Page 11: Avn-Tb6 & Avn-Tb6D 6 Button Talkback Intercom
The AVN-TB6 and AVN-TB6D are 6 channel talkback intercom control units from the Sonifex range of IP based AVN (Audio/Video/Network) products. The AVN-TB6 is a freestanding version, which can be converted into a 1U rackmount using the AVN-TB6RK rack-kit. The AVN-TB6D is a desktop version that can be fitted flush into a work surface if required. - Page 12 The AVN range use RAVENNA as the communication method providing compatibility with other AES67 systems. Each of the 6 channels on the AVN-TB6 and AVN-TB6D can be configured to provide communications with other remote networked intercom units or AoIP streams, and an independently configurable page function can contact selected units with priority over standard intercom calls if required.
