RS-88A 8X8 Mono or 4X4 Stereo Analog Audio Switcher
RS-88A audio routing systems are available for mono or stereo analog signals, and occupy 2 rack spaces. The mono version provides 8 mono inputs and 8 mono outputs. The stereo version provides 4 stereo inputs and 4 stereo outputs.
All audio connections are balanced, and use locking 3-pin XLR connectors.
Any input may be connected to any output under local or remote control. The RS-88A system is available with front panel pushbutton controls, remote control panels, or both. An external system may also control the RS-88A serially (RS-422 or RS-232).
Specify either RS-88A (Mono) or RS-88A (Stereo) when ordering.
