ESE ES218 Audio Distribution Amplifier
The ESE ES-218 is a compact 1x4 audio distribution amplifier that accepts a balanced or unbalanced audio signal and produces four exact, isolated copies of it. A transformerless design keeps the signal clean, and recessed gain controls set output level with a variable master gain that reaches up to +20 dB. The 600-ohm outputs and quiet gain stage make it equally at home distributing program audio or a SMPTE and IRIG time code feed.
Connections are made on terminal blocks in the standard version, with an optional XLR-connector variant for facilities that prefer a patch-friendly front. The standard unit runs on 110-120 VAC, and 220-240 VAC and UL options are available for international and code-compliant installs.
