The DS800 is an 8 input, 32 output self contained audio distribution system. In standard format each input is split into two transformer-isolated outputs (-10dB level) and two actively balanced outputs. The unit can be internally reconfigured to give more than the standard four outputs from each input up to a total number of 32 outputs. Each input features remote activated pad, adjustable gain, mic/line switch, 48V phantom power, 5 segment LED metering, 'listen' facility. A headphone output and associated gain control are also provided. When using multiple units the 'listen' facility can be cascaded such that any input channel may be listened to via a single headphone output.
