NBB-1616 Networked Break-in/Break-out Box

 

NBB-1616e Expansion Box

Overview:

The NBB-1616 is a fully digitized 16 x 16 Break-in/Break-out box which bidirectionally streams multi-
channel audio throughout off-the-shelf Ethernet cables and switches. The NBB-1616 is designed to be
operated friendly and installed easily as well as system scalable and upgradable. The front panel features 16
clip-hold PPM meters for all the input or output channels. You have control over the audio volume and phase
as well as the phantom power engagement individually for all the input channels locally on the front panel.

Features:

16 x 16 fully digitized Break-in/Break-out box
Dante-enabled networked breakbox or stagebox
Streaming audio in robust standard Ethernet cable (a.k.a., Digital Snake)
Supports Layer 3 of IEEE 802.3 Ethernet standard, which means
Streaming through Layer-3 Ethernet switch is feasible
Easily organize network topology with regular Ethernet switches
Redundant networking mode for fault tolerant audio distribution, or
Daisy-chain networking mode for easy coverage extending
Audio routing can be set by Dante-enabled audio console, or
Dedicated Dante Controller software for Windows and Mac OS
24-bit PCM coding with sample rate up to 192KHz
PPM meter with clip hold for input/output level monitoring
Option to double channel capacity with a NBB-1616e expansion box
Support of the latest feature of DDM with router involved
AES3 Digital I/O expansion box available on request
