6 Coaxial Inputs and 6 Optical Inputs Routed to 6 Paired Coaxial and Optical Outputs. DigiPatch 12x6 is an automated patchbay which routs digital audio connections between gear equipped with S/PDIF and ADAT compatible digital audio connectors. If you're tired of reaching behind your rack to repatch digital audio equipment then DigiPatch is the box you have been waiting for. And if you thought a digital audio patchbay had to cost more than the gear it connected, think again. Twelve completely independent sources: six coaxial (RCA) inputs and six optical (EIAJ) inputs. Six targets: one coaxial output and one optical output per target. 50 non-volatile internal patch configurations can be programed, stored, an recalled at any later time. All connections are "format neutral" and can be used for S/PDIF or ADAT. Works with all digital audio format converters and Swiss army knives. Performs simple coaxial-to-optical and optical-to-coaxial translations for S/PDIF signals. Built-in MIDI thru function for easy hook-up to any existing MIDI setup. Multiple DigiPatch patchbays can be cascaded together for even more ins and outs. DigiPatch can be programed from the front panel, or controlled remotely from a computer using DigiPatch Panel software for Mac or PC. The perfect companion for synthesizers, HD recorders, MDMs, digital mixers, digital mic preamps, stand alone ADCs and DACs, effects processors, etc. Single height, full rack mount enclosure. Rugged all steel construction.
