Not every application calls for our full-sized, 4RU Gibraltar Network Cage. Sometimes you've got a location where all that's needed is access for a few I/O channels. That's where the SR-8 comes in. Equipped with 8 XLR mic-line inputs with selectable phantom power and four XLR outputs, all front-panel accessible, the SR-8 connects via Cat 5 cabling back to a Gibraltar Network cage or switch.
In addition, the SR-8 is stackable. Up to four SR-8 units can share a link back to the switch, making installation of up to 32 mic/line inputs and 16 outputs (or returns) using a single Cat 5 link to the network switch.
On the front panel are meters for all eight inputs, with phantom power status indicators. The four outputs are also individually metered. Front panel network link status indicators are also provided.
The SR-8 provides 12 universal logic ports for use in controlling or sensing external equipment. These could be used, for example, for tally light control. It is equipped with its own internal redundant power supply with dual mains inputs.
