Henry Engineering AES DigiSwitch 3X1

AES DigiSwitch 3X1 utilizes sealed relays with gold-plated contacts for signal switching. There is no active circuitry in the signal path, hence the AES stream remains bit-accurate with no added delay or latency. The passive switching also permits the unit to be used “in reverse” as a router, sending an AES source to one of three destinations.

Henry Engineering AES DigiSwitch can be controlled with the illuminated pushbuttons on the front panel, and/or remotely controlled with any GPI contact closure, open collector, or DC voltage. Power-up Programming permits the user to determine which of the inputs is automatically selected when AC power is applied. The Priority Return function can automatically select Input #1 if no other input is selected. Tally Outputs are provided to operate remote status LEDs. Inactive sources are automatically terminated.

All AES I/O is via XLR connectors; Remote control is via a 9-pin D connector. The AES DigiSwitch 3X1 is 1/3 rack width and can be mounted in an optional rack shelf, or wall-mounted using optional wall/cabinet mounting brackets. The unit is powered with an internal AC power supply, which can be user-set for either 115 or 230 VAC mains.
