Sonifex EXP-AI8

This expansion module provides eight channels of high-quality analogue audio input via a single 25-pin D-type connector, using the AES-59 standard pinout for straightforward integration with professional audio systems. A second 25-pin D-type socket offers loop-through outputs for all channels, allowing the incoming signals to be passed on to additional equipment without the need for external distribution hardware.

Once installed, all eight analogue inputs are automatically made available within the unit’s internal routing grid, accessible via the integrated web server. This enables flexible assignment and control of audio sources, making it easy to incorporate external analogue signals into your monitoring or processing workflow.

The module can be supplied factory-fitted or retrofitted in the field, with a disassembly and reassembly process. It connects directly to the main board using the supplied 4-pin power cable and 30-pin FFC audio/control cable, ensuring a secure and reliable connection. This card offers a simple way to extend system capability while maintaining clean signal paths and professional connectivity standards.
