ARX Intros Remote Switcher for EWIS, Console Switching or Broadcast Applications

ARX Systems’ Remote Switcher is designed to externally control a stereo input signal switcher for use in EWIS (Emergency Warning and Intercommunications System) emergency announcements, console switching and remote control of signal sources in broadcast applications.

Other applications include remote switching between FOH or Monitor Consoles, Main and DJ consoles when one main loudspeaker system is being used, and also remote broadcast signal source and transmitter switching. The Remote Switcher silently switches between two pairs of A or B female XLR inputs to a stereo pair of XLR male output connectors. ARX ‘SoftSwitch’ technology achieves this with no loud bangs through the audio system when switching.

Input Channel control can be selected in two ways. Mode 1 by remote switch / relay closure (using an external power pack / wall wart), or Mode 2 by 12 – 24VDC supplied from an EWIS panel or similar.

Here are the details.
