    Sonifex RB-DS2 – Silence Detection Switcher with Alarm Outputs

    The Sonifex RB-DS2 is a high-performance stereo silence detection unit designed to monitor audio signals and trigger alarms or automatic switching when silence is detected. Perfect for broadcast chains, radio studios, and playout facilities, it ensures continuous audio output and rapid response to signal loss.

    Equipped with dual balanced XLR inputs and outputs, configurable thresholds, delay settings, and remote control capabilities, the RB-DS2 provides robust silence detection and switchover functionality—giving engineers confidence in uninterrupted on-air performance.

    ✅ Key Features

    • ✅ Dual stereo balanced analogue audio inputs and outputs

    • ✅ User-definable silence threshold and detection time

    • ✅ Auto-switching to secondary input or tone source on silence

    • ✅ Front panel LEDs for visual status indication

    • ✅ Relay outputs for external alarms or switching control

    • ✅ RS232 remote interface for system integration

    • ✅ Simple configuration via DIP switches or PC software

    • ✅ 1U rackmount design suitable for professional environments
