Digital Audio Receiver

Overview

Tiernan’s ABR202A digital audio receiver is your solution for broadcasting audio by satellite. Applications include radio program and news distribution, point-of-purchase audio with advertising insertion, and data broadcast distribution.  Compared to the ABR202, the ABR202A saves rack space by utilizing a 1RU Chassis, provides additional convenience with front panel and Telnet capability. CD-quality audio, RS-232 or RS-422 asynchronous data, receiver control signals, and cue signals (relay closures) are standard features on the ABR202A.
