dbx is shipping its TR1616 Blu link I/O a 16-input/16-output digital on ramp/off ramp module. The unit is intended for use with mixing consoles and the new dbx PMC Personal Monitor Controller, a remote control that allows performers to set-up and control a mix of up to 16 channels of audio via a BSS Audio Blu link interface. A live mode provides the capability to see real-time view of channels.
The TR1616 offers 16 XLR/TRS analogue inputs and 16 analogue outputs, along with Blu link RJ-45 Loop input/output, and an RJ-45 Snake input/output ports. Users can configure up to 256 channels at 48kHz or up to 128 channels at 96kHz.
No addressing or programming is required.
Each of the TR1616’s 16 front-panel channels features a high-quality dbx mic preamp with mic gain, 20dB pad, low-cut filter, +48V phantom power and polarity selection, along with signal, clipping and additional indicators. A rear-panel USB and Ethernet port enables uploading future firmware updates.
Up to 60 TR1616 units can be linked with no loss of control or fidelity, enabling systems to be expanded as connectivity requirements increase.
‘Our TR1616 allows users to create a digital snake or network to the size they need with plug-and-play simplicity. In an easy to use and highly flexible way using the Blu link digital audio bus,’ says Noel Larson, Market Manager for Portable PA, Tour and Recording. ‘Thanks to the TR1616, customers no longer have to keep buying new systems and replacing old ones, as the system will expand with your needs.’
