Due to the nature of the products we sell, we operate a strict fraud screening process and therefore we are only able to deliver to the billing address.

In the event of a delay, we will contact you either by email or telephone as soon as reasonably possible.

While 99% of UK locations are valid for next day/Saturday delivery, there are a few remote locations which are not covered.

Synthax Audio (UK) cannot deliver outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland*.

*RME products cannot be shipped to the Republic of Ireland.

 

Missed Deliveries

If you are not in to receive the order at the time delivery is attempted, a card will normally be left to notify you of the missed delivery attempt. This will allow you to either telephone the courier company to arrange a re-delivery at a more convenient time or collect it from your local courier depot or Royal Mail sorting office. For security reasons, all items require a signature.

If for any reason the item is returned to us (e.g. incorrect address specified, multiple failed delivery attempts), then we will inform you immediately by email as soon as we receive the item. From this point forth, you will be given a choice whether you wish us to re-dispatch the item or cancel the order. Please refer to our Cancellations & 14 Day Returns Procedure for more details. For items where delivery failed through no fault of Synthax Audio (UK), you will be liable for the original shipping charge, any courier surcharges and any subsequent delivery charges.

 

Late Deliveries or Dispatch

We are able to ship almost every order in the specified timescale. However, in very rare circumstances there can be an unforeseen delay. If this does happen, we will make it our priority to get your order dispatched from our warehouse as soon as reasonably possible.

There are also rare cases, beyond our control, when the delivery company itself has a problem which causes a delay in transit. In these situations we will do our utmost to liaise with the relevant delivery company to ensure delivery is completed as swiftly as possible.

Consequential Loss for Late Deliveries

If a delivery is late, then we will provide a refund of any delivery fee that we charged you. We do not provide financial compensation to cover consequential losses, e.g. for time taken off work to receive a delivery, or if the item is intended as a gift and you have to purchase the same item from a more expensive retailer.

AES50 to anything. Anything to AES50.

Compact digital audio format converter

Convert between AES50 and another format of your choosing (via an optional AUX card - sold separately)

Can also be used with a second Flexiverter for additional format conversion options, or as an extension to the Appsys Multiverter

Note: This page is for the base FLX-AES50 Flexiverter unit only.

AUX cards are sold separately.


Description

SERIES

Multi-format. Highly Affordable. Most flexible.

 

Ultra-compact converters
+ Switchable format boards

The Appsys ProAudio Flexiverter is an ultra-compact box for converting between any of the most common digital audio formats (Standalone), or for adding additional I/O to the Appsys Multiverter (Extension).

Two Flexiverters can also be used together (Dual Mode), allowing users to create a custom device to perfectly suit their digital format conversion needs.

Each Flexiverter comes with a main format as standard, with a second slot for adding an additional interface via a range of switchable AUX boards, for converting between two different formats, or for expanding the I/O of the main format.

The Appsys Flexiverter range opens up a world of possibilities for conversion between the most common formats, as well as unique pairings and combinations (e. g. AES50 <> Dante, Dante <> Dante SRC, Dante <> AVB).

For other base unit options, see the full range of Appsys Flexiverters here.

 

 

Appsys Flexiverter (FLX-AES50)

The FLX-AES50 is a base Flexiverter with 96 x 96 channels of AES50 on 2 x ethernet connections.

A second Aux Card can be added for standalone format conversion between AES50 and any of the formats listed below.

Alternatively, the FLX-AES50 can be used to add additional I/O to an Appsys Multiverter, or in combination with a second Flexiverter (for conversion between up to four different digital audio formats - see the "How It Works" section below).

 

Features

  • 96 x 96 channels of AES50 (or 192 x 192 with AES50 AUX Card installed)
  • AUX port for connecting any of the optional AUX Cards as conversion source/destination
  • Two AES50 ports compatible to Behringer™ and MIDAS™ equipment
  • Supports sample rates: 44.1/48/88.2/96kHz
  • Forwarding of remote control (auxiliary) data between AES50 ports to split/merge audio while maintaining HA control
  • AES50 Extender: AES50-over-fiber (with AUX-MADI-SFP card as DN9620 replacement) / AES50-over-Dante / AES50-over-anything with full headamp control.
    This works by passing control data as normal audio on ch57-64 to a peer FLX-AES50, or Multiverter, using the media of your choice.
  • FlexLink port for lowest latency, bi-directional transfer of 192 channels audio, clock and power
  • Dual (Redundant) Power Supplies

Additional features when connected to an Appsys Multiverter:

  • True channel-wise routing of all available channels (built-in plus AUX card)
  • Sample-rate conversion using the SRC-64
  • Web- or telnet based Remote Control
  • Triple-redundant power supply (2 x DC; 1 x via FlexLink)

 

Combinations

Combine the FLEX-AES50 with any of the following formats into one 9.5 inch Flexiverter box:

  • Dante (with or without SRC)

  • AVB

  • ADAT

  • MADI (Optical, Coaxial, Twisted Pair)

  • AES-3 (with or without SRC)

  • AES50

  • AES67

  • WordClock

  • TDM

  • SDI 12G

  • HDMI

  • Analogue Outputs

How it works

The Appsys Flexiverter can be used in one of 3 ways: Standalone, Dual Mode, or as a Multiverter Extension.

1

Standalone
A single Flexiverter with optional Aux card installed
Insert and switch any AUX board in every main FLX unit and create the converter of your choice.

Stand Alone Setup

2

Dual Mode: Two Flexiverters
A 1-to-1 converter with extra channels

Convert up to 4 formats with one pairing (Signal splitting to AUX or FlexLink).

Dual Setup

3

Multiverter Extension

Connect one flexiverter via FlexLink to the multiverter MVR-64 to add an additional format conversion, SRC, or more channels.

Multiverter Setup

 

THE BACK PANEL: MOST FLEXIBLE

The main format I/O section on every FLX unit is different, the rest of the back panel is identical.

 

The FlexLink connection

The FlexLink connection is designed to connect two Flexiverters, or one Flexiverter with the Multiverter. It provides:

  • 192 x 192 channels bi-directional transmission of 24-bit uncompressed audio (fully transparent to AES3 compatible metadata bits)
  • Super-low link latency of 4 samples (ca. 83μs)
  • Dedicated, high-quality reference clock signal with automatic configuration
  • Power supply for connected devices (to reduce cabling), alternatively serves as redundancy scheme when both devices are powered: in case of power failure, both devices keep working from the remaining power supply.
  • Uses standard HDMI cables (with locking screws), to provide easy field replacement in case of defects.
Dual Setup

Rackmounts

The following rackmount kits are available as optional extras:

RM-FLX1
Rackmount kit for mounting a single FLX device in 1U
RM-FLX2
Rackmount kit for mounting two FLX devices in 1U
