The Avid VENUE DSO-192 is an official OEM, high-resolution digital output expansion card designed for modular Avid VENUE stage racks. Operating as a highly versatile digital interface module within the S6L system ecosystem, the DSO-192 card adds eight channels of premium digital audio outputs to accommodate professional multi-format routing simultaneously.

Engineered for seamless digital integration in demanding live sound and broadcast capture, this unique dual-routing framework transmits pristine 24-bit audio to both professional balanced wire and optical transmission lines at the same time. This parallel architecture offers maximum deployment flexibility when splitting high-fidelity feeds to external digital mixing systems, remote recording rigs, or digital system loudspeaker processors.

Key Features

• Parallel Dual-Format Output: Routes 8 pristine digital output channels simultaneously to both its physical four two-channel AES/EBU XLR3-male connectors and its single 8-channel ADAT TOSLINK optical connection.
• Simultaneous Mirroring Broadcast: Transmit independent, low-latency audio mirroring to the AES/EBU lines and the optical connection at the exact same time.
• Downstream Speaker Protection: Outfitted with a built-in automatic output muting circuit that safely blocks voltage pops during console power cycles, shielding downstream amplifiers and PA speaker arrays.
• Real-Time Visual Fault Monitoring: Hardware faceplate modules contain dedicated Signal Present (green) and Mute (red) status LEDs for every discrete AES/EBU channel pair to ensure rapid field troubleshooting.
• High-Density Chassis Scaling: Up to six individual DSO-192 cards can be installed simultaneously inside a single stage chassis to expand system digital matrix capabilities up to 48 total digital outputs.
• Mastering-Grade Fidelity: Delivers uncompromised 24-bit digital audio resolution to ensure absolute data transparency and tight phase coherence under heavy system loads.

System Compatibility Note: The Avid DSO-192 card is a specialized internal hardware expansion module. It is strictly compatible with the Avid VENUE Stage 64 and Stage 32 remote I/O rack chassis frameworks (each sold separately). It cannot be installed directly into E6L/E6LX processing engines or S6L control surface local-I/O frames.
