AES/EBU Splitter Panel, 2 channel 1-in 4-out, 1 RU

    The ETS SDS886 is a 2-Channel "(1) IN - (4) OUT" Digital Audio Splitter Panel. This rack-mounted product has been designed and manufactured expressly for the digital audio market.

Note: this device is intended only for balanced 110Ohm signals.

    The passive [and thus highly reliable] unit accommodates signal levels up to 10V. In addition, the versatile SDS886 maintains proper impedance so the remarkably innovative digital audio splitter need not be symmetrically applied.

    In many applications, the SDS886 completely eliminates the need for a distribution amplifier, not only significantly lowering costs, but reducing overall system complexity, as well.
