Fostex Delivers the World's First Affordable, Easy-to-Use Digital Patchbay

The Fostex DP-8 Digital Audio Patchbay works with all major digital formats and allows for simple, reliable expansion and interfacing of digital audio recording editing and mixing systems.

January 29, 1998 -- Providing the home and commercial studio market with precisely the right product at precisely the right time and price, Fostex Corporation of America today announced the introduction of the Fostex DP-8 Digital Audio Patchbay. The DP-8 addresses the increasingly complex interfaces between digital audio recording, editing and mixing systems by providing users with a very user-friendly, cost-effective digital patchbay.

The Fostex DP-8 offers six optical I/Os, which can accommodate Alesis ADAT(R) and related systems, such as the Fostex D-80, D-90 and D-160, and any S/P DIF formatted system. There are also two coaxial I/Os (S/P DIF). Using a rotary control for each input, users can route digital signals freely and easily and with a high degree of signal integrity. Inside the Fostex DP-8, each input signal is wave-reshaped at a sampling frequency up to 48 kHz output to each channel. Thus, any S/P DIF signal can be converted from optical to coaxial or from coaxial to optical. For fast, temporary patches, the DP-8 is also fitted with a convenient front-panel optical I/O.

"The quality of the Fostex DP-8 is everything you'd expect from Fostex," said Phil Celia, Fostex Corporation of America Director of Sales. "As is the retail price $359.00, which is lower than any other competing system. The Fostex DP-8 was designed to help studios of all types and levels have easier access to digital signal routing at an affordable price, and that's exactly what it delivers."
