Dear User Dear User: At Telex Communications, Inc. we strive to lead the globe with our RTS® Intercom Systems by providing complete communication solutions that connect people when it matters most. For the last 30+ years, RTS® has been the leading pioneer in intercom communications. We have made unprecedented advances in the industry beginning with the CS-9000, then with our Digital Matrix and Emmy Award-winning Two-Wire systems, and continuing with the ADAM and Cronus®.
History of RTS® Mission Statement It is our goal to be the recognized global leader in delivering comprehensive communications systems and solutions to entertainment and industry. In the early days of television production, intercommunication among the crew was accomplished using carbon microphone conference line intercom systems. These systems used telephone company-type equipment and telephone company technology.
In 1989 Telex Communications, Inc. bought RTS® Systems and a new growth period began. This growth included improvements in manufacturing efficiency, a strengthened sales organization, and an advance in manufacturing technology (surface-mount circuitry, plastics molding and tooling resources).
Worldwide Connectivity RTS® is in the business of connecting people all over the world. Whether it is across the hall or across an ocean, RTS® provides the bridge in between to get your message heard clearly and reliably.

Intercom Matrices The RTS® family of digital intercom matrices is the most extensive, most widely used, and most “obsolescence-proof” line of intercoms in the world today. From the “top-of-the-line” ADAM matrix, available in sizes from 8 to 1,000+ users, to the original Zeus™ 24-port matrix, RTS® matrices are the standard for reliable, missioncritical communications in broadcast, military, industrial and entertainment applications.
Cronus® DSP Matrix Intercom Height Width Depth Weight Color (Frame+2PSU’s) 3½” (8.89 cm) 19” (48.26 cm) 13¼” (33.66 cm) 14.15 lbs (6.41 kg) Grey RTS® Cronus® intercom is a modular, 32-port digital matrix intercom in 2RU (rack units) that can hold up to four AIO analog or RVON-C VoIP cards with eight ports each. Based upon an advanced DSP architecture, Cronus® intercom has the ability to link up to four units into a single 128-port matrix.
Interface Cards The RTS® interface cards are the core of the modular digital matrix intercom concept. An array of features and connectivity options means you can customize your ADAM matrix to integrate seamlessly into your communications network. Each new generation provides expanded possibilities for your existing ADAM frame, solidifying its investment value for years to come.
TBX-Tribus Triple-Bus Expander Card Kit for ADAM A single TBX-Tribus fiber card can link up to four ADAM frames together and allow them to appear as one matrix system. This makes it possible to increase the number of available users on a system by transparently integrating additional frames. The ADAM frame must be equipped with a MCII-e master controller card, allowing the TBX-Tribus to link together multiple frames, allowing users to quickly connect multiple ADAM intercom systems.
VoIP Devices RVON-16 The RTS® RVON (RTS® Voice Over Network) series allows the full integration of our intercom system into your existing data network. It also allows you to create an independent network for your RVON equipment. Our devices are fully IP-compliant with current VoIP standards. All RTS® RVON series devices can be monitored via SNMP. The RVON product family supports ancillary data control for use with RTS® Intelligent Trunking.
RVON-1 VoIP Interface for KP-32 Classic Installed directly into KP-32 Classic, the RVON-1 provides Voice over IP (Internet Protocol) communications for the RTS® intercom family. The RVON-1 delivers an integrated solution for connecting keypanels to the intercom matrix over standard IP networks. The RVON-1 is not compatible with KP 32 CLD series keypanels.
Software RTS® Software enables complete control over your intercom system from any standard Windows computer. Configure keypanels settings, assign user rights, even link matrices together that are thousands of miles away.
