Features

Audio - per 2 channels

  • Two independent, software configurable audio inputs and outputs
  • Balanced and Unbalanced connection support for increased noise immunity and flexible equipment interfacing
  • Selectable Input/Output gain, mic/line input impedance, and mic power supports wide range of commercial and military mics and audio peripherals
  • Robust output supports low and high impedance commercial and military headsets, speakers and other audio peripherals
  • > 90dBv isolation (crosstalk) between channels
  • < 0.7% THD + noise
  • 20Hz–20kHz frequency response

I/O - per 2 channels

  • Three digital inputs provided with each audio channel for direct PTT connection, or other digital input application to reduce delays and voice cutoff
  • One opto-isolated digital output supplied with each audio channel for live radio keying or activity indication
  • Two serial ports for interfacing to ASTi HHTs, Sincgars radio panels, and other serial based devices live and simulated

Distribution

  • Convenient remote installation close to operator headsets and equipment
  • Two USB connections for additional equipment connection and distribution
  • Digital audio and I/O distribution reduces noise and cross-talk susceptibility
  • Auto-recognition by the Telestra MBV environment

Packaging

  • Small, self-contained package provides flexible mounting options for both desktop and rackmount applications
