FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Introduction Of EAW Commercial DX1208 Matrix Mixer

Whitinsville, MA – June 18, 2008 - The new EAW Commercial DX1208 is a 12-input, 6-output DSP matrix mixer designed for commercial and install applications.

Four inputs are mic/line capable, with selectable 48-volt phantom power provided when the user selects mic level. Four “consumer level” inputs (unbalanced RCA connectors) facilitate easy interface of consumer-type source devices, while an additional four digital inputs are available on S/PDIF with sample rate conversion between 44.1kHz and 48kHz. All 12 inputs are included in the audio matrix and can be assigned DSP functions prior to distributing signal at line level.

The DX1208 can also receive up to 6 logic inputs and send up to 3 logic outputs, combined on a single 18-pin connector and programmable via the included EAW Pilot control software. Control of the DX1208 via third party systems (i.e., AMX and Crestron) is easily attained with a serial connection (DB9) on the rear panel. Two RJ-45 connections are provided as well for linking multiple (up to eight) DX Link enabled products together in a ring network topology.

A remote control port (3-position Phoenix connector) is included on the rear panel, facilitating the linking (using RS-485) of three different types of remotes, all mounted on wall panels. Up to eight remotes per zone can be attached to the DX1208, and each is individually addressable.

EAW Pilot’s graphic user interface (GUI) presents simple, intuitive programming, and is capable of operation within the Gabriel environment. Up to 24 programmable presets are available per unit, with the software running under Windows 2000, XP, and Vista formats. The programming interface is flexible, with connection via the USB port on the front panel or the Ethernet jack or DB9 connector on the rear panel.

The DX1208 employs a universal power supply, 90-240VAC, 50/60Hz.
