Broadcast-quality, balanced analog audio DA with stereo 2x4, mono 1x8, and stereo sum L+R x 8 selectable output modes.

(This product is discontinued. Please see 9243 for its replacement.)

The 9242 Analog Audio Distribution Amplifier with Remote Gain Control is a broadcast-quality balanced analog audio DA with stereo 2×4, mono 1×8, and stereo sum L+R x 8 selectable output modes. Unlike most analog audio DAs, the 9242 electronic attenuators allow overall gain (stereo ganged) and per-channel trim (offset) via DashBoard™ remote control.

The space-saving design and very low power consumption of the 9242 provides for high density, allowing two cards to be collocated in adjacent slots and served by a single, standard-width “split” rear module.
