Sonifex RB-DA6RG 6 Way Stereo Distribution Amplifier with RJ45 Connectors & Output Gain Control, 20Hz-20kHz Frequency Response, >50Ohm Output Impedance, 1U

The Sonifex RB-DA6RG is a 1U rack-mount high performance 6 way stereo distribution amplifier for splitting a source into a number of different outputs. It is identical to the RB-DA6R with the addition of individual output gain adjustment, instead of global stereo gain adjustment. The amplifier provides multiple balanced audio outputs using RJ45 connectors wired to the StudioHub+ standard.

By using RJ45 outputs, it allows simpler CAT5 cabling to used to connect the amplifier to other products. The RB-DA6R has one stereo input which is switchable via a rear panel push switch between paralleled balanced inputs (2 x XLR sockets or 1 x stereo input on RJ45) and unbalanced inputs (1 pair of stereo phono sockets).

The unit has 6 stereo outputs on 6 x RJ45 connectors. The unit can also be configured so that 1 mono input can be distributed to 12 outputs by use of a switch which is recessed on the front panel to prevent it being accidentally knocked.

The inputs and outputs are electronically balanced and can be wired unbalanced. Each output is individually buffered so that a short circuit on one output won't affect the others. The left and right input gain controls (normalizing) are pre-set potentiometers accessible through the front panel. The output gain may be varied from -8dB to 18dB which is useful for normalizing consumer and professional signals to give outputs of -15dBu and 0dBu respectively.
