About Link Electronics PAF-820

You can elevate your audio management capabilities with the PAF-820, a professional-grade stereo audio follow switcher designed to accompany video setups. This switcher stands out with its high-impedance balanced input circuits, meticulously engineered to minimize loading effects and extraneous noise, ensuring the pristine integrity of incoming signals. With a low output impedance of just 66 Ohms, it can deliver a robust maximum level of +24dBu, catering to the demands of professional audio environments.

The PAF-820's input and output connections are facilitated by high-quality printed circuit spring terminal blocks, which are renowned for their reliable clamping action. This feature guarantees secure and stable operation through a force amplifying hinge motion, providing peace of mind during critical audio sessions. For seamless integration with your existing systems, a nine-pin female D connector is included, offering a standard RS-232 serial interface for computer or modem control.

Versatility is at the core of the PAF-820, with the ability to function in various configurations including stereo, mono, or four-channel operation. The RJ-11 telephone connector is a testament to its adaptability, allowing multiple audio follow units to work in concert for complex audio layering. Moreover, the PAF-820 can be effortlessly controlled by multiple PSR series remote control panels, streamlining your audio management process.

As a standalone audio switcher or part of a stereo audio follow system, the PAF-820 integrates digital switching logic with high-performance audio circuitry, laying the groundwork for unmatched reliability. Its compact design ensures it occupies only a single rack space, making it an efficient addition to any professional setup.

For those seeking comprehensive control, the PAF-820 is compatible with the PSR-824 remote control and the VSW-821 video switcher. This compatibility extends to the possibility of connecting several PSR-824 remotes, enabling audio source selection from multiple locations within your facility.

In summary, the PAF-820 is a durable, high-quality, versatile, user-friendly, and reliable solution for audio professionals who require a sophisticated audio switching system.
