ES881 form a range of rack-mount AES/EBU to EtherSound interfaces in a variety of I/O configurations that will connect any digital product to an EtherSound network. All devices offer sample rate converters on each input, as well as Word Clock input and output. In live applications, from touring to installed sound, these products provide the gateway from digital sources and destinations, such as processors, effects and digital mic preamplifiers, to the rest of the EtherSound network. The audio path thereby remains in the digital domain incurring minimal latency and minimal signal loss by avoiding D/A or A/D conversion. Bulky and unsightly cable runs are kept to a minimum as the traditional "snake" is replaced by a single Ethernet cable (CAT5, CAT6 or fiber optic) capable of transmitting and receiving up to 64 EtherSound channels.
