FiberPlex Introduces the Light Viper™
Fiber Optic Audio Distribution System— Light Viper™ (Model VIS-1832) fiber optic “audio snake” is state-of-the-art technology solution for difficult fixed installation and touring sound audio applications —
— Light Viper features breakthrough digital audio data communications technology
at affordable system pricing —
NSCA EXPO, LAS VEGAS, NV, March 19, 2004 — FiberPlex, Inc., a 17-year-old world
leader in fiber optic data communications for the U.S. government, is pleased to announce
its Light Viper™ VIS-1832 fiber optic pro audio solution for state-of-the-art digital data communications.The Light Viper VIS-1832 consists of a “traditional” 32 X 8 audio input Stage Box (in compact size and form for touring sound system applications) and a complementary 1U rack unit
(Model VIM-1832) installed at the main house audio mixing position. Connecting these two components is accomplished with a rugged and extremely lightweight military specification fiber optic cable weighing less than two (2) pounds per one hundred feet (100') of cable run.Light Viper’s fiber optic cable offers total signal path isolation between both stage and mixer as well as between the mixer and power amplification; the cable is totally immune to ground loops, RFI, EMI and electromechanical noise, and runs of up to 1 1/4 miles (6,600 feet) can be easily accomplished without signal loss or degradation.
The inputs on the audio input stage box will accept balanced or unbalanced XLR or TRS mic or line level audio, which eliminates the need for expensive DI boxes. Industry standard 48-volt phantom power is supplied to all audio mic inputs. Optional optical outputs on the Stage unit allow for a separate stage monitor feed as well as a third for sending the audio data signal to a remote broadcast or recording vehicle.
Pristine-quality audio A/D converters are built into the Light Viper and operate at 24-bit/96 kHz sampling and then the resulting multiplexed digital signal is transmitted via the optic cable on a single fiber pair.
FiberPlex includes a lifetime limited warranty with all VIS-1832 system hardware components.
The suggested professional audio user price for a typical Light Viper VIS-1832 configuration is $7,500; this includes all components (one Stage unit [VIS-1832] and one Mix position 1U rack unit [VIM-1832]), all cable terminations with 300 feet of fiber optic cable, as well as four send and one return breakout cables.
