Sonifex 8-Channel Silence Switcher Unit (1 RU)

The 1 RU 8-Channel Silence Switcher Unit from Sonifex is a rack-mountable unit with stereo audio channels that can be either analog or digital and can be used independently to give four stereo silence detectors or they can be linked to handle multichannel audio inputs, e.g. for 5.1 and 7.1 surround systems. The 2 x 8-channel audio inputs can accept both digital and analog connections, with the unit automatically recognising a digital input. For the 8-channel outputs, by setting the appropriate DIP switches, each stereo output can be designated as either an analog pair or as a digital output, thus making the RB-DSD8 incredibly flexible and suitable for many different applications. The unit level settings are in dBFS, but when using analog signals the equivalent full scale value can be set to +24, +18, or +12 dBu by DIP Switches.
