The RTS Telex EKP-32 is a dedicated expansion panel designed to significantly increase the user capacity of a compatible RTS ADAM (Advanced Digital Audio Matrix) or other key digital intercom systems. It provides a streamlined and cost-effective method for adding 32 additional user stations to an existing matrix backbone, enabling larger crew sizes and more complex communication networks for major broadcast productions, live events, and theatrical performances. The panel itself does not contain a full matrix but acts as a remote cluster of user ports, connecting via a single digital trunk cable to conserve valuable matrix ports and simplify cabling infrastructure in control rooms or mobile production trucks.

Constructed with the robustness required for professional broadcast environments, the EKP-32 features a compact 1U rack-mountable chassis and presents 32 standard RJ-45 ports on its rear panel, each capable of connecting a single two-channel intercom beltpack or a single-key panel. This centralized design dramatically reduces cable clutter compared to running individual lines from each user directly to the mainframe. Its operation is entirely dependent on the host matrix system, which handles all audio routing, powering, and control, making the expansion process seamless and transparent to the system operator while maintaining the full audio quality and feature set of the core intercom system.
