About Link Electronics PAF-821

Over the years, the PAF-821 8x2 Stereo Audio Follow Switcher without Buttons has established itself as a professional-grade audio routing solution, designed to seamlessly complement its video counterpart. This high-quality audio switcher is equipped with high-impedance balanced input circuits, expertly engineered to minimize loading effects and noise interference on incoming signals.

The PAF-821 boasts a low output impedance of 66 Ohms, capable of delivering a maximum level of +24dBu. This ensures optimal audio performance, regardless of the complexity of your setup. The input and output connections are facilitated through printed circuit spring terminal blocks, known for their reliable clamping action. This design feature ensures secure and reliable operation, thanks to a force amplifying hinge motion.

For enhanced connectivity, the PAF-821 comes with a nine-pin female D connector, providing a standard RS-232 control serial interface to a computer or modem. This versatile audio switcher is also available in other models, catering to stereo, mono, or four-channel operation.

The PAF-821 stands out with its user-friendly design, devoid of any push buttons on the front panel. Instead, it receives its control functions from the VSW series switchers or RS-232 from a computer. This feature allows for multiple switchers to be controlled by a single remote control panel, specifically the PSR series.

Remote control is facilitated through RS-422 or RS-485 via an RJ11 telephone connector and cable assembly. The PAF-821 is the perfect stereo audio follow companion switcher for the VSW-822 video switcher. Its digital switching logic, combined with high-performance audio circuitry, forms the foundation for the next generation of audio routing switchers.

All VSW, ASW, PAF, and PSR series units occupy a single rack space, making them a compact and efficient solution for your audio needs. Each unit comes with a power supply, ensuring reliable operation and longevity. The PAF-821 8x2 Stereo Audio Follow Switcher without Buttons is a testament to durable, high-quality, and versatile audio equipment that Adorama is known for.
