AudiaEXPO-D
Digital Output Expander
AudiaEXPO-D is a digital output expander for Audia®, the benchmark in digital audio systems for
demanding professional sound installations. AudiaEXPO-D accepts eight digital audio input signals via
CobraNet® and provides eight channels of digital audio output. AudiaEXPO-D can simply add outputs
to a centralized system, or it can extend system boundaries by providing outputs in remote locations.
AudiaEXPO-D is represented as a block in Audia software, for easy inclusion into any system design.
AudiaEXPO-D may also be used to provide outputs from other CobraNet compliant systems or devices.
FEATURES
8 channels of digital audio input via CobraNet
4 AES3 digital outputs on XLR (xfmr coupled)
2 SPDIF outputs (available channels 1-2 & 3-4)
2 TOSLINK outputs (available channels 5-6 & 7-8)
Word Clock output on BNC connector
rotary encoder with LCD for programming/setup
logic inputs for recalling preset configurations
included as block in AUDIA system design software
may be used with any CobraNet compliant system
RoHS compliance and AES grounding practices
CE marked and UL listed power source
covered by Biamp Systems' five-year warranty
ARCHITECTS & ENGINEERS SPECIFICATION
The Digital Output Expander shall provide eight channels of digital audio input via CobraNet®, on two rear panel RJ45 connectors.
Four pairs of AES3 transformer coupled digital audio outputs shall be provided on XLR connectors. Two of these pairs shall be
available also as SPDIF outputs on RCA connectors, and the other two pairs shall be available also as TOSLINK outputs. A word
clock output shall be provided on BNC connector. A rotary encoder and LCD screen shall be provided on the front panel for
programming and setup. Logic Inputs shall be provided for recalling preset configurations.
The Digital Output Expander shall be represented as a functional block within Audia
designs. The Digital Output Expander shall also be capable of providing digital audio outputs from other CobraNet compliant
systems or devices. The Digital Output Expander shall be CE marked with a UL / C-UL listed power source, and shall incorporate
AES48-2005 Grounding & EMC practices. The Digital Output Expander shall be compliant with EU Directive 2002/95/EC, the RoHS
directive. Warranty shall be 5 years.
The Digital Output Expander shall be AudiaEXPO-D.
