With the advent of digital
audio consoles and recording devices, the need often arises for a digital
output to be sent to multiple digital inputs. But digital signals cannot
be split as simply as analog audio signals.
Trouble-free transmission of
digital audio requires strict adherence to standards for input and output
impedances as well as wiring. If the standards are not met the robustness
of the system can diminish causing noise, dropouts, or complete loss of
signal.
As the sampling rate increases,
so does the possibility of failures. Changing the input impedance by wiring
two or more inputs across one output simply does not work.
There are many digital audio
distribution amplifiers on the market. They can do many things such as reclocking,
reshaping, matrixing, format conversion, etc. But when the need is only
for splitting, especially multiple channels, these other devices are prohibitively
expensive, bulky, and difficult to set up.
The Model 148 was developed
specifically for those applications in which the requirement is to feed
the same digital audio signal to multiple inputs. It is clean, stable, and
extremely cost effective.
