Switch Back PLUS

Dante audio interface, mixer, and MIDI control in one compact device, the Switch Back PLUS condenses functions into a single, unique tool. Connect via Cat6 cable to a PoE+ network switch, plug in your headphones/speakers, route channels, and start making music. Mixer: Control volume, panning, and stereo width of 64 Dante audio channels, with channel names on crisp OLED displays. Local inputs mix in at zero-latency. The mix is fed through a master volume control and output to a balanced stereo pair and two headphone jacks. Interface: Local inputs include XLR microphone input with switchable phantom power, high-impedance instrument input with adjustable gain, and two balanced line-level inputs. Route these and the main stereo mix to other devices on the Dante network. Unmuting four default-muted Dante channels provides intercom. MIDI control: MIDI shares the same network connection as Dante to send/receive CCs. Knobs can control software and external hardware.

Hear Technologies – Switch Back M8RX

With intuitive design and robust capabilities, the Switch Back M8RX™ is actually two products in one. This gives the musician a choice to play live, record, or monitor their mix all in one single tool. With intuitive design and robust capabilities, the Switch Back M8RX™ is actually two products in one. This gives the musician a choice to play live, record, or monitor their mix all in one single tool. The M8RX is a personal interface to be used for live sound or recording, and also a multi-channel headphone monitoring system. While compact in size, the M8RX gives individuals options to use it in multiple ways, such as a mini recording studio setup or a simple communication system. The research and design of the M8RX is what sets it apart. Our engineers created the sleek look and feel making it perfect for hanging from a belt, mounting on a mic stand, or sitting on a table. The M8RX features a total of eight channels of audio mixing – two studio-quality microphone preamps, two channel line-inputs, and four Dante network audio inputs/outputs. The M8RX’s two mic preamps have a distortion spec below 0.001% along with zero-latency analog mixing and monitoring of the four analog inputs. With Ethernet capability becoming standard in most pro audio gear today, the M8RX includes a total of four channels of Dante network audio inputs/outputs. Along with the same high quality headphone amplifier as in the Hear Back PRO and OCTO systems, the M8RX has 5 watts of headphone power and can be connected to a computer via the Ethernet port. The unit uses PoE power over the same Cat5e cable as the Ethernet. The M8RX is manufactured in the U.S. to ensure our customers get the quality they have come to expect from Hear Technologies.

Hear Technologies – hear back PRO hub

With this system, there is no learning curve. Whether or not you’ve ever used a personal monitor mixer, the simple layout of this powerful system makes getting the right mix a quick and effortless experience. Based in Gigabit Ethernet, this framework paves the way for an impressive range of future possibilities. With this system, there is no learning curve. Whether or not you’ve ever used a personal monitor mixer, the simple layout of this powerful system makes getting the right mix a quick and effortless experience. Based in Gigabit Ethernet, this framework paves the way for an impressive range of future possibilities. The modular Hub consists of four card slots, which can be populated with any configuration of input and/or output cards to fit your exact needs. Each Hub has the ability to supply signal and power to as many as 32 Mixers (8 per Network Card), each over a single standard CAT5e/6 cable. And with the built-in HBus In/Out ports, multiple Hubs can be daisy-chained together, allowing for truly unlimited system expansion. The standard Hub (included in the “4-pack”) comes pre-loaded with one Network Card and two 8-channel Analog Input Cards which can accept input signals from an audio mixer via auxiliary, matrix, monitor, and/or direct outputs. The Hear Back PRO system consists of two main components: the Hub and the Mixer. The Hear Back PRO boasts many key advantages, including:
  • Side-mounted card slot on Mixer for future expansion
  • Large master knob controls overall main mix, AUX, and intercom levels independently
  • Volume and panning control of all
  • 16 channels
  • Direct and immediate visual feedback of all 16 channels
  • Up to 8 pairs of stereo-linked channels
  • Support for sampling rates up to 192 kHz
  • Selectable XLR or 1/8” Mixer AUX input
  • Built-in intercom broadcasts the AUX source (mic, MP3 player, click, etc.)
  • Intercom auto adjusts its own level so even the quietest message never goes unheard
  • Modular I/O Hub card system lets you customize the system to match your configuration, and can adapt to your needs
  • Supports secondary power supply to provide redundancy and power to up to
  • 32 Mixers
  • USB port on Hub makes updating firmware for future features and upgrades a simple drag-and-drop operation
  • Status indicating logos on Hub and Mixers make it easy to detect and diagnose problems, should they arise
  • Write session info and channel settings on storable Mixer overlays for an unlimited number of presets
    • Instantly store and recall presets from memory with the push of a button
    • Most recent configuration is saved, even after power-down
