8 Audio Distribution Amplifier - RB-DDA6A
8 RB-DDA6A 6 Way Stereo AES/EBU Digital Distribution Amplifier
Introduction
Fig 8-1: RB-DDA6A Front Panel
The RB-DDA6A digital distribution amplifier is used for
distributing digital audio data in AES/EBU format, repeating
both the audio data and the status information of the input
whilst re-normalising to standard digital audio levels.
It has a single XLR-3 female AES/EBU audio input which is distributed to 6
XLR-3 male AES/EBU outputs.
Applications include distributing audio from a digital mixing desk to
multiple digital recorders, or feeding multiple studios with an output from
a DAT machine.
It can accept input sample rates in the range of 30kHz - 100kHz, and
bit rates of 16, 20 and 24 bit. So, it can be used for standard CD signal
distribution at 16 bit 44.1kHz, as well as for high quality 24 bit 96kHz
recording.
