AudioControl is now shipping its BLX-1K balanced line driver/receiver, a device designed as a premium, simple solution to address projects requiring longer cables.

The BLX-1K is a signal extender that sends and receives a fully balanced, noise-rejecting, analogue audio signal up to 1,000 feet over standard Cat5/6 cable.

Designed to be used in pairs at both ends of the signal path, each BLX-1K contains a 2-channel receive stage as well as a 2-channel transmit stage, enabling audio to travel in both directions across a span of standard Cat5/6.

Once wired connections are made, the A/B button on one unit is pressed to reverse the signal path. Signal gain can then be set to complete the installation.

The BLX-1K comes equipped with a 24 VAC transformer for easy connection and ultra-quiet performance.

It delivers a stout output of nearly 8V RMS with an exceptionally low noise floor, providing a pure, crystal clear audio signal over long Ethernet runs – the ultimate problem-solver for A/V installers.
