Sonifex CM-AESX3 - Single 3 Way AES/EBU Passive Splitter With XLR Connectors

The CM-AESX3 is a passive “one-to-three” splitter housed in a small but robust aluminium box. It is designed to split a single AES3 digital audio source to up to three destinations, using Neutrik XLR connectors.

The CM-AESX3 provides solutions to a range of digital signal distribution problems, where correct termination is essential to maintain signal integrity. The input signal is split through high quality transformers, and 110Ω termination can be applied, if desired, to unconnected outputs.

The CM-AESX3 requires no power to operate, ensuring your audio remains connected from source to destination(s) without interruption from power failures.
