It can be used for simple point-topoint connections or can form a distribution backbone for sending up to 16 audio channels to multiple remote locations. [. . . ] se K8 as a mini snake for sending audio feeds from an auditorium out a remote broadcast truck. U ount a K8 device in a cluster of powered speakers and drive the entire cluster with a single category 5 cable. M se K8 as a digital snake between the mixing console and the amplifier racks. Put another K8 branch and output device U on stage to drive the stage monitors. Distribute central background music and paging out to individual venue systems in cruise ships, entertainment facilities, convention centers, schools and conference facilities. K8-AO8 ARCHITECT & ENGINEERING SPECS The audio transport system shall carry 16 channels of digital audio integrated with bi-directional remote control and monitoring data over a single category 5 cable up to 200 meters in length without being actively refreshed. The digital audio format shall be uncompressed, 48kHz sampling rate, 24 bit quantization depth and shall have a total latency from analog to analog through the transport system of less than 0. 5 milliseconds. The system shall pass audio when powered up with no software configuration required. The output from the digital audio system shall be via an 8 channel analog decoder with XLR male connectors mounted in an EIA standard 1 unit rackmount case with universal voltage power supply. The signal to noise ratio of the system shall be greater than 100 dB and the audio input device shall drive 2 individual category 5 cables to a length of 200 meters. The output device may be passively daisy-chained to other output devices to extend the K8 bus without. [. . . ] Termination of the digital audio and control lines shall be made with DIP switches on the rear panel. The analog audio input to the digital audio system shall be K+H K8-AO8.
