The 8912RDA brings balanced digital audio
distribution to the 8900 family of products.
This module complements the 8911 AES
reclocking DA by offering terminal-screw
connectors for those facilities requiring
balanced I/O. With built-in impedance
conversion, you can select either 75Ω or
110Ω inputs. In addition, we've added a
powerful remote monitoring capability to
enable you to keep track of all your conversion
and distribution assets using our NetCentral
SNMP-based remote monitoring software.
