Channels:20
A Press Patch Box is a special audio signal distributor designed for the specific requirements of a press conference. Separate inputs allow for the connection of either a microphone or line signal (mixer output).
Also available in a stereo version (PPB20S)A high-quality input amplifier with a balanced, floating input allows for level adjustment over a wide range. 20 transformer-balanced XLR/male connectors with individually controlled driver circuitry are available as outputs for video cameras or other audio recording devices.
The nominal output level is +4 dBu at 600 ohms.
Additionally, channels 19 and 20 are equipped with TRS jack sockets for balanced or unbalanced signals and RCA jacks (-10 dBu nominal level). If more than 20 outputs are required, further PPB20 units can be cascaded via a rear BUS IN/OUT socket. Signal monitoring is provided by a 10-LED chain (display range -40 to +10 dB, 0 dB reading corresponds to +4 dBu output) and an adjustable headphone amplifier. The PPB20 has a built-in shielded power supply. An additional DC input allows for battery operation or emergency power supply. The PW4 is a suitable emergency power supply for two PPB20 units.
