DTMF-16
Sixteen outputs, any tone or sequence.
A fully programmable touch-tone decoder for satellite receivers, network switching, repeaters and anywhere local control isn't practical. Bridge it across an audio line and its outputs fire on the tones or sequences you choose.

More about the DTMF-16
What people use it for: decoding automation tones from radio networks off a satellite receiver into their automation, backup transmitter control over an STL, radio or telephone coupler, radio control of camera pan and tilt heads, appliance and computer control over a phone or radio link, and firing players and recorders in the studio.
With the Silencer option, the DTMF-16 takes your satellite audio and feeds program to your console with the control tones muted. If your programming regularly carries touch-tones, we can shift your control tones so normal tones pass through untouched.
