THE APG 20 (PZA)

RCA Active Audio Transceivers

The APG20 MK2 is an audio receiver that converts audio signals transmitted over the data bus into standard line and microphone level signals. The APG20's audio output can be fed to regular inputs on audio amplifiers, preamplifiers, mixers, or many more. In combination with the corresponding input modules (WLI and WMI), it offers a solution for two-channel audio transmission (line and microphone) covering distances of up to 300 meters over standard UTP CAT5E (or higher) cabling. Distances of up to 600 meters can be achieved by applying additional power supplies. Due to the differential bus input with higher voltage levels, received signals are insensitive to noise, interference and attenuation over long transmission distances. 

This offers the right solution for high-quality audio transmissions in long-distance applications while maintaining high-quality audio reproduction. The bus input carrying both audio channels, an RS-485 data channel and 24 volt distribution to the transmitter end is implemented using an RJ45 connector. Audio outputs are via dual RCA (line) and female XLR (microphone) connections. The XLR output is accompanied by a switch that allows you to select between an output level of -40 dB and 0 dB. 

Signals carried on the RS-485 data bus pair are linked to an RJ45 output connection, allowing daisy-chaining to controlled equipment.
