The RB-DDA6A digital distribution amplifier is used for distributing digital audio data in AES/EBU format, repeating both the audio data and the status information of the input whilst re-normalising to standard digital audio levels. It has a single XLR-3 female AES/EBU audio input which is distributed to 6 XLR-3 male AES/EBU outputs. Applications include distributing audio from a digital mixing desk to multiple digital recorders, or feeding multiple studios with an output from a DAT machine. It can accept input sample rates in the range of 30kHz – 100kHz, and bit rates of 16, 20 and 24 bit. It can be used for standard distribution at 16 bit 44.1kHz, as well as for high quality 24 bit 96kHz recording.
