The RDL D-TPS2A is an active, transformer-isolated audio distribution and sending unit designed to transmit two independent channels of balanced, low-impedance audio over a single shielded twisted pair (STP) cable. This device is engineered for professional fixed-installation audio systems where efficient signal management and cable reduction are priorities, such as in conference centers, performing arts venues, broadcast facilities, and corporate AV systems. By combining two discrete audio signals onto one cable, the D-TPS2A significantly simplifies wiring infrastructure, reduces installation costs, and minimizes potential points of failure compared to running multiple individual audio lines.

The unit operates as an active sender, meaning it conditions the audio signals with gain control and provides the necessary drive to send them over extended cable runs without significant loss or noise pickup. Each of its two input channels typically features level adjustment controls and balanced XLR or terminal block connections. The transformer isolation on both the inputs and the combined output is a critical feature, as it eliminates ground loops and blocks common-mode noise, ensuring pristine audio quality is maintained from source to destination. At the receiving end, a complementary unit, such as the D-TPR2A, is required to separate the two channels and deliver them to their final destinations.
