Broadcast Tools Universal 4.1 MLR>>Web Switcher/Router 4 Channel

The Universal 4.1 MLR»Web is a web-based transparent four input, one output switcher/router with mechanical latching relays designed to pass AES or stereo balanced signals. The unit may be configured to monitor the output for stereo analog audio silence or loss of AES clock when configured for AES switching.

The Universal 4.1 MLR»Web is perfect for all types of passive signal switching via front panel switches, contact closures, logic or Web interface. Each input features stereo female Neutrik XLR and standard RJ45 audio jacks. The output features stereo male XLR and standard RJ45 audio jacks. Switching is accomplished via mechanical latching gold contact relays, which means that the unit can route a signal in either direction and will keep routing signal even after losing power. Due to the passive nature of the switching, any input level and impedance can be used. Inputs may be balanced or unbalanced, while output levels, impedance, distortion, noise and balancing will match that of the selected input.

Features:
– Front panel channel selection push buttons with active channel LED indicators.
– The “MUTE” function with LED indicator allows the user to turn off all audio.
– Front panel Enable switch with enabled LED indicator can be configured to provide a safety lock to the front panel selection push buttons.
– Built-in web server provides simple, web based notification, monitoring, configuration and control.
– Internal silence sensor with front panel activity and alarm LED indicators.
– Front panel, opto-isolated remote control, and web-based switcher controls.
– Silence trip level detection from -24dB to -35dB in 1 dB steps for each stereo channel.
– Precise alarm time delay from 0(OFF) to 65535 seconds (18 hours, 12 min and 15 sec’s). in one-second increments for each channel.
– Alarm restore time delay from 0(OFF) to 65535 seconds (18 hours, 12 min and 15 sec’s) in one-second increments for each channel.
– Email notification may be configured to alert up to EIGHT recipients when alarms are detected.
– Email logging of system status, along with the site ID may be emailed in time spans from once an hour to once a day.
– Support for STARTTLS secure SMTP authentication (Gmail, etc.).
