98. Audio Crossbar 16x16 - Model KSA0480
This crossbar distributes 16 audio signals to 16 receivers in the frequency range
20 Hz…25 kHz without any blocking.
One of the inputs will be used as a microphone input.
Three outputs will be used to feed a loudspeaker (located at the front panel) and a headset.
Design
The unit is housed in a 3 U 19" subrack with very
good RF shielding and consists of the following
sub-assemblies:
- audio switching boards
- I/O boards
- RS-232 interface
All the necessary signal, power supply and earthing connections are provided at the rear.
The mains switch is located on the front panel.
Control
The crossbar is normally controlled via a RS-232 inter-face. Other control interfaces like RS-232, RS-422,
RS-485, and IEEE488 are possible.
Special features
The I/O boards are monitored in a processor routine.
A status string can also be requested at any time via the control interface.
