DS-TPSL2A

RDL DS-TPSL2A – Active Two-Pair Audio Sender Format-A with XLR Mic & RCA Inputs

The RDL DS-TPSL2A is an active audio sending module designed for professional AV installations, compatible with RDL’s Format-A twisted pair system. It features a balanced XLR microphone input with phantom power and two unbalanced RCA line-level inputs summed to mono. The mic signal is routed to pair A, and the summed line-level signal is routed to pair B.

Studio-quality preamplifiers ensure optimal audio performance. A rear-panel gain switch allows installers to select normal or high mic gain, accommodating various microphone types and usage scenarios. Power can be supplied locally via a terminal block or remotely through the twisted pair cable. An auto-resetting fuse protects against overloads, and a front-panel LED indicates power status.

The DS-TPSL2A uses two Format-A pairs and supports daisy-chaining with single-pair senders assigned to pair C. Its Decora®-style panel allows for wall box mounting, making it ideal for conference, education, and commercial AV environments.
