ARX Systems has updated the MSX32 8-input/32-output Active Microphone/Line Splitter.

‘Since its initial release the MSX32 has found widespread use wherever flexible, ultra low noise Audio splitting and distribution is required,’ says ARX Managing Director, Colin Park. ‘After extensive consultations with users worldwid,e we've upgraded the MSX32 with new features including front panel switchable gain of 0 - 10 - 20 - 30 - 40dB, isolation transformers on the front panel A & B outputs, and a rear panel switch allowing direct hard-linking the channel input to the main output.

‘We have retained popular features, including the ability for channels to be linkable up to 1 in, 32 out and our unique SilentSwitch phantom power switching.

‘Our broadcast users also requested the addition to the range of a backup power supply for critical “must run” applications, so we've introduced the PSU32 redundant power supply which has the ability to power up to six MSX32 units automatically."

The MSX32 is housed in a 2U-high chassis, the PSU32 is housed in a 1U-high chassis.
