Product Overview
Extend the reach of your ADAT optical TOSLINK® transmission with the Appsys ADX-16 bidirectional extender kit. The ADX-16 supports two connections (one in each direction) over a single standard Cat5 cable at a distance of up to 100m/330ft. The extender can serve as an 8x8 ultra-low latency digital snake, and it transmits master clock to all units, making it ideal for audio distribution within a building. The ADX-16 is compatible with all data formats transmitted over TOSLINK, such as ADAT, SPDIF, AC-3/Dolby Digital, DTS, and more.
Appsys ProAudio ADX-16 Includes:
- Converter Box ADX-16-S (1xTOSLINK In + 1xTOSLINK Out to Cat5 with power supply)
- Converter Box ADX-16-R (1xTOSLINK In + 1xTOSLINK Out to Cat5)
- AC adapter in "green" switching technology
- Printed manual
Appsys ProAudio ADX-16 Features:
- Economic digital 8x8 snake with lowest latency
- Recording of 8 channels from a remote location, with master clock transmitted to the remote unit
- Interconnection of ADAT enabled equipment (e.g. DAWs and digital mixers)
- If analog conversion is needed at one or both ends, we recommend using 8-channel ADC/DACs (e.g. Behringer ADA8000 or Focusrite Octopre mkII Dynamics) on the respective end(s)
- Bidirectional transmission over up to 100m/330ft. using a single Cat5 cable
