(#300) AES Digital
The AES Digital module is the most straightforward audio solution for facilities that route AES audio and use house sync to time audio and video sources. The incoming AES audio sample rate should be equal to the internal sample rate selected for the mixer (48, 96 or 192kHz). The Module Menu in the 328 mixers allows many of the AES channel status bits, as well as the lock and error status, to be monitored at a glance.

(#301) AES SRC Digital
The AES SRC Digital module upgrades the standard AES Digital module with the addition of asynchronous sample rate converters on each input pair. This module is recommended for applications where wild (unlocked) sources such as CD players or equipment with varying sample rates are used. A bypass mode—accessible in the Module Menu of the 328 mixers—allows the sample rate converter to be bypassed for locked inputs when desired.

(#302) Analog
Four balanced line level inputs and high-quality Burr-Brown ADCs make this module a great choice for analog input sources. The built-in analog gain trims allow operating level to be reached with inputs as hot as 28dBu to as low as -18dBu (peak). Input connections are made on a 15-pin D-Sub connector. A rack-mount external XLR connector bridge is available (see Accessories below) to speed the installation process.

(#303) Analog w/Mic
The Analog w/Mic module uses the same high-performance circuitry as the 4 Channel Analog Input, and adds an additional two channels of balanced mic input on standard XLR connectors. A phantom power switch turns on or off 48V phantom power to both inputs, and an external LED indicator lights to warn when phantom power is active. Onboard jumpers for the pin 1 connections allow multiple grounding options and AES48 compliance.

(#304) SD/HD SDI De-embedder
The SD/HD SDI de-embedder possesses one input and one loop-through output BNC connector for SD/HD SDI sources. SD or HD format is detected automatically. Any two of the four SDI 4-channel groups may be selected from the SDI embedded audio stream using the Module Setup menu on the 328 Mixer display. Asynchronous sample rate converters on the module permit unlocked SDI sources, alternate embedded audio sampling rates, or higher audio mixer internal sample rates to be used without audio 'hits'. Alternatively, the sample rate converters may be bypassed if the mixer is operated at 48kHz and both the mixer and the SDI signal are locked to house sync.

(#310) AES Digital
The AES Digital output provides an additional four AES digital outputs that may be used to drive a second record deck or for digital monitoring. A setup menu on the 328 mixer display allows the outputs to be driven from either the program bus, the monitor bus or the meter bus. The outputs are locked to the mixer and operate at the internal sampling rate of the mixer.

(#313) Analog
The analog output module adds an additional 8 channels of high-performance analog audio to the 328 mixer. Using audiophile quality chips and circuit design, the analog output delivers an incredibly rich and dynamic sound. Like all of the mixer outputs, the analog output may be driven from either the program bus, monitor bus or meter bus. For example, the analog output module may be used to drive the monitor speakers in an edit suite while the onboard monitor outputs of the mixer are switched to run an external meter bridge.

SD/HD SDI Embedder
The SD/HD SDI Embedder module embeds the 8 output channels of the mixer into an SD/HD SDI video stream. The SDI format (SD or HD) is detected automatically. Asynchronous sample rate converters on the module permit unlocked SDI sources or higher audio mixer internal sample rates to be used without audio 'hits'. Alternatively, the sample rate converters may be bypassed if the mixer is operated at 48kHz and both the mixer and the SDI signal are locked to house sync.

(#340) Cable Wrangler
The Cable Wrangler is a 1RU rack-mount panel that can accomodate up to four 4-XLR input bridges, two 8-XLR output bridges, or one 8-XLR output and one or two 4-XLR input bridges. Each bridge comes with a 1 meter (3 feet) shielded audio cable to make connections to the Renegade Labs analog audio input and output modules a snap. Jumpers on each bridge allow a choice of pin 1 grounding configurations to accomodate various grounding schemes and to allow AES48 compliance.

(#347) GPI Module
The GPI module is an affordable option that may be added to any of the 328 Series mixers. It provides four additional GPI contacts allowing external equipment to monitor either program or preview audio and recall register setups. (Gray|328 mixers come standard with one GPI for Transition Start.) The GPI module option is installed at the factory and must be ordered with the initial mixer purchase.
