JL Audio JLAMPVXIHUB: VXI-Series Communication & Optical Network Interface

Features:

• The VXI-Series amplifier ecosystem is designed to be very flexible, offering users almost limitless combinations of amplifiers and channel architectures, alongside the amazing power of its integrated DSP technology.  The JLAMPVXIHUB is an accessory designed to simplify the control of a networked amplifier system, while greatly easing the setup process, by allowing all amplifiers to appear in a single tun software session.
• JLAMPVXIHUB performs 2 distinct functions as part of a system employing 2 / more VXI-Series amplifiers: data networking and digital Audio distribution.
• Data Networking is the primary function of the JLAMPVXIHUB, permitting a network of VXI-Series amplifiers to respond to synchronized commands from a single DRC controller (DRC-100 and 200 / 205, all sold separately).  These commands can include master volume, subwoofer and zone level, fader, and preset selection.
• The JLAMPVXIHUB also enables the Networked VXI-Series amplifiers to be tuned from within a single tun software session, allowing the user to quickly switch between amplifiers during the tuning process, without disconnecting and connecting multiple cables.
• For data Networking purposes, the JLAMPVXIHUB is equipped alongside 1 master and 5 slave JLid Communication connections, permitting the Networking of up to 6 VXI-Series amplifiers using standard cat 5E cables (1 master and 5 slave amplifiers).  For more complex systems, 2 JLAMPVXIHUB's can be daisy chained to create a Network of up to 10 VXI-Series amplifiers (1 master and 9 slave amplifiers).
• The JLAMPVXIHUB also includes a dedicated JLid Communication accessory port to allow the connection of the optional JLAMPVXIBTC Bluetooth Communicator (sold separately).  This accessory enables convenient wireless setup and tuning of the entire amplifier Network using a compatible IOS or android device through tun mobile or express apps.
• The secondary function of the JLAMPVXIHUB is to distribute synchronous Optical digital Audio signals to the Networked amplifiers, avoiding the delays associated through handing digital signals off through a chain of amplifiers.  The Optical digital Audio output of a source unit connects directly to the JLAMPVXIHUB's Optical Audio input, which then distributes synchronous digital Audio to the amplifiers from its 5 Optical outputs.  The JLAMPVXIHUB handles S / PDIF signals up to 24 bits / 192 kHz.
• For ease of connection, the JLAMPVXIHUB is powered via the JLid connection to VXI-Series amplifiers and requires no separate power or turn on wiring.
• JLid Communication connections: 1 master input and accessory port / 5 slave outputs
• Optical Audio (S / PDIF) connections: 1 input / 5 synchronous outputs
• 3 way configuration switch: standalone / primary / secondary
• Amplifier identifier status LED's
• Powered via JLid connection to VXI-Series amplifiers
