Audio Expansion Board (AEB) (700-11-01)

Optional interface board for Mercury hardware panels and analog audio inputs and outputs. Once an AEB interface is added, hardware panels can be connected to enable seamless voice communication between the panels and any other Mercury operator. Optionally, connected analog voice circuits can be made accessible to any device throughout the Mercury system.

Details

  • Provides standard interface for analog inputs and outputs
  • Enables connection of up to 8 user panels per interface
  • Up to 4 Audio Expansion Boards per MIU
  • Each card has an 8-port capacity
  • Balanced and unbalanced audio input and output
  • Software-programmable I/O level adjustments for each port
  • RJ45 connectors for simple cable construction
  • Ideal for extending audio communications over IP
