The RB-DDA6A-2P digital distribution amplifier was designed to distributing digital audio data in AES/EBU format, repeating both the audio data and the status information of the input whilst re-normalising to standard digital audio levels.

It features a single XLR-3 female AES/EBU audio input which is distributed to 6 XLR-3 male AES/EBU outputs, and it can accept input sample rates in the range of 30kHz – 100kHz, and bit rates of 16, 20 and 24 bit, thus allowing it to be used for standard CD signal distribution at 16 bit 44.1kHz and 24 bit 96kHz recording.

Redundancy protection is provided via two power supply units that can be supplied from separate mains feeds. It automatically load shares between the two supplies for failsafe redundancy. If both supplies fail the input is connected directly to output 1. The condition of the two supplies is indicated on the front panel by two red LEDs.
