AC-AEX-RC-HUB
Audio Centralizer with Stereo Matrixing
The AC-AEX-RC-HUB is a 12 I/O 1U rack-mountable audio recall centralizer with stereo matrix switching.
Designed to receive extended audio over Category Cable, TOSLINK digital audio, and line-level analog stereo
signals from up to 12 source devices, the AC-AEX-RC-HUB provides remote audio source signals to a centrally
located audio distribution system, such as an audio matrix or multi-zone amplifier, with a maximum distance of
up to 130 meters (426 feet).
AC-AEX-T
(sold separately)
The AVPro Edge AC-AEX-T is a digital/analog audio transmitter that extends stereo signals over a Category
cable via AVPro Edge's exclusive AEX technology. The AC-AEX-T is powered remotely via PoC (Power over
Cable) when connected to the AC-AEX-RC-HUB or AC-AEX-R and is ideal for sending audio from a source
device (such as a display, record player, or local auxiliary input) located in a separate zone back to a centrally
located audio distribution system.
NOTE:
Each A-LINK port on the AC-AEX-RC-HUB must be paired with an AC-AEX-T audio transmitter for complete operation.
