Optical Audio Productions has recently taken delivery of a fully optioned Yamaha digital multicore to utilise with our M7CL 48 and DM1000 consoles.

Comprising of 48 channels from stage and 24 returns the system has revolutionised our approach to signal transfer and physical time required to bump in a production.

Recently utilised on projects including Spiderbait, Little Red, Weddings Parties Anything and TZU at the Yea Festival and touring in Tasmania with Big hART’s production of 'This is Living' part of the Ten Days on the island Festival.

The system is fully compatible with the Yamaha M7CL, LS9, DM1000 and DM2000 consoles and is available for hire.

Various lengths of CAT5E high grade black cable terminated with Neutrik Ethercon connectors.

The SB168-ES is an affordable 3U-size stage box that utilizes EtherSound technology to propagate digital sound signals.

When connected to popular all-in-one digital consoles like the PM5D, LS9, or M7CL, the SB168-ES offers superb support for live sound. 16 channels of sonically-superb remote analogue input — each with its own head amp — combine with 8 channels of analogue output to let you chain multiple units in sequence for simultaneous use.

The SB168-ES also functions as both as a conventional EtherSound device — an analogue input-output box. Compared to a conventional analogue console + analogue multicore the SB168-ES is noise resistant, and lets you boost quality by keeping the length of microphone cables as short as possible. Even more, the SB168-ES is easy to set up, so that any time, effort, or money needed for equipment installation are significantly reduced.
