Your Digital Audio Transcoder
Additionally:
When an input is selected, all the outputs are available simultaneously
All inputs and outputs are capable of receiving and transmitting 24 bit,
192kHz digital audio, including multi-channel audio
A twisted pair input and 2 identical twisted pair outputs are also provided
to support an extensive cascade of branching, providing multiple outputs
over a long distance
The system bit can be set to professional or consumer status, while all the
other system bits remain the same
The 466 Digital Audio Transcoder:
Can transmit the highest quality digital audio over several hundred meters
when several 466 units are used – one as a transmitter and one or more as
receivers
Has transformer coupled AES/EBU and AES-ID3 inputs and outputs
Accepts all serial digital audio transmission standards, compliant with
IEC 60958, S/PDIF, EIAJ CP1201 and AES3 interface standards, as well
as multi-channel standards
Is 12VDC fed and is housed in a DigiTOOLS enclosure
To achieve the best performance:
Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise
levels (often associated with low quality cables)
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may
adversely influence signal quality
Position your Kramer 466 Digital Audio Transcoder away from moisture,
excessive sunlight and dust
Close the optical cable’s connectors (when not in use) to protect them
against exposure to dirt and dust
