Audio Routing Systems

The DRS Family of audio routing switchers lets you mix digital and analog audio within a single frame. This powerful system approach is based on a flexible 1RU distributed architecture providing rugged reliability in an affordable, feature-rich package.

With the DRS, we have incorporated our familiar enterprise switch design into our compact and large scale analog and digital switching systems. With PESA routers, you’ll find the most advanced hardware and software control systems available to the broadcast or professional markets. DRS is an ideal solution for mobile production and broadcast facilities using current audio and video formats while providing future flexibility to handle tomorrow’s transition into the digital routing world.
