Regarding Audio Signals 

Although the Octalink 1U is perfectly capable of transmitting audio signals, keep in mind that it’s a

passive system. As such, you may hear a slight increase in an audio signal’s noise floor under

certain conditions.

Should you wish to transmit

audio (rather than control

voltages) over the

Octalink 1U, we recommend

first patching the audio signal

into a buffered multiple (such

as Intellijel’s 3U Buff Mult or

Buff Mult 1U modules), and

then into the Octalink 1U. This

will assure the cleanest

possible noise floor.

In the example shown here,

note that audio from the

Dixie

in Case 1 is being

processed by the Polaris filter

in Case 2. (See the BLUE

patch cables). Because the

output of the Dixie

is an

audio signal, we have chosen

to first patch it through a Buff Mult on its way into the CASE 1 Octalink.
