The S-8 and S-16 switches operate autonomously with no external PC required other than for initial setup and source naming. Once configured, the PC can be disconnected and the system runs standalone.
Installation is simple and quick (just CAT-5 cables interconnect I/O & Mix Engine cages), making expansion easy. The switch is capable of 44.1 kHz, 48 kHz or external sync operation. An Ethernet link handles administrative tasks, and a CLOCK port allows synchronization to an external master clock.
The S-8 is a 512 x 512 audio router core, whereas the S-16 is 1024 x 1024 audio router core.
The units can also be configured in a dual-redundant configuration with redundant links between the cores and the I/O & Mix Engine cages.
We make 16, 24, 32, 40, and 48-port versions. Each port has capacity of 64 x 64 channels plus logic.
