Audio Networking for Radio
The Wheatstone S-16 is a high speed central switch that links multiple studios with your technical operations center. Each of its sixteeen links can handle 64 secure bi-directional data paths with embedded control signals, allowing you to centralize shared audio resources and wiring in your TOC.
The S-16 is a high speed central network switch that connects up to sixteen studios to a technical operations center. It is capable of simultaneously switching 64 bi-directional audio channels to 16 ports — that’s 2048 traffic channels. This unit occupies one 19” wide rack unit (height 1 3/4”), and is 13” deep.Front panel LED indicators display system status, sample rate, and external clock functions. No external PC is required for continuous operation.The sixteen rear mounted RJ-45 audio network ports easily integrate multiple studio systems. Installation is simple: run one UTP CAT5 crossover cable to the S-16 from each of your studios or locally mounted I/O cages. Another wiring option is to run a UTP CAT5 straight connection from the rack room to a small RJ-45 patch point block in each studio. The final connection to each E-Sat rack or control surface can then be made using an off the shelf crossover patch cable.
