DiGiCo X-D-RACK-2 SD-Series 32-Channel Input Expansion Box with Cat6 Connection

DiGiCo X-D-RACK-2 SD-Series Input Expansion Box - 32 Channels with Cat6

Floor mounted DiGiCo I/O

As recognisable as the consoles it supports, the DiGiCo D-Rack comes as standard with the SD9 and is available as an option on all SD-Series consoles.

• 32 microphone inputs for enhanced audio capture
• Digital Cat5e connection for noise-free operation
• Optional features for ultimate flexibility

Providing 32 microphone inputs, 8 line outputs and 8 optional modular outputs that can be selected as either analogue or AES, the D-Rack provides a maximum capacity of 32 ins and 16 outs at 48kHz. The hum and noise of analogue multicores are eliminated courtesy of a digital Cat5e connection to the console work surface. When running at 96kHz on Cat5e, the D-Rack supports 28 mic inputs and up to 16 outputs.

For full flexibility, optional 7U rack mount ears are also available alongside an extra PSU for redundancy and a fibre optic connection.

• Floor mounted stage rack
• Up to 32 Inputs and 16 outputs at 96kHz
• Optional fibre optic connection
• Optional redundant PSU and 7U rack mounting kit
