is active.
If the hookswitch is off hook the speaker audio is connected to the handset speaker and handset microphone
audio is connected to the microphone audio lines. If the hookswitch is on hook the speaker audio is connected to
either the headset or handsfree speaker depending on the state of the headset switch. If the headset switch is
closed (corresponding to having a headset jack plugged in) the headset microphone is active and the speaker
audio is connected to the headset. If the hookswitch is on hook and the headset switch is open then handsfree
operation is possible. Figure 1 describes the operation of the hookswitch and headset switch.
