Peavey MEDIAMATRIX CAB 8O User manual

Brand: Peavey

Model: MEDIAMATRIX CAB 8O

Type: User manual

Description

The CAB

8i and CAB

8o,

respectively, are eight-input and eight-

output MediaMatrix

gateways onto and

off of an Ethernet network for real-time

MediaMatrix

audio distribution and

control. They employ Cobranet proprietary

protocol to ensure seamless, error-free

transmission of high-quality real-time

audio without drop-outs or lossy

compression across a 100baseT Ethernet

network.

The CAB

8i uploads eight channels of

either microphone-level or line-level

analog audio signals onto an Ethernet

network. Each input channel has software

controlled, continuously variable analog

input gain from -9 dB to +60 dB in 1 dB

steps. Each has 48-volt phantom power

and a 20 dB mic/line pad. Both functions

are software switchable.

The CAB 8o downloads eight channels

of line-level analog audio signals from an

Ethernet network. Maximum output levels

are individually jumper-selectable between

+24 dBu, +18 dBu, +12 dBu, and +6 dBu.

In addition to eight input or output audio

paths, both products incorporate eight

voltage-control input ports, eight software

controlled TTL outputs port, eight software

controlled relays with both normally open

and normally closed contacts, an RS-485

port with multi-drop connections, and two

word-clock linking BNC connectors.

Features

or line-level audio transmitted onto

an Ethernet network using CobraNet

protocol sampled at 48 kHz (CAB 8i).

¥ Eight channels of line-level audio
