Telex RTS KP-12PB W/RC Compact 12-Position Key Panel

$199.95

The KP-12PB key panel is a core component in a digital matrix intercom system (such as the RTS ADAM, ADAM-CS, Cronus, or Zeus series). Its compact, rugged design makes it suitable for applications where space is limited, such as in mobile production trucks or control rooms. The panel is fully programmable via user-friendly pull-down menus selected through a front-panel shaft encoder, which allows for versatile assignment of functions including point-to-point communication, IFB (Interruptible Foldback), ISO (Isolation), PL (Party Line), and relay/GPI triggers. The "W/RC" (With Rear Connector) variant includes additional connection options on the back panel for enhanced integration into larger systems, such as GPI (General Purpose Interface) functionality. The panel comes with a built-in speaker and connections for a headset and an optional gooseneck microphone, providing multiple user interface options.

About the Telex RTS KP-12PB W/RC Compact 12-Position Key Panel

The Telex RTS KP-12PB w/RC is a compact 12-position key panel designed for the RTS ADAM (Advanced Digital Audio Matrix) and other compatible digital intercom systems. This model includes a Remote Control (RC) interface, enhancing its functionality for integration into custom control surfaces or for use at a distance from the main intercom matrix. The panel provides a centralized, hard-wired interface for system administrators, stage managers, or technical directors to communicate with and monitor multiple intercom channels. It features 12 programmable keys, each with a backlit LCD display that shows the assigned party name (e.g., "Director," "Camera 2," "Audio"), and status LEDs for call, busy, and on-air indications. This allows an operator to have instant access and visual status for numerous intercom lines, facilitating complex communication workflows in broadcast, live production, and large-scale event environments.

A key feature of this panel is its programmability and the included remote control capability. Each key can be assigned to any party or group within the intercom matrix via system configuration software, offering immense flexibility to adapt to different production needs. The "w/RC" designation indicates it supports remote control signals, allowing the panel's functions to be triggered or monitored by an external control system, such as a Crestron or AMX room automation system, or by connecting additional button panels. The unit operates in full-duplex mode, enabling natural, hands-free conversation through its built-in electret microphone and speaker, with a headset jack for private listening. It is designed for 1U rack mounting, integrating neatly into technical consoles or equipment racks.

Built for reliability in mission-critical communications, the KP-12PB w/RC is constructed with durable components for continuous use. Its integration into a digital matrix system provides the scalability and flexibility needed for large productions. By consolidating control of multiple intercom channels into a single, intuitive hardware interface with remote control potential, this key panel enhances operational efficiency and ensures clear, reliable coordination among all members of a production team from a central or distributed control point.
