Appsys ProAudio ADAT Extender Bidirectional

The Appsys ProAudio ADX-16 is a bidirectional extender kit designed to overcome the typical 5-meter limitation of optical TOSLINK connections, such as ADAT Lightpipe and S/PDIF. It enables two TOSLINK connections"one in each direction"to be transmitted over a single Cat5 cable for distances up to 100 meters (330 feet), providing flexibility in audio distribution setups.

This extender kit facilitates reliable, lossless, and bit-transparent transmission with near-zero latency (<1µs), making it suitable for applications like creating an 8x8 digital snake with minimal latency, recording eight channels from a remote location with master clock transmission, and interconnecting ADAT-enabled equipment such as digital audio workstations and mixers.

• Extended ADAT Range: Extends the transmission distance of ADAT signals up to 100 meters using a standard Cat5/6 Ethernet cable.

• Bidirectional Audio Transfer: Supports simultaneous 8-channel input and output at 48kHz, or 4-channel at 96kHz.

• Compact and Versatile Design: Lightweight and portable, ideal for studio, stage, or live sound applications.

• Plug-and-Play Operation: Simple setup with no driver or additional power supply required for most setups.

• High-Quality Transmission: Maintains pristine digital audio integrity over extended distances.

• Flexible Connectivity: Works seamlessly with ADAT-compatible devices for reliable audio routing.

• Transmission Distance: Up to 100 meters (330 feet) over Cat5 cable.

• Supported Data Formats:

• ADAT Lightpipe: 8 channels at 48 kHz, 4 channels at 96 kHz, 2 channels at 192 kHz per direction.

• S/PDIF: Up to 2 channels at 96 kHz per direction.

• Other Formats: Compatible with Dolby Digital (AC-3), DTS, and all other formats capable of TOSLINK transmission.

• Latency: Less than 1 microsecond.

• Power Supply: 12V DC, 150mA; power to the remote unit is supplied via the Cat5 cable.

• Operating Temperature: 0C to 50C.

• Dimensions: 66.5 mm x 66.5 mm x 28 mm per unit.

• Weight: Approximately 60 grams per unit.
