Breakout box to XLR jacks in a way ideal for use by the broadcast, studio and PA. The TASCAM BO-16DX/OUT is a rugged, rackmounted audio adaptor designed for professional installation and live sound applications. 16 front-panel XLR outputs are internally bridged to dual D-Sub input connectors on the rear panel, providing a fast and easy way to interface between stage boxes, FOH and monitor mixing consoles, audio over IP convertors and more.Designed as companion pieces for the TASCAM ML-16D and ML-32D Analog to Dante convertors, a combination of BO-16DX/IN and BO-16DX/OUT provide an elegant communication link between your Analog and Digital subsystems.The 25-pin D-sub connectors on the BO-16DX/IN employ TASCAM pin assignments that are compliant with AES59-2012.The BO-16DX/OUT is designed to mount in either of two 180-degree rotations to simplify cabling runs and avoid unneccessary twisting of D-Sub connector cables within the rack.Regardless direction of the unit, approximately half inch (13mm) of space is available above each connector, allowing easy access to a release lever of the XLR socket when stacked.The unit can be mounted in a rack facing forward or backward by changing the direction that the rack-mount ears are attached to it. The rackmount ears can also be removed when using the unit placed on a tabletop.Thanks to the compact size, including a depth of only 1.8″ (45mm) behind the rackmout ears, this breakout box can even be mounted in the back of a rack case. Mounting in the front of a rack case for use as a patch bay is also possible.Main Features:16 XLR output connectors on the front panelDual D-Sub input connectors compliant with AES59-2012 on the rear panelMultiple rackmounting optionsShort unit depth allows free layout in the rack1U Rackmount sizeRackmount screws includedSpecifications:Front Connectors: XLR 3-32 16 (1: GND, 2: HOT, 3: COLD)Rear Connectors: D-sub 25pin female 2Attachment screws: No.4-40 UNC 4 (inch-type)Dimensions (WHD): 19.0″ 1.7″ 2.0″ (482.6 44.1 51.5 mm)Weight: 1.99 lbs. / 0.9 kgIncluded items: Rackmount screw kit, Owner’s Manual (this document) including warranty
