Mechanical Relay
This accessory works to provide a mechanical relay for injecting emergency alerts into the broadcast chain balanced XLR cable or onboard audio. Analog audio output from the AlertPlayer at your studio is hooked into this relay that mechanically switches sources for output to the transmitter using the DB9 RS232 GPIO Trigger. No Latency or 1/2 second delay. In the event of power failure to Alert Box, signal from source continues to play through by default. Maintains clean audio signal from source to transmitter, independently of Alert Box. Made in Canada.
