Overview
Features and Capabilities
The Digital Feedback Terminator has 4 minutes of available audio memory and can record up to 16 paging
messages. A single page can have a maximum length of 1 minute. The unit can record new pages while
playing back previously recorded pages.
The DFT120 eliminates feedback over the paging system by opening the loop between the input microphone
and the speakers. This not only eliminates the potential for acoustic feedback, but also gives the user
flexibility in the manner in which pages are broadcast.
Multiple Record and Playback options are supported, as well as Pre-Page Tones, Message Repeat, and
Adjustable Delay Between Message Repeats functions. Abort and Stop functions are also available.
The DFT120 includes a transformer-isolated 600-ohm page input and priority override input, as well as a
transformer-isolated switchable 8-ohm or 600-ohm audio output.
