The Glensound Talent Box is the next generation of single unit commentary systems. Digital in both control and internal audio circuits with extended positions.

TALENT BOX AES: This version features AES inputs and outputs.

Inputs
Three front panel inputs on XLR are mic/line switchable. Input B has an additional parallel input on a 3.5mm jack socket. There is an adjustable gain control and a phantom power switch to add 12v or 48v phantom power (this can be locked on/off in the configuration menu). The mic on/off button can also be configured as a cough button. The inputs have a configurable compressor/limiter. 

Outputs/Talkback
There are three direct outputs of the mic/line inputs. These are at adjustable level with optional limiter. There are two configurable master outputs, that are a mix of the three inputs. An un-balanced 3.5mm jack socket is available as a local record out. There are three common talkback outputs with Config+ push buttons, which are level adjustable to match an external talkback system. A digital line ident is provided and is controllable via a rear panel switch, which gives a looped message and 1.6kHz tone to the outputs.

Monitoring
With two fully featured commentators' positions A and C, the centre B position has no access to the talkback circuits (unless using external remote) and can choose to share monitoring with commentator A or B. The three headphone connections are via front panel 6.35mm jack sockets. There are five variable pots for external source level mixing, one pot for the commentators sidetone, and one for monitoring the other two inputs. Each of these inputs (ex sidetone) has soft headphone switching between left/both/right ears. Two of the external source pots can be linked to a single pot to provide a control for an incoming stereo signal – useful for the commentator to monitor dual channel international sound. Incoming talkbacks have LEDs that illuminate if audio is detected for operators to identify the talkback source.

CMBuss System Linking
This facilitates the linking of multiple Talent Boxes, allowing programme and talkback inputs and outputs to connect to a single unit, but be shared across all connected units. Multiple commentators can therefore be added to a single programme – 30 or more if required! All mixed programme outputs on every connected Talent Box will be a mix of every input from every box. Individual direct outputs are still available on each individual box. CMBus features link technology only available to Glensound which provides quick, trouble free linking in harsh outside broadcast environments. 

The Talent Box is the next generation of single unit commentary where multiple Talent Box’s can be linked to accommodate up to 30 commentators! CAT5 connections link the talkback, monitoring and programme output buses with multiple units by simply daisy chaining together if required. Glensound achieved this by developing the ‘Current Mixing System’ (CMBus) allowing the inputs on any individual system to be mixed into the common main programme, talkback and monitoring buses while maintaining low noise. Unlike traditional voltage mix techniques, the Glensound CMBus system is not susceptible to noise and interference that are prevalent in outside broadcast environments.

The talkback and monitoring inputs need only be connected to one unit in order for the CMBus to deliver their audio circuits to the relevant headphone feeds in all units. If duplicate monitoring inputs are connected on different boxes, the CMBus will mix them together enabling all commentators to monitor the source. A main programme output can be taken for any or all of the individual units. Direct outputs are not carried on the CMBus, although are available individually on each unit if required. 

Link Talent Boxes for up to 30 commentators on single programme and share monitoring and Talkback
The CMBus utilises three standard RJ45 cables for linking two boxes together which are broken down in such a way that allows sets of sources to be isolated on individual boxes. This make the Talent Box’s CMBus system a truly versatile solution for multiple commentator applications.

Great Product!!!
Color: 1PC-Beef-Red
This is the first toy my dog has not demolished. I need to buy more just like it just in case something happens to this one. It's worth every bit of the money I spent on it.

Yes, it will get destroyed. No, it isn't a waste of your money.
Style: Animal Sound, Size: Medium
Okay, I just wanted to say I've bought this item three times even tho my huge super chewer dogs inevitably destroy it, and here's why: It's NOT a chew toy! Pretty much *ANY* toy will not survive a strong chewer unless it is made from an indestructible material, and indestructible materials are often dangerous for doggy teeth. The noises this thing makes entices dogs to be extra violent on it. The trick is, you need to supervise them with the toy and if they move from chasing/bouncing it to "gnawing furiously" remove it and replace it with a safe treat toy to chew on (like a rawhide or antler, or a kong stuffed with frozen/difficult to remove treats) to satisfy their chewing needs on a safer item. This will extend the life of the toy. This way, the only damage it takes is from them mouthing/throwing it, which is what it is designed to withstand. This method is the only safe way to play with just about any play toy if you have SUPER chewers. There are many toys out there that will last longer, however, this one makes noise and that is super valuable to enrich your dogs' life. In essence, you're paying (insert current price of this item) to get several hours of SUPERVISED play time out of this toy over the course of several months. As far as noise makers go, this is only one of two toys I have found to hold up long enough to be worth the price. Go for it.

Such short fun!
Style: Animal Sound, Size: Medium, Style: Animal Sound, Size: Medium
So it lasted one evening. The concept is great and I expected this one to last much longer because of the tire cover. It stopped making noises about 3 hours after I opened it. Keep in mind they slept for 1 of those hours and went for a walk came back and played but ignored it because it stopped making noises. I've attached a photo. Keep in mind it arrived yesterday, gave it to the dogs at 6:30 pm. By 9:30 pm, it was done. I would expect this level of damage from a larger dog, but I have two mini Aussies. Only one of them would go near it. I also wouldn't care if the tire part got a little wear and tear but this is extremely short playtime. I also purchased the ball. It still works, so I may have gotten a defective one. Not sure. I'll return and try again. I posted a photo because the boy dog was totally into it. The plain ball that talks is a HUGE hit. It got lost but suddenly responded to their noises. It was so funny. I'll have to write a review for the plain ball.

X-TireBall Durability
Style: Jingle, Size: Medium
If you have a small dog or a dog that doesn't chew, this is a nice toy to play with. The labradoodle that received this ball loved it however, since he is a chewer, this product didn't last 10 minutes before it started to fall apart. The danger is that the dog can swallow the rubber and it will be an expensive trip to the vet. Summary: If your dog chews -DO NOT buy this product. If your dog does not chew - then it's a playful toy.. a cat will like to play with it as the bell is not too loud I was disappointed that the product said it was for dogs that chew but wasn't

Dog loves!
Style: Jingle, Size: Small
A neighbor found this in town for her dog, who didn't like the ball. She tossed it over the fence for our dog who absolutely loved the ball! The dog ran around the house trying to hide it & bury it, but would go retrieve it after a minute or two and repeat the process! Went to try to find a new one in town, but couldn't, so ordered it. Unfortunately, the ball is made out of hard plastic, which didn't hold up too well to a jack russell's terrior teeth. The ball would be perfect if made out of the "kong" rubber. We ended up using black electrician's tape until the ball totally fell apart...the dog was so sad -- looking all over for her ball, just had to get her another one.
