About Link Electronics PAF-826

A high-performance solution for audio routing, the PAF-826 16x1 Stereo Audio Follow Switcher is a professional-grade device designed to seamlessly integrate with video companions. This advanced stereo audio switcher boasts high-impedance balanced input circuits, effectively minimizing loading effects and noise interference on incoming signals.

The PAF-826's low output impedance of 66 Ohms ensures a maximum level of +24dBu, delivering superior audio quality. It features input and output connections via printed circuit spring terminal blocks, offering reliable clamping action for secure operation, thanks to a force-amplifying hinge motion.

Equipped with a nine-pin female D connector, the PAF-826 provides a standard RS-232 control interface for easy connection to computers or modems. This stereo audio switcher is also available in other models, offering versatility for stereo, mono, or four-channel operation.

The PAF-826 integrates an RJ-11 telephone connector, enabling multiple audio follow units to operate in tandem for achieving various audio levels. Unlike other models, this switcher does not have push buttons on the front panel, as it receives its control functions from the VSW series switchers or RS-232 from a computer.

For added convenience, multiple switchers can be controlled by a single remote control panel from the PSR series. The PAF-826 is RS-232 controlled, and remote control is facilitated via RS-422 or RS-485 through an RJ11 telephone connector and cable assembly.

The PAF-826 Stereo Audio Follow Switcher combines digital switching logic with high-performance audio circuitry, laying the groundwork for the next generation of audio routing switchers. All units from the VSW, ASW, PAF, and PSR series occupy only one rack space and come with a power supply for reliable operation.

Whether used as an audio follow for the VSW-800 series video switchers or as a standalone audio switcher, the PAF-826 delivers exceptional performance and versatility, making it an essential tool for professional audio setups.
