The Atlona OmniStream™ 238 (AT-OMNI-238) receives audio streamed from OmniStream 512
encoders, and delivers up to 16 audio outputs, configurable as eight stereo pairs or sixteen
mono channels. It is part of the OmniStream R-Type Series, designed for high performance,
flexible distribution of AV over Gigabit Ethernet in residential and light commercial applications.

sixteen channels of PCM audio can be received by the OmniStream 238. An audio stream can be
routed to one or more unbalanced or balanced outputs, each with programmable gain control.
The OmniStream 238 is ideal for feeding audio from HDMI sources into a whole-house audio
