LONDON — At the 2012 PLASA show, Klark Teknik unveiled the DN9610 AES Repeater. The unit is an easy to use, cost-effective solution for extending AES50 multichannel digital audio network connections (Cat-5e/Cat-6 cabling) to greater distances than previously achievable.
With two independent AES50 ports, the DN9610 is capable of extending two AES50 streams by up to 100m (330ft) and multiple DS9610s can be daisy chained in series for longer runs. Each AES50 feed can carry 24 bidirectional channels at 96 kHz or 48 bidirectional channels at 48 kHz.
Operation is simple — just connect one or two of your AES 50 lines to the DN9610 inputs, connect your Cat-5e/Cat-6 feeds to the outputs and you’re ready to go. The DN9610 features LEDs that indicate AES50 activity of the inputs and puts of both feeds, a power LED and two power supply inputs for redundancy. The DN9610 is housed in a rugged, compact, alloy case, and enclosed in a shock-absorbing silicone sleeve, and will fit almost anywhere, being no larger than many D.I. boxes.
