APM6801+D

Audio Processing Module

For expanded audio processing, the APM6801+D module for the 6800+™ core processing platform provides eight AES unbalanced inputs and outputs. Taking two positions in a 6800+ mounting frame, it provides gain control, invert, routing and delay for each individual channel.

Optional field upgrades include Dolby® decoder and encoder plug-ins with software keys.

Features

  • Eight AES I/O with input/output routing and sample rate conversion with bypass
  • Up to 2.5 seconds delay
  • Gain, invert and routing (channel swapping)
  • Breakout cable provides discrete AES connectivity
  • For embedded applications, add companion SFS/HMX/HDX modules
  • External Reference can be color black or tri-level sync
  • DARS input
