    General Information Introduction The Bridge 2001 Digital Audio Network Router rackmount unit occu- pies four 19” wide rack (total height 7”) with 16” depth. The 2001 is a unit that can take up to 512 discrete analog and digital audio inputs in Audio Engineering Society (AES) format, and switch them to any of 512 separate outputs.

  • Page 13: Power Supply

    Under no circumstances should the metal cover be removed! If you have a problem with the power supply, the unit must be returned to Wheatstone Corporation for repair. Once the supply is rackmounted, it should be connected to the 2001 using the factory supplied cable(s).
