ISDN: An acronym for Integrated Services Digital Network. ISDN can deliver two simultaneous connections, in any combination of data (including 2 channels of real time digital audio), voice, video, and fax, over a single phone line. Multiple devices can be attached to the line, and used as needed. ISDN uses purely digital transmission, as opposed to the analog transmission of normal telephone service. With it, you can make connections throughout the world to other ISDN equipment, such as other studios equipped with ISDN in order to conduct a long-distance recording session. If your ISDN equipment includes analog capabilities, you can also connect to analog modems, fax machines, and telephones, even though they may be connected to regular telephone service.

Our Customers Say...

“I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!”
Michael Erin Woody, Brentwood, TN
