BDI ATB-300-9 Audio Toolbox

Versatile Rack-Mounted Audio Switching and Distribution System
The Broadcast Devices ATB-300-9 Audio Tool Box is a professional audio switching and distribution system designed for seamless integration of AES3 and analog signals. With flexible input and output configurations, this unit provides a reliable solution for managing digital and analog audio in broadcast studios, live production, and automation environments. Featuring programmable silence detection, priority-based switching, and remote control options, the ATB-300-9 ensures consistent, high-quality audio performance in demanding applications.

Flexible Input and Output Configuration for Maximum Compatibility
The ATB-300-9 supports up to eight inputs and outputs, configurable as all analog, all AES3 digital, or a mix of both. This flexibility makes it a valuable tool for facilities managing diverse audio formats. Whether distributing audio across multiple sources or routing signals between digital and analog systems, the ATB-300-9 provides seamless and reliable signal management without degradation.

Automatic Silence Detection and Failover Protection
Designed for professional broadcasting and live production, the ATB-300-9 includes a programmable silence detection system. Users can define silence thresholds, time delays, and auto-revert timing through the front panel interface. In the event of a signal drop, the unit can automatically switch to a backup channel, preventing audio loss and maintaining uninterrupted operation.

Seamless and Glitch-Free Audio Switching
Broadcast Devices’ synchronous AES3 switching technology eliminates glitches and artifacts when transitioning between sources. This ensures smooth, professional-grade switching with no audible interruptions. Additionally, sample rate conversion on every AES3 input guarantees compatibility across multiple digital audio formats, reducing the need for additional external processors.

Intuitive Control with Front Panel and Remote Access
The ATB-300-9 offers multiple control options, including front-panel operation, GPIO remote control, and Ethernet connectivity. With SNMPv2 and the BDI Stack Graphical User Interface (GUI) available for Windows and Android, users can easily manage routing, name inputs and outputs, and adjust settings remotely. This remote access capability streamlines workflow and enhances operational efficiency in complex audio environments.

Reliable Integration with Automation Systems
For facilities requiring automation, the ATB-300-9 is compatible with RS232/485 control interfaces, making it easy to integrate with existing broadcast and production automation systems. The Tascam™ Standard Interface further expands connectivity options, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of professional audio equipment.
