GDS Group Use Sonifex Redbox Products

    GDS Group are an award-winning event company which were formed in 1993. They bring senior leaders and technology solution providers together to solve complex digital transformation challenges and drive business outcomes. They do this through different events types such as Virtual summits, Virtual roundtables, Virtual showcases, Live events and Jugo: A truly disruptive SaaS platform designed as the complete internal & external meetings and events experience ecosystem.
    In order to facilitate some of their services, Mike Politis, the GDS Technical Studio Manager, on a recommendation from Cedar Audio, decided to purchase three Sonifex RB-DAC1 Digital to Analogue Converters and three RB-DMA2 Dual Digital Microphone Amplifiers. They were acquired to convert Analogue signals to Digital for use with Cedar Audio DNS8D’s in order to clean their mic feeds from the studio, and back from Digital to Analogue again.
    Claudia Effra-Hume, Marketing Director of GDS Group, said: “This equipment does a very specific job to help us drive a better experience for our audience.”
    The Sonifex RB-DAC1 is a 1U rack-mount digital to analogue converter which uses 24 bit, 192kHz capable devices. It produces a stereo balanced XLR or unbalanced phono output from an incoming AES/EBU or S/PDIF digital input signal. There is also a headphone output with volume control for monitoring purposes.
    The Sonifex RB-DMA2 is a dual digital microphone amplifier which consists of two independent low-noise microphone pre-amplifiers for converting microphone level signals to a digital AES/EBU or S/PDIF output. Individual analogue balanced line level outputs are also produced for use, for example, to feed talkback systems. The unit can either be used as two independent microphone amplifiers, or one mic input can be copied to both channels of the digital output.
