Whirlwind's Digital Modules and Interface Units



CI8M



The CI8M is a standalone, 8 channel CobraNet mic/line input module. Use this sonically superior input module to convert 8 channels of microphone or line level analog audio into professional quality digital audio for distribution over a CobraNet network. The studio quality specs of the CI8M's mic preamps guarantee world class performance.

Level controls, a peak limiter and metering are conveniently located on the front panel along with switches to apply phantom power. No computer is required, setup and operation are simple and easy. Just set the bundle select wheels to the desired bundle number, and set the bit width/latency selector to match that of the receiving device and adjust the input level as neccessary.

PXP
Protocol eXchange Platform

"Choose the right tools for the job instead of being bound to a single protocol . . ."

The Whirlwind PXP allows you to convert digital audio to and from the major transport protocols on your digital audio network.

For example, design CobraNet or Ethersound for your main system but convert to A-NET Pro16 for a headphone monitoring network.

Or use Ethersound for a straight stage to FOH run and convert to CobraNet to network through your facility.

Setting up a Yamaha digital console for a single protocol saves slot spaces while the PXP handles conversions where needed.

Available PXP models:
INPUT OUTPUT
CobraNet (16 Ch) CobraNet (32 Ch) Aviom Ethersound Dante MADI
CobraNet (16 Ch) -------- -------- PXP-CA PXP-CE PXP-CD PXP-CM
CobraNet (32 Ch) -------- -------- -------- PXP-CE32 PXP-CD32 PXP-CM32
Ethersound PXP-CE PXP-CE32 PXP-EA -------- PXP-DE PXP-EM
Dante PXP-CD PXP-CD32 PXP-DA PXP-DE -------- PXP-DM
MADI PXP-CM PXP-CM32 PXP-MA PXP-EM PXP-DM --------
