Osee AMS-160-A2 Audio Monitoring System
The AMS-160 (Audio Monitoring System) is a broadcast quality audio monitoring device
for embedded and analog audio. The compact size (1RU) and the loaded feature set have made the AMS-160 an indispensable tool for monitoring a wide assortment of embedded audio/analog audio signals in the broadcast, remote and post-production environments. The AMS-160 accepts both embedded and dual mono/stereo audio. A user selectable switch allows the operator to easily rotate through all the input sources. Four LEDs will indicate which input source is selected.
The output speakers allow the input source to be monitored more effectively, a headphonejack is provided on the front panel, usage automatically mutes the speakers. Both balance and volume controls are user definable. The audio output may also be muted.

Features

The AMS-160 features two 26-segment LED level meters showing simultaneous VU & PPMfor accurate level-metering. Extensive magnetic shielding allows placement immediately adjacent to video monitors with no color impurities.
