Klark Teknik KT-AES50 Network Module with 48 Bidirectional Channels

Take your audio networking to the next level with the high-quality KT-AES50 Network Module from Klark Teknik. This advanced module offers a dual port AES50 digital audio interface, ensuring compatibility with both Klark Teknik DN9650 and DN9652 Network Bridges, as well as the Midas NEUTRON-NB Dual Network Bridge Expansion Module for the top-tier NEUTRON High Performance Audio System Engine.

The KT-AES50 stands out with its capacity to support up to 48 bidirectional channels at both 48 kHz or 96 kHz sample rates. This feature, coupled with dual port redundancy in 48 kHz systems, allows for efficient interconnection of two AES50 networks operating at 96 kHz and 48 kHz respectively. This module also provides expanded AES50 channel counts in either 48 kHz or 96 Hz AES50 networks, making it a reliable choice for professional audio networking.

Designed for ease of use, the KT-AES50 can operate from the incoming AES50 clock or an external clock via the host unit. Its panel-mounted LED indicators provide clear visibility of the connection status for both AES50 ports. This durable module is electrically and mechanically compatible with the industry standard Cirrus CM-1 format.

The KT-AES50 incorporates Klark Teknik's Digital Audio Networking SuperMAC (AES50-Compliant) technology. This advanced technology offers high channel counts, ultra-low and deterministic latencies, sample-synchronous and phase-aligned networked clock distribution, error detection and correction, network redundancy, and ease of deployment and use. These features make it an ideal choice to meet the demanding requirements of live concert touring.

The KT-AES50 is compatible with all Midas digital consoles, audio system engines, digital I/O units, and any other AES50-equipped devices. Its flexible connectivity options include two AES50 ports that provide dual redundant connections for 48 bidirectional channels in 48 kHz systems. At a 96 kHz sample rate, the two ports can be operated independently for a combined total of 48 bidirectional channels. This allows the KT-AES50 module to be clocked from one of the AES50 ports, distributing the incoming clock to the second AES50 port and the host unit via its CM-1 interface.
