Angry Audio 991009 Failsafe Gadget - Silence Sensor and Audio Switcher

Banish Dead Air with Angry Audio Failsafe Gadget
Introducing the Angry Audio Failsafe Gadget, a broadcaster's ultimate safeguard against the dreaded dead air. This device is an essential tool for any broadcast studio, designed to handle off-air emergencies efficiently and effectively. With the Failsafe Gadget, you can say goodbye to those middle-of-the-night emergency trips to the studio.

Automatic Audio Source Switching for Continuous Broadcast
At its core, the Failsafe Gadget is a straightforward stereo A/B switch. Under normal conditions, it feeds the Main (A) source to the output. However, its sophisticated sensor continuously monitors the Main source for silence. If silence is detected, it automatically switches to the Backup (B) source, ensuring your broadcast continues uninterrupted. You have the option to set the gadget to either revert back to the Main source when audio returns or stay on the Backup until manually switched.

Customizable Silence Detection for Diverse Programming
The Failsafe Gadget is adaptable to various broadcasting styles. With its recessed rotary switches, you can set both the silence threshold and the duration before the sensor reacts. This flexibility allows you to tailor the gadget's response to your specific programming needs, ensuring that normal pauses or quiet segments don't trigger a false switch.

Versatile Connectivity and Control Options
Connecting the Failsafe Gadget is simple: link your studio to the Main input and the output to your transmission system. For the Backup source, you can use a range of audio players. The gadget also features a logic output to activate an alarm or device if silence is detected, and logic inputs for remote switching or resetting the gadget.

Reliable and Durable Design
The audio switching path in the Failsafe Gadget is completely passive, utilizing sealed relays with gold contacts for reliability. Housed in a powder-coated steel enclosure and featuring an internal power supply, this gadget is built to last. All components are premium-grade, ensuring performance and longevity. Plus, it's immune to RF interference, a hallmark of Angry Audio products.

Reverse Functionality for Automated Programming
The Failsafe Gadget can also be used in reverse. If you have a source that you want to automatically air whenever it's active, simply feed your regular programming into the B input and this source into the A input. Set the recovery switch and timer accordingly, and your regular programming will resume seamlessly when the source goes silent.
