Sanity check requested please! I’m in the process of finalizing the structured cabling for a new house that we expect to move in to late Q1 next year.
One of the things I’m wrestling with is how to integrate multiple SB3s into the system. I’ve pretty much decided to go with Cat 5e/6 cabling throughout, including all video and audio streams. For each SB, I am contemplating contructing a shoebox-sized enclosure that will be set into the wall. Coming into the rear will be two Cat 5e cables plus a power feed. One of the Cat5e cables will c onnect to the SS machine, the other will carry the audio back to the matrix switch, and hence via an amp to the speakers. The two items I’m having trouble finding a solution for: (a) Ideally I would like to dispense with the wall wart and a 110V feed in place of a dc feed from the wiring closet. I’d like to know if anyone has done anything similar and can share advice/experience on that. (b) Second, I’d like to use the digital output from the SB, and connect via an audio balun to a digital amp in the wiring closet. However I’ve been unable to locate reasonably priced amps with digital input, of which I’ll need at least five probably six. Can anyone provide suggestions on this as well? Something like the 'Flying Mole Cascade' (http://www.flyingmoleelectronics.com/products/cascadeseries.html) modular power amp system would be an ideal solution but it only takes analog inputs. Thanks in advance. -- FPP ------------------------------------------------------------------------ FPP's Profile: http://forums.slimdevices.com/member.php?userid=2770 View this thread: http://forums.slimdevices.com/showthread.php?t=26210 _______________________________________________ discuss mailing list discuss@lists.slimdevices.com http://lists.slimdevices.com/lists/listinfo/discuss
