To distribute the AES EBU signal (AES3) to several Crown I-Tech series amplifiers, our client purchased 6 SDA 1-8 Digital Audio Distributors in AR format, to be placed in a 19″ rack. In this way, with a single AES EBU audio signal, they can deliver an identical signal to up to 8 amplifiers with AES EBU input.

The SDA XLR I:1 O:8 is a 1 input to 8 output digital audio signal distributor in AES/EBU or AES3 format, with XLR inputs and outputs isolated by a transformer.
SDA
The SDA XLR offers 1 input to 8 AES/EBU signal distribution:
- Signal equalization (if required) compensates for losses that may occur with long cable runs.
- Transformer-isolated inputs/outputs provide high CMRR.
- Exact copy outputs of the input.
- Different formats: 1-4 outputs x 2, 3, 4, and 8 channels / 1-8 outputs x 1 channel.
- For LIVE SOUND: distribution of the digital audio signal from digital processors to amplification and output to speakers.
- For STUDIO: distribution of the signal from the digital audio console output to several digital signal recorders.
