The digital audio transmission system
(Digital Snake) shall consist of at least two
modules. The  rst (Stage Module) shall
have 16 XLR inputs and 8 XLR outputs. The
second (FOH) Module shall have 16 XLR
outputs and 8 XLR inputs. The transmission
cable between the Stage Module and the
FOH Module shall be a Cat5e or Cat6 cable.
The inputs shall be of very high quality
and accept both line and microphone level
inputs with individually selectable phantom
power. The input gains or trims for the
inputs as well as their individually selectable
phantom power settings shall be remotely
controllable from the Stage or FOH Module
using either a hardware remote control
unit or a computer. The gain level shall be
controllable in 1 dB steps from microphone
level to line level. The system shall also
offer at least 10 preset memories of
different con gurations of the input gain and
phantom power settings.
The audio protocol shall have a 96 kHz
sampling rate, deliver 24-bit audio, and have
a protocol latency of 375 microseconds from
the stage unit to the FOH unit. The Input
Module shall allow the user to duplicate or
“split” the input sources to several Output
Modules using a fast gigabit Ethernet
switching hub.
The system shall be the S-1608 Digital
Snake System.

*1: When a REAC Splitter S-4000-SP or a switching hub is used in-line with REAC cables, the network latency will increase by the
amount of processing delay introduced by the splitting device itself. The actual delay is dependant upon the specifications of the
splitting device.
