New! - OmniSnake Digital Audio Snake System:
The OmniSnake consists of a Stage Box that converts microphone/line-level analog inputs to a multiplexed digital signal, and a companion Base Unit that de-multiplexes to provide individual outputs. Digitizing the analog audio at the source eliminates the potential for ground loops, noise interference and crosstalk. Each Stage Box has 8 inputs, and two Stage Boxes can be linked together via coax to form a combined 16 channels, which is carried over coaxial cable to the Base Unit.
The Base Unit provides monitoring of each de-multiplexed audio level, plus gain switches to remotely control each of the microphone preamp gains. A single power supply provides power to all units via the coax cable, eliminating the need for external power on stage. Both analog and AES3 digital audio are available at the Base Unit for maximum flexibility. An AES3 reference input on the Base Unit locks the digital outputs to a common source. No more cumbersome multi-cable audio snakes. 16 channels of pristine digital audio, one 75-Ohm coaxial cable!!Ordering: 603-446-3700
