VTG Introduces DigiPHY Line EtherSound-Based Pro Audio Networking Devices
January 27, 2006
VTG, the parent company of Horizon Music Inc. and Rapco International, leading manufacturers of audio and video interfacing and cable equipment, introduced EtherSound-based Professional Audio Networking devices under the "DigiPHY" model line at Winter NAMM 2006.
"We're confident that EtherSound is a perfect fit for the Pro Audio community and we're pleased to offer the DigiPHY high-fidelity lineup of superior-quality, robust, and easy to operate devices in 2006," says Darius Seabaugh, VTG's Executive Vice President of Sales and Marketing. "With modular 8-channel mic/line input and line level output devices, that can be monitored, configured, or re-configured on-the-fly locally or remotely via included software, most anything is possible."
NAMM attendees were able to see the power and simplicity of the DigiPHY8Mic and DigiPHY8Out at both booths. Non-proprietary, affordable, and ubiquitous Ethernet is the standard of transport — providing users with an unprecedented level of flexibility when networking the modules in daisy-chain, star, or mixed topologies. Accessories for harnessing DigiPHY high-fidelity network devices include "DuraCAT5e," a rugged Category 5e heavily jacketed Ethernet cable (solid or stranded patch available), with available Neutrik Ethercon connectors.
A few of the many features of the DigiPHY8mic include an 8-Channel design in 1RU full metal jacket (i.e. no plastic to discolor or crack), all connections in the rear, faceplate with LED status and channel indicators, no fans or other moving parts (a.k.a. noisemakers, EMI generators, or common failure points). Available on each input: 48V phantom power, programmable input gain ranges from 0 to 66 dB in 0.5 dB steps, maximum input levels to +10 dBu/2k, and 80 Hz low-cut and 12 kHz high-cut filters.
