Sescom FA8LTT01 Overview
Delivering reliable, near-lossless audio transmission over an enormous 12.4-mile range, the SES-X-FA8LTT01 Audio Fiber Extender from Sescom is an 8-channel analog audio extender that converts XLR audio input to single-mode fiber optic signals at 24-bit / 48 kHz for protection against EMI and ground loops, as well as setting up cascaded audio systems, such as broadcast setups. Four 5-pin Phoenix block connectors are utilized on the included plug-and-play transmitter and receiver units, through which an analog signal is converted to an ST fiber connection (transmitter) and then back to analog again on the receiver unit.
LEDs are featured on each unit for monitoring power and fiber link status. Each unit is housed in rugged aluminum for protection from damage or interference. This system includes two power supplies (one for each unit), a 12" four Phoenix 5-pin to two XLR female breakout adapter, a 12" four Phoenix 5-pin to two XLR male breakout adapter, and one 3.2' 9U/125U single-mode fiber optic patch cable to get you started.
Fiber optics are an ideal solution for many broadcast and radio applications or commercial sound installations such as sports stadiums or huge music venues. Optical transmissions have the advantage of resistance to EMI and the ability to support incredibly long transmission ranges with minimal signal loss, as light has no conductor to interact with, thus little to no resistance. As such, when one needs to extend an audio transmission over a great distance that exceeds a hundred feet or more, optical conversion can make it much easier to facilitate such long ranges.
