Sonifex RB-DSD8 – The Ultimate 8-Channel Silence Switcher for Seamless Audio Control
Looking for a reliable way to manage multi-channel audio? The Sonifex RB-DSD8 has you covered! This powerhouse handles up to 8 mono or 4 stereo channels of analogue or digital audio, making it perfect for everything from simple setups to complex 5.1 or 7.1 surround systems.
Smart Switching Made Easy…
Designed to detect and act on silence, the RB-DSD8 automatically switches to a backup audio source if the main one goes quiet, ensuring smooth broadcasts every time. Whether you want automatic or manual control, this unit adapts to your needs with just the push of a button.
With independent settings for each stereo pair, you can customise inputs and outputs to be analogue or digital, depending on your setup. Adjust silence detection levels and intervals to suit your needs, or link channels for multi-channel operation—ideal for more involved audio systems.
The RB-DSD8 works with Sonifex SCi software for tailored settings and remote control via USB or Ethernet. The unit also features a “follower mode”, letting you link two units for simultaneous control.
Dual redundant power supplies keep things running smoothly, and if power fails, the passive signal path ensures uninterrupted audio flow.
With built-in sample rate converters and flexible sync options, the RB-DSD8 ensures seamless audio performance, whether you’re using it in master, auto-lock, or follower modes.
Whether it’s for a transmitter site, a studio, or anything in between, the RB-DSD8 is your go-to for professional audio switching.
