Portable Audio Player Interface Released
17 October, 2008
Madison Technologies has announced the release of the iFace, the latest addition to the popular ProCo Sound Trade Tools range. Designed to interface consumer grade audio players to professional sound systems, these units allow simple connection of the -10dbv signal from devices such as MP3 players, Apple iPods, laptop computers and consumer type CD / DVD players to the balanced microphone inputs of professional mixing consoles.
The iFace provides both a 3.5 mm (1/8") and recessed left/right RCA inputs for easy connection with standard patch cables and a stereo/mono switch to provide passive summing to a dual mono feed where required.
The outputs are isolated via audiophile-grade Pro Co MBT-1 Microphone Bridging Transformers and appear on standard 3-pin XLR male connectors. The transformers offer wide bandwidth and low distortion and phase shift, and are magnetically shielded in mu-metal cans and electrostatically isolated with dual Faraday shields. The result is near-ideal rejection of common-mode signals from all sources of RFI and EMI, including radio pickup, SCR dimmers and 60 Hz hum.
The ruggedly constructed Aluminium "Uni-Box" enclosure is formed of extruded aluminum side channels and 16-gauge steel top, bottom and end plates, designed to protect switches and connectors from accidental damage while also providing magnetic shielding for the circuitry. Industrial-grade connectors and switches provide trouble-free reliability even in abusive situations such as touring and rental.
Ideal for use by sound operators, presenters, ministers, P.A. installers and many others who may require having an MP3 player’s input feed a professional audio system, the iFace is a convenient way to run an audio signal from any portable audio device into a professional audio system.
