The Key-Digital 8x8 Audio Matrix Switcher with Built-In Audio DSP is designed as an ideal matrix switcher for playing audio in a bar or restaurant. Featuring 8 balanced/unbalanced Phoenix inputs, 8 RCA SPDIF inputs, and corresponding outputs, the 8x8 unit is capable of sending an audio source to multiple independent or grouped audio zones, allowing the audience to listen to a single, clear audio source.
The switcher enables analog-to-digital or digital-to-analog conversion of signals, or can operate as two independent audio matrixes, one digital and one analog. Furthermore, any connected source may be selected on any output and variable signal processing levels can be applied for volume, bass, mid, treble, balance, and lip sync.
The system can be controlled using the Key Digital app or various other 3rd-party control systems (see Features section below).
