Tascam BO-16DX-OUT 

BO-16DX/OUT is a versatile breakout box that provides up to 32 balanced analogue audio inputs/outputs for audio devices equipped with D-sub audio inputs/outputs like the Tascam ML-16D/ML-32D or older multi-track recorders like the Tascam DA-98HR or DA-78HR, for example. It can also be used with any other product fitted with D-sub connectors compatible with standard Tascam pin assignment according to AES59-2012.

Features rugged, 1U rack-mountable metal chassis with invertible and removable rackmount ears and lettering that can also be read when mounted upside-down.

16 balanced audio outputs on XLR connectors for devices equipped with DB-25 connectors

In combination with a BO-16DX/IN output breakout box from the same series, you can use the BO-16DX/OUT to convert from D-sub to easy-to-use XLR inputs and outputs. The BO-16DX/OUT provides 16 XLR male connectors wired to two DB-25 connectors (eight channels each). This allows you not only to connect all 16 channels to one device, but also to use eight channels each with two different devices.

Connection example with a Tascam ML-32D:

Standard Tascam pin assignment (AES59-2012)

The Tascam BO-16DX/OUT uses two DB-25 connectors for balanced connections with the main audio device. Tascam standard pin assignment, which is compliant with AES59-2012, ensures this breakout box can not only be used with Tascam products but also with any other audio device that meets this standard.

Rackmount ears can be removed or reverted

The BO-16DX/OUT breakout box can be mounted very flexibly by changing the direction that the rackmount ears are attached to it. You can also entirely remove the rackmount ears when using the unit placed on a tabletop.

Can be mounted in the front or rear of a 19-inch rack case

Thanks to its compact size, including a depth of only 45 mm, this breakout box can even be mounted in the back of a rack case allowing for compact installations with very short cable runs.

Flexible panel lettering with space for labelling

The BO-16DX/OUT provides space above the connectors for labelling, for example, your cable routing. Panel lettering also supports upside-down use so you can mount this breakout box just the way you need it.
