A selection of audio monitoring hardware devices designed for use in OB trucks and remote production, studio production, master control, and playout transmission. Depending on model, the monitors allow users to measure audio levels, check channel assignments, monitor and check either/both audio and video, and remote manage via IP.
PAM series
Precision Audio Monitor (PAM) series offers a number of confidence monitoring tools, supporting stereo, multi-channel, multi-language and surround-sound environments for use in applications including master control rooms, ingest and OB production. De-embedded audio is monitored through internal loudspeakers, headphones, or external stereo or 5.1 monitoring systems and levels may be displayed on OLED screens. The units support EBU and ATSC standards, SMTPE 2020 metadata monitoring, ITU BS177071 loudness measurement and histogram, user-configurable measurements through selectable bar-graph scales and GPIO and serial remote control.
Bar-graph scales include BBC PPM, EBU PPM, EBU Digital, Nordic, VU and DIN types. Each model has a single headphone socket mounted on the front panel, a 6.35mm, A-gauge jack, and a stereo, balanced-line output via two 3-pin, male, XLR connectors, with fixed or variable analogue multi-channel outputs for external stereo or 5.1 loudspeaker system integration.
The main difference between PAM1 and PAM2 models is the height, with PAM1 models housed in a 1U, 19-inch rackmount design, and PAM2 models housed in a 2U, 19-inch rack design. TSL suggest that for customers working with traditional infrastructures, PAM MK2 audio monitors provide the same interface and operational experience as the PAM-IP, including comprehensive loudness monitoring and Dolby Decoding capability.
Notes: (1) Counted in pairs, (2) Fixed and variable.
Expansion options: PAM1-IP-DOLBY-OPTION for PAM1-IP, PAM2-IP-DOLBY-OPTION for PAM2-IP, PAM-IP-DANTE-OPTION for PAM1-IP-3G/PAM2-IP-3G, PAM-IP-HBR6-10G-OPTION ST2022-6 option for SOLO-IP/PAM1-IP-3G/PAM2-IP-3G.

Power consumption: 60W typical. Dimensions (HxWxD): 44 x 483 x 280mm, PAM1 models; 88 x 483 x 320mm, PAM2 models. Weight: 3.1kg, PAM1 models; 5.1kg, PAM2 models.
SAM-Q series
TSL SAM-Q-SDI provides multiple levels of interaction and visualisation, catering for all levels of audio expertise, user preference and broadcast application, from the most demanding engineer to the operator who simply needs to listen to their chosen source. Supporting one AES3, one and two analogue sources, controllable via the front panel or Ethernet management and control port, monitored by ether the headphone, speaker or analogue output.
Equipped with two auto-sensing SD/HD/3G-SDI inputs and one re-clocked output, SAM-Q-SDI offers the ability to mix, monitor and measure 64x MADI audio sources alongside SDI embedded audio sources. Purchasing two optional MADI input licenses gives the user the ability to mix, monitor and measure 128 MADI audio sources.
Notes: (1) Counted in pairs, (2) Fixed and variable.
License options: SAM-Q-MADI-LIC for MADI input option, SAM-Q-LOUD-LIC for loudness monitoring option.
Ordering Notes: Both license options are delivered and installed remotely. They are also machine key/serial locked to a single SAM unit.
Dimensions (HxWxD): 45 x 483 x 100mm. Weight: 1.95kg.
Compatible with MPA1 SOLO IP, PAM1 IP 3G and PAM2 IP 3G precision monitoring units, these field upgradeable, single ST-2110 SFP module cover the full suite of 2110 monitoring including audio, video, and PTP; with option for additional NMOS or EMBER+ band control protocol support. There is a maximum of two ST-2110 modules per device, and multi-mode fibre connection required.
