FiberPlex introduces the LightViper™ fiber optic audio distribution system
- LightViper™ (Model VIS-1832) fiber optic “audio snake” is state-of-the-art technology solution for difficult fixed installation and touring sound audio applications
- LightViper features breakthrough digital audio data communications technology at affordable system pricing
February 10, 2004, NSCA Convention, Las Vegas, NV – FiberPlex, Inc, a 17 year old world leader in fiber optic data communications for the U.S. government, is pleased to announce their LightViper™ VIS-1832 fiber optic pro-audio solution for state-of-the-art digital data communications.
The LightViper VIS-1832 consists of a “traditional” 32 X 8 audio input Stage Box (in compact size and form for touring sound system applications) and a complementary 1U rack unit (Model VIM-1832) installed at the main house audio mixing position. Connecting these two components is accomplished with a rugged and extremely lightweight military specification fiber optic cable weighing less than two (2) pounds per one hundred feet of cable run (100’).
LightViper’s fiber optic cable offers total signal path isolation between both stage and mixer as well as between the mixer and power amplification; the cable is totally immune to ground loops, RFI, EMI and electromechanical noise and runs of up to 1 1/4 miles (6,600 feet) can be easily accomplished without signal loss or degradation.
The inputs on the audio input stage box will accept balanced or unbalanced XLR or TRS mic or line level audio and eliminates the need for expensive DI boxes. Remote-switching for industry standard 48-volt Phantom power is supplied to all audio mic inputs. Optional optical outputs on the Stage unit allow for a separate stage monitor feed as well as a third for sending the audio data signal to a remote broadcast or recording vehicle.
Pristine-quality audio A/D converters are built-in to the LightViper and operate at 24-bit/96kHz sampling and then the resulting multiplexed digital signal is transmitted via the optic cable on a single fiber pair.
FiberPlex includes a lifetime limited warranty with all VIS-1832 system hardware components.
The suggested Professional Audio user price for a typical LightViper VIS-1832 configuration is $7,026; this includes all components (one Stage unit/VIS-1832, one mix position rack unit (VIM-1832), all cable terminations with 300 feet of fiber optic cable, four send and one return breakout cables.
The FiberPlex LightViper™ will be demonstrated in booth #1645 at the National Sound Contractor’s Association (NSCA) Convention in Las Vegas, NV March 19-21.
