SSL Alpha-Link Live & Alpha-Link 8-RMP

Alpha-Link Live


Scalable Private IO, pure and simple
Alpha-Link Live & Alpha-Link 8-RMP provide a simple, scalable IO solution for C10 HD at low cost.

Alpha-Link Live
Each Alpha-Link Live unit provides 24 balanced analogue lines (with high quality 24 bit analogue conversion) and 12 AES pairs (with eight channels of high quality 24 bit sample rate conversion). Alpha-Link Live is connected to the console using MADI over fibre-optics, ensuring absolute signal purity. Alpha-Link Live includes dual redundant PSUs, all fitted into a compact 2U rack.

  • MADI I/O locked to C10 HD's highly stable clock
  • 24 balanced Analogue I/O
  • 12 Pairs of AES Digital I/O
  • Fibre-optic MADI guarantees pristine audio
  • Embedded control data simplifies cabling and operation
  • Analogue input/output metering via 24 tricolour LEDs
  • Compact 2U Rack enclosure
  • Dual redundant PSUs as standard

Alpha-Link 8-RMP
The Alpha-Link 8-RMP features eight high-quality analogue mic pre-amplifiers, controlled remotely from the C10 HD control surface. The 8-RMP connects to the console via the Alpha-Link Live’s balanced analogue inputs, allowing three 8-RMP modules to be connected to each Alpha-Link Live module. Each 8-RMP module is housed in a matching 2U rack, and also includes dual redundant PSUs as standard.

  • 8 high quality microphone pre-amplifiers
  • Connects via Alpha-Link Live analogue I/O via D-Sub
  • Connects to Alpha-Link Live data bus via proprietary cable (RJ45)
  • Connect up to 3 Alpha-Link 8RMP units to a single Alpha-Link Live
  • Compact 2U Rack enclosure
  • Dual redundant PSUs as standard

Alpha-Link Live – Stand-Alone
Alpha-Link Live can also be used as a stand-alone format converter for a wide range of applications. In stand-alone mode all input and output channels can be used simultaneously in any configuration. When used as a stand-alone converter the front panel controls for Alpha-Link Live are used for format conversion configuration.
