AES SPLITTER

We designed this AES Splitter for a special customer that makes High-End Professional outdoor speaker systems.

Individual speaker units are placed all around a theme park spanning hundreds of acres in size. The speaker count can be very high, depending on the size of the attraction. AES3 Digital Audio is used to deliver pristine digital audio to the speakers in "chains". Each speaker "chain" plays the same audio, but has the benefit of being wired for Left or Right channel. This provides 2 "zones" per AES3 signal chain.

Inside each speaker unit is one of our AES DAC's.

The AES Splitter is powered from 12-24VDC on a 2-pin terminal strip.

AES Input signal is received by a differential line receiver. It is this onfiguration that makes it possible to run the AES3 signal hundreds of feet on Belden 1696A cable.

The PRICOM AES Splitter is also electronically driven (not an AES3 transformer), this combination of AES Splitter feedin the AES DAC makes cable runs of hundreds of feet possible. Normally AES3 signals are transformer ballanced, which reduces the voltage swing possible in the wire. Our increased voltage level on the Belden 1696A cable makes the long runs with 110 Ohm termination run higly reliable at 24Bits/48KHz without using Fiber.

The PRICOM AES Splitter is the perfect AES3 Signal Splitter and Amplifier to integrate into your own product!
