1. OVERVIEW
The 400FR is designed for those applications requiring high density distribution and processing of
balanced analog and digital audio signals.
The 3RU multiframe chassis supports a wide variety of modules within a 3RU footprint. The frame offers
dual hot swappable power supplies and provides sixteen slots for 400 series audio modules. Each 400
series processing module is also hot swappable and mates to the rear plane of the 400 frame which is
completely passive. The design approach eliminates the need to de-cable the frame in the event of an
electronics replacement. Each slot of the 400FR provides ten high-quality 3-pin terminal strip connectors
that are used to interface to the processing module.
Features:
Dual hot swappable power supplies with integrated cooling
Houses up to sixteen 400 series processing modules
Each processing slot provides individually configurable inputs and outputs
Monitoring window for verifying module and power supply status
No re-cabling required when hot swapping processing modules
