Multifunction changeover

Axel Technology

Axel Technology

Merlin: The Merlin is designed to provide sophisticated changeover of audio signals, such as stereo pairs and even FM multiplex and video composite signals. Incoming signals are constantly monitored and if a fault is detected on the signal applied to a set input, it will switch to a stand-by source. Up to seven internal relays can be associated to the audio switching for further alarm signalling, external signal routing, starting CD players, etc. The delay times before switching and before returning to the normal state are easily set by trimmers and jumpers. The Merlin features both XLR balanced and RCA audio inputs for an easier connection to either professional or consumer equipment. Each pair of RCA inputs can be also reverted to unbalanced foldback outputs. The balanced XLR output stage incorporates high-current line drivers capable to always deliver optimal signals even down long cable runs and with low load impedance.
