About Link Electronics AES/EBU Digital Audio

Make your digital audio distribution effortless and efficient with the LINK 1652 1X8 AES/EBU Digital Audio Distribution Amplifier. This high-quality, reliable device is designed to accept one input and deliver eight outputs of digital audio, adhering to the AES3-1992 specifications. Its innovative design allows for up to eleven 1652 units to be mounted in a 2RU space using LINK's DigiFlex frame, optimizing your workspace.

This durable amplifier features transformer-coupled inputs and outputs as standard, effectively eliminating the risk of ground loops. The DigiFlex frame's unique modular rear cell design offers flexibility, allowing you to choose between terminal block (Model 1016 for twisted-pair cable) or BNC (Model 1017 for coaxial cable) connectors, catering to your specific needs.

The LINK 1652 is equipped with a BNC rear cell interface, designed to AES3-ID specifications, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of devices. The digital signal path employs state-of-the-art integrated circuits for optimal performance. The data is re-sliced and reclocked for jitter attenuation, ensuring a smooth and stable audio output.

This user-friendly device automatically detects and indicates the sample rate via front panel LEDs. It also detects and reports data errors via red LEDs on both the front and rear panels, providing you with real-time error monitoring. An optional "Frame Fault" output can also be enabled for centralized error reporting.

Designed with the professional in mind, the LINK 1652 1X8 AES/EBU Digital Audio Distribution Amplifier is the perfect blend of high performance and economy, promising years of error-free performance.
