Vox Royalty Corp. (TSXV: VOX) ('Vox' or the 'Company'), a high growth precious metals focused royalty company, is pleased to announce that it has executed a binding agreement with Horizon Minerals. The Vox Theatre is a historic and urban event space in Kansas City. The venue is flexible and affordable for weddings, corporate and special events. The space can host small gatherings & large events, from networking happy hours to galas.
In telecommunications, a voice operated switch, also known as VOX or voice-operated exchange, is a switch that operates when sound over a certain threshold is detected.[1] It is usually used to turn on a transmitter or recorder when someone speaks and turn it off when they stop speaking. It is used instead of a push-to-talk button on transmitters or to save storage space on recording devices. On cell phones, it is used to save battery life. Intercom systems that use a speaker in a room as both a speaker and a microphone will often use VOX on the main console to switch the audio direction during a conversation. The circuit usually includes a delay between the sound stopping and switching direction, to avoid the circuit turning off during short pauses in speech.
A special case exists, if there is enough energy to power the system directly. For example, a microphone may send a voltage, high enough, to directly operate a transmitter. [2]
Comparison with push-to-talk[edit]
- In terms of sound, the vox was mellower, maybe more vintage sounding, while the crybaby seems to have more highs and a stronger effect. I can't recall the model number of the vox (it was one of the cheaper models), but I could not for the life of me engage the pedal with my foot, and I tried several different ones.
- Vox amps share a lot with Fender but have a reputation for even more shiny clean tones with very treble-intensive sounds. The most famous Vox amp is the AC-30, which for a while in the '60s came with a 'top boost' channel that pushed the high-end content of the tone even further. The Beatles famously used Vox AC-series amps early in their careers.
- Vox is a general interest news site for the 21st century. Its mission is simple: Explain the news. Politics, public policy, world affairs, pop culture, science, business, food, sports,.
Unlike manual push-to-talk (PTT) operation, VOX isautomatic; the user can keep his or her hands free while talking. But VOX also has some significant disadvantages that explain why PTT is still common.
Most VOX circuits have a sensitivity adjustment, but unwanted (and sometimes undetected) VOX triggering can still occur on background noise, heavy breathing or a side conversation. Conversely, it may not activate when desired on speech that is too weak.
The VOX in a two-way radio can also be triggered by the loudspeaker carrying the other side of the conversation. This problem can beminimized with an 'anti vox' feature to decrease VOX sensitivity when the receiver is active.
Transmitters and recorders have short but finite activation times thatmay clip the beginnings of phrases. Some modern VOX circuits eliminate this problem by recording or transmitting a delayed version of the input signal. An older way of overcoming this, used by pilots, and astronauts, as some of the first users of VOX, was to habitually preface every transmission with 'uh' in place of keying the microphone.
VOX uses a 'hang' timer, typically 1-3 seconds, to remain engaged during brief speech pauses. This means the last several seconds of each transmission or recorded segment are always silence. A VOX-activated recorder can delete the end of each segment but the user of a VOX-activated half duplex radio must wait for the timer to expire before he or she can receive again.
