Reliable 16-Channel A/B Switcher for Broadcast and Studio Applications
The BDI 8/16-16 16-Channel A/B Switcher is a professional-grade passive relay-based switcher designed for seamless audio routing in broadcast, studio, and emergency switching applications. Capable of handling two sets of 8 or 16 channels, this switcher allows instant selection between sources, ensuring uninterrupted audio transmission. Built for reliability and flexibility, the BDI 8/16-16 is ideal for applications requiring secure, high-quality switching solutions.
Flexible Channel Configuration for Custom Switching Needs
Available in both 8-channel and 16-channel configurations, this switcher adapts to a wide range of signal management requirements. Whether used in studio switching, emergency backup routing, or multi-channel audio setups, the BDI 8/16-16 offers a dependable solution with simple and efficient operation. For larger systems, multiple units can be stacked and slaved together to expand channel capacity beyond 16 pairs.
Simple and Intuitive Control Options
The BDI 8/16-16 features front-panel command and status buttons for quick and easy switching between A and B sources. For remote operation, a ground-start remote control and status system is available via the rear panel, allowing seamless integration with automation systems or manual remote switching when needed.
Reliable Passive Relay Design for Secure Signal Switching
This switcher is built with passive relay technology, ensuring long-term reliability and consistent audio signal integrity. Unlike active electronic switching systems, passive relays provide fail-safe operation, making this unit ideal for mission-critical applications where continuous performance is essential.
Industry Standard Connectivity for Easy Integration
All signal connections on the BDI 8/16-16 use DB-25 connectors conforming to the Tascam D-88 standard. This design allows for quick and simple integration with professional audio systems using standard DB-25 to XLR breakout cables, available separately for enhanced flexibility.
Durable Construction for Broadcast and Studio Environments
Built with a steel chassis, the BDI 8/16-16 provides superior shielding against 50/60 Hz hum pickup, ensuring clean audio signal transmission in analog applications. The rugged switching power supply is designed to withstand harsh electrical environments and is compatible with global power distribution systems, making it a reliable choice for demanding audio installations.
