Description:
The AS275 Digital Audio Passive Splitter conveniently splits a single source into two signals for distribution with minimal loss. Since it is a passive device, there is no requirement for power, therefore enabling easy and convenient deployment of the splitter within any facility.
Firstly, the AS275 Digital Audio Passive Splitter has been designed with reliability for critical applications in mind. Consequently, this Splitter is fault tolerant due to the high isolation between the outputs. As a result, the high isolation allows an open-circuit, short-circuit or incorrect termination on one output to have almost no effect on the quality of the remaining output.
Secondly, the design of the complex transformer arrangement minimises output and insertion losses. As a result, it will outperform a simple resistor splitter and provides a wideband performance allowing a ‘one splitter fits all’ solution.
The AS275 Digital Audio Passive Splitter will supports all of the AES3i and MADI transmission rates between 2Mb/s and 300Mb/s. Therefore it is compatible with all digital audio formats and offers a cost effective alternative to powered distribution amplifiers. The AS275 is available in a in-line or compact 19″ 1RU rack mounting unit.
