Peavey MediaMatrix CAB 16o Audio Output Bridge

Peavey MediaMatrix CAB 16o Audio Output Bridge

The CAB ™ 16i and CAB ™16o, respectively, are sixteen line-level input and output MediaMatrix ® gateways onto and off of a 100baseT Ethernet network employing CobraNet ™ proprietary protocol to ensure seamless, error-free transmission of high-quality real-time audio without dropouts or lossy compression.
The CAB 16i digitizes line-level inputs and uploads audio data onto the Cobranet Ethernet network. Each CAB 16i channel has software controlled, continuously variable analog input gain in 1/2 dB steps.
Up to 30 dB of input padding is available for each channel. Both are software controllable through the MediaMatrix. The CAB 16o downloads and reconstructs audio data from the Cobranet Ethernet network 16 line-level channel outputs. Maximum output levels of +6, +12, +18, and +24 dBu and volume from zero to full-scale in 1/2 dB steps are software controllable through the MediaMatrix.
In addition to the input or output audio paths, both products incorporate an RS-485 port and two word-clock linking BNC connectors.

Features :

• Sixteen channels of line-level audio transmitted onto an Ethernet network using CobraNet protocol sampled at 48 kHz (CAB 16i).
• Sixteen channels of line-level audio transmitted from an Ethernet network using CobraNet protocol sampled at 48 kHz (CAB 16o).
• A/D converters are 24-bit 64 times oversampling, using delta-sigma modulation (CAB 16i).
• D/A converters are 24-bit, 128 times oversampling, using delta-sigma modulation (CAB 16o).
• 24, 20, or 16-bit transmission quantization at a 48 kHz sampling rate.
• Low noise/wide dynamic range 108 dB typical (CAB 16i).
• Low noise/wide dynamic range 110 dB typical (CAB 16o).
• A non-Ethernet RS-485 control port with two multi-drop connections.
• Two word clock linking connectors that enable auto-switch-over to a second unit, should one unit fail.
• One rack-unit (1-3/4″), fan-cooled chassis
