BDI ATB-300-8 Audio Tool Box 8 - Analog I/O

Versatile Rack-Mounted Analog Audio Switching and Routing
The Broadcast Devices ATB-300-8 Audio Tool Box is a professional rack-mounted system designed for seamless analog audio routing and switching. Featuring eight analog inputs and outputs, this unit is built for broadcast facilities, recording studios, and live production environments where precise audio control is essential. With programmable silence detection, seamless switching, and remote control capabilities, the ATB-300-8 ensures uninterrupted and high-quality audio distribution for critical applications.

Eight Analog Inputs and Outputs for Flexible Signal Management
The ATB-300-8 provides eight analog I/O connections, allowing users to route multiple sources with ease. This flexible configuration is ideal for setups that require multiple analog sources and destinations while maintaining high-fidelity signal transmission. Whether integrating into an existing broadcast system or creating a custom audio distribution network, this unit provides reliable and interference-free signal routing.

Automatic Silence Detection and Failover Protection
Built to maintain continuous audio transmission, the ATB-300-8 features a programmable silence detection system that actively monitors input signals. Users can set thresholds, delay times, and automatic revert functions to ensure that if a signal dropout occurs, the unit instantly switches to a backup source. When the primary signal is restored, the system reverts seamlessly, preventing interruptions in audio playback.

Seamless and Noise-Free Audio Switching
Broadcast Devices’ proprietary Silent Switch technology guarantees that all audio transitions occur smoothly without unwanted artifacts or pops. This feature is essential for live broadcast and production environments where clean audio switching is necessary. While digital versions offer frame rate conversion, this fully analog model focuses on delivering pristine analog audio performance without digital interference.

User-Friendly Configuration and Advanced Routing Control
The ATB-300-8 includes an intuitive front-panel menu system for configuring gain adjustments, input phase inversion, and input mode selection. Users can program up to eight priority channels, allowing for advanced failover setups and precise audio management. This level of customization ensures optimal performance across a wide range of professional audio applications.

Remote Control Compatibility and Power Fail Memory
For enhanced functionality, the ATB-300-8 supports remote control via standard parallel or optional serial interfaces. Programmable alarm contacts enable remote monitoring and activation of alternate sources. In the event of a power failure, the power fail memory function restores the last selected channel upon reboot, ensuring minimal disruptions and maintaining system integrity.
