AudioControl has introduced the BLX-1K bidirectional signal extender that sends and receives a fully balanced, analog audio signal up to 1,000 feet over standard Ethernet cable. The BLX-1K provides professional AV installers with a premium, bidirectional signal-extending solution that is designed for projects with considerable distance between devices. Designed to be used in pairs at both ends of the signal path, each BLX-1K contains a 2-channel receive stage as well as a two-channel transmit stage, enabling content to travel in both directions across a span of Ethernet cable. The BLX-1K comes equipped with an external power supply for easy connection and ultra-quiet performance. Delivering a stout output of nearly 8-Volts RMS, the BLX-1K rejects noise, providing a pure, crystal-clear audio signal over long Ethernet runs — the ultimate problem-solver for AV installers.

The AudioControl BLX-1K has a price of $180 and is shipping to dealers now.
