The AES6800+ is a differential input, nine output, AES/EBU digital audio distribution amplifier (DA) for use in balanced and unbalanced installations within the 6800+™ modular core processing platform. It features cable equalization and data reclocking (sampling frequency of 32 and 192 kHz), making it ideal for AES distribution applications.
