Hear Technologies OCTOHBH Hear Back OCTO Hub

The modular Hub consists of four card slots, which can be populated with any configuration of input and/or output cards to fit your exact needs. Each Hub has the ability to supply signal and power to as many as 32 Mixers (8 per Network Card), each over a single standard CAT6* cable. With the built-in HBUS In/ Out ports, multiple Hubs can be daisy-chained together, allowing for truly unlimited system expansion.

Key Features

• Allows 32 channel digital input cards (e.g., Dante, Waves, MADI)
• Up to 32 input channels per Hub
• Multiple Hubs daisy-chain for up to 128 input channels
• Mix and match input types (ex. Dante and Analog)
• Six user-selectable sample rates indicated by LEDs: 44.1kHz, 48kHz, 88.2kHz, 96kHz, 176.4kHz and 192kHz
• Analog, Dante and AES/EBU goes up to 192kHz
• ADAT - goes up to 48kHz (SMUX not supported; ex. ADAT will down sample from 192kHz to 48kHz)
• Waves - goes up to 96kHz
• Less than .25 milliseconds total system delay (latency) from analog input to output
• 16 RGB LEDs intuitively display signal/peak levels for channel metering
• Standard CAT5e/6 cabling delivers power and signals to Mixers
• Daisy-chain via HBus for very large systems
• 1 RU chassis
• Modular I/O card-slot configurable mainframe
• Gigabit Ethernet network fabric
• 48V Power Over Ethernet supply
