50 ohm BNC connecter
15 kHz. to 49.5 kHz. valid range of input frequency
To enable Sync: front panel hexadecimal switches must be set between 80 and FE hex or
configure via SNMP.
To use as Slave: connect to Master via coax cable Sync, then duplicate hexadecimal switch
settings (see pages 16 and 17).

Specifications
Peak Audio and QSC provide support for audio networks built with repeaters, switches and media converters only.
(QSC support is only available if the network uses QSC CobraNet products such as RAVE.)
Network products distributing CobraNet audio must meet specific timing requirements. Audio distribution via
routers, gateways, protocol bridges, ATM, wireless transceivers, telecom or other WAN products is sometimes
possible, but may prove unreliable and may require custom (contracted) support and some trial and error
experimentation. Further information is available on the Peak Audio website: http://www.peakaudio.com
