The SMX Stereo Audio Matrix Switcher Boards are designed for routing balanced or unbalanced stereo audio signals.

The SMX Stereo Audio Matrix Switcher Boards are designed for routing balanced or unbalanced stereo audio signals. They are available in three I/O sizes: 8x4, 8x8, and 16x16.

Features

 

• Switches balanced or unbalanced stereo audio signals
• — Accepts both balanced and unbalanced stereo audio signals on captive screw connectors.

•  

• — Allows users to set the level of gain or attenuation for each audio input channel, eliminating noticeable differences in volume when switching between sources.

•  

• — Can be set dynamically for each channel through the SMX Frame front panel, IP Link or serial control ports, eliminating the need for an audio preamplifier in many system designs.

•  

• — Provides the capability to break an audio signal away from its corresponding video signal, allowing the audio channels to be operated as a separate matrix switcher.
