MT109-100
8-In 1-Out Stereo Audio Switcher Card
The MT109-100 is a Stereo Audio Switcher Card
which allows the connection of 8 stereo audio
sources to a single receiving device, such as a
cassette recorder, mixer, and/or amplifier for sound
reinforcement.
Inputs are selected through easy-to-use ASCII
commands from a control system or computer
connected to the RS-232 port of the MultiTasker
enclosure. While the MT109-100 can accept only
unbalanced audio inputs, the output can be wired
for either balanced or unbalanced audio.
The MT109-100 is primarily designed to utilize the
inputs and output offered on the connector panel.
However, it also offers a special feature that
enables the MT109-100 to send or receive stereo
audio signals to or from another MT109-100.
This feature can be used in a variety of ways to
expand the capabilities of the card. For example,
two MT109-100 cards can be installed in the
MultiTasker and the output of one can be routed to
an input of the other, creating a 15-In, 1-Out
switcher.
