NEW DIGITAL AUDIO ADAPTER BREAKOUT BOX EASES PC CABLE CLUTTER WHILE INCREASING ROUTING FLEXIBILITY IN DIGITAL PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENTS

New Antex Breakout Box for StudioCard™ AV Pro debuts at NAMM

Gardena, California. (January, 1998) – Antex Electronics today introduced the StudioCard AV Pro Breakout Box at the North American Music Merchandiser’s (NAMM) Convention at the Los Angeles Convention Center. Perfect for digital production facilities or desktop project studios, the Antex breakout box significantly eases the cable clutter around your PC while increasing the patching and routing flexibility of your StudioCard AV Pro. It contains all the connectors to access analog and digital I/O, sync and clock feeds.

The black anodized aluminum 2U rackmount unit provides pro-quality XLR and TRS balanced connectors plus software selectable digital I/O via both S/PDIF on RCA and AES/EBU on XLR. The StudioCard AV Pro Breakout Box and all other Antex digital audio products are designed and manufactured under ISO-9001 certification standards.

Leslie Wagner, Antex’ director of marketing, says the box is both a convenience and a professional necessity. “With more dedicated channels of audio being accessed, and more connectors required for clock and timecode inputs and outputs, the StudioCard™ AV Pro breakout box goes a long way to reducing the ‘spaghetti’ that gets underfoot in a computer/audio production setting. The breakout box also allows more flexibility in positioning the production PC in the recording environment,” Wagner said.

The new breakout box is listed at $199.00 (MSRP) and is available now for shipment. Interested users can contact Antex for direct sales at 1-800-532-3092.
