Distribution Amplifiers

 

Signature ADA 2:6


1 In, 6 Out Stereo Distribution Amplifier

The Signature ADA 2:6 is a broadcast specification 6 way stereo analogue distribution amplifier, designed to distribute one or two audio channels to multiple destinations.

The ADA 2:6 has 1 x stereo input that is distributed to 6 x stereo outputs. A front panel toggle switch changes the operation of the unit to a mono distribution amplifier with 1 input and 12 outputs. The mono/stereo front panel toggle switch is recessed to prevent accidental operation and also provides the user with clear visual indication of the current mode.

 

  • 1 x stereo input to 6 x stereo outputs
  • 1 x mono input to 12 x mono outputs
  • Electronic I/O balancing
  • Inputs can accept balanced and unbalanced connections
  • Redundant power connection via PS1 Power Station
  • Front or rear mounting
  • Includes rack ears
  • Signature ADA 2:6G


    1 Input, 6 Output Stereo Distribution Amplifier With Gain

    The Signature ADA 2:6G is a broadcast specification 6 way stereo analogue distribution amplifier, designed to distribute one or two audio channels to multiple destinations.

    The ADA 2:6G has 1 x stereo input that is distributed to 6 x stereo outputs, each with its own gain control. A front panel toggle switch changes the operation of the unit to a mono distribution amplifier with 1 input and 12 outputs. The mono/ stereo front panel toggle switch is recessed to prevent accidental operation and also provides the user with clear visual indication of the current mode.

  • 1 x stereo input to 6 x stereo outputs
  • 1 x mono input to 12 x mono outputs
  • 12 x output gain adjusts
  • Electronic I/O balancing
  • Inputs can accept balanced and unbalanced connections

    Silence Detectors 

     

    Signature SD1+

    Silence Detector

    The Signature SD1+ is a silence detector used to switch audio to a backup source when the primary audio source falls below accepted silence thresholds in level or time. These are often used on a broadcast path to prevent dead air should a technical problem occur with the audio.

    The audio connections are stereo, on analogue XLRs. There is an input pair for the primary source, and an input pair for the backup source. The SD1+ can also be configured as a twin single channel silence detector. The backup source is usually coming from an audio player which can be remotely started by the SD1+ via a GPO should silence be detected.

    Each channel can have the configuration parameters set independently. The threshold at which the unit detects a low level is configurable, as is the amount of time that the audio needs to be under this level before an alarm condition is triggered and the audio is switched to the backup input.

  • Stereo or dual mono operation
  • Configurable threshold & time settings
  • GPIO loops for alarm outs or external switching
  • Smart fail & smart recovery modes
  • Bypass relays
  • Analogue audio I/O

    Headphone Amplifiers 

     

    Signature HA1M

    2 input Stereo Headphone Amplifier

    The Signature HA1M is a broadcast specification 2 channel headphone amplifier, designed to operate in a mono or a stereo mode.

    The HA1M has 2 x XLR inputs that can be used as either a stereo input, or as 2 x mono inputs. There is a selector switch to change between mono and stereo modes.

    In stereo mode, the left input goes to the left ear, and the right input goes to the right ear. Each input has its own level pot for adjusting the volume level in the left or right ear.

    In the mono mode, each input goes to both headphone outputs. The level pots adjust the relevant input levels in both ears.

    There are 2 x headphone outputs on jack sockets. One is 6.35mm and the other is 3.5mm. The headphone circuits can accept stereo connections, or mono connections from single earpieces. The headphone drivers are independent and so varying impedance connections can be used in either socket at the same time.

    The rear panel has a single XLR output that is a mix of both inputs.

    Power Supply

     

    Signature PS1


    Power Station Master Power Supply

    Power Supplies
    The Signature PS1 Power Station provides a fully resilient back up power supply to your Signature Series units. It contains two switch mode power supplies, each capable of powering up to three separate Signature Series units. A pair of bright front panel LEDs indicate that each power supply is on and active. The master AC power input accepts 100-240 VAC for worldwide compatibility.

    Master And Back Up Power
    As well as providing a backup DC supply for up to six Signature Series units, the PS1 can also act as master DC power distribution to six Signature units.

    Safety Features
    All outputs are individually fused so a short circuit on one will not affect any of the others.

    Installation
    For ease of installation and to allow quick connectivity to other Signature Series units, every Signature PS1is shipped with 6 x 4 pin XLR DC cables which are each two metres long.

    As the PS1 is only 336mm wide without the rack ears, it can easily be installed inside equipment racks, and fixed vertically via the flush mounting side wings. This will provides the convenience of power distribution or backup, without taking up any rack space.

     

  • Master power distribution to 6 Signature units
  • Provides individual +/- 12VDC outputs
  • Redundant power to 6 Signature units
  • Includes 6 x 4 pin XLR cables for powering Signature units

    AoIP44

    Dante Audio Network 4 Input, 4 Output Analogue Break Out Box

    The AoIP44 is an economical subrack designed to interface balanced analogue audio circuts to and from a Network audio system featuring Dante. It provides 4 audio inputs to the network and also 4 audio outputs from the network on balanced 3 pin XLRs.

    The AoIP can be used as a simple low cost audio I/O break out unit on a large Dante audio network where it can be integrated extremelly easily using the Dante controller and is fully compatible with any manufacturers Dante equipment. It can also be used in very simple audio over IP scenarious where just 4 bi-directional audio circuits are needed to be distributed across a buildings network infrastructure, in which case 2 x AoIP44 units can be used connected together across the network. The AoIP44 is equally suited for high integrity broadcast purposes, intercom, just simple paging facilities or simple distribution of non-critical audio.
