Mixed I/O signal frames allow 32 AES pair and 64 mono analog signals, as banks of 64 audio channels in various input/output combinations, to be routed simultaneously through a single 1RU frame. Balanced I/O connections are provided for both analog and AES digital audio signals. Mixed frames are available with two connector style choices – ELCO block style connectors or 6-pin pluggable style connectors. Available signal format combinations are shown in the following table. The entire 128 audio channel capacity of the frame is filled with the combination of input and output signals. Each frame provides two power supply module slots. One power supply is required for frame operation; a second power supply may be added for power redundancy.
PESA’s mixed connector signal frames offer an additional layer of flexibility to our mixed I/O frames by allowing not only combinations of 32 AES pair and 64 analog signals in the same frame; but they also provide a choice of connector type for each signal format, or allow a mix of both balanced and unbalanced connection points for AES digital signals. Each balanced input for an AES pair offers your choice of AC or DC signal coupling. All analog inputs are balanced. Mixed connector frames are available with two combinations of connector style - ELCO block style connectors for balanced analog or AES and BNC connectors for unbalanced AES; or 6-Pin pluggable connectors for balanced signals and BNC connectors for unbalanced AES.
