DSO Card
Overview
Expand your VENUE system with additional digital outputs. The DSO (Digital Stage Output) Card is an option for the VENUE Stage Rack that adds eight channels of digital outputs to any Stage Rack-based VENUE system. Get simultaneous access to the eight digital outputs through the card's four two-chchannel AES/EBU XLR connectors as well as its ADAT TOSLINK optical connector. Plus, get instant verification of left/right signal presence through a pair of LEDs for each of the four stereo XLR connectors.
You can install up to six DSO Cards into a single Stage Rack for a total of 48 digital output channels, or mix and match with other VENUE cards to customize your output.
