Sescom SES-X-FA2 Battery Powered 2-Channel Balanced XLR Mic/Line Level Fiber Connector

The Sescom SES-X-FA2 is a professional-grade, portable audio over fiber extender designed to transmit two channels of balanced microphone or line-level analog audio over a single fiber optic cable. Utilizing 24-bit digital encoding, this system ensures high-fidelity audio transmission with a signal-to-noise ratio exceeding 85dB. Whether you're in a broadcast studio, live event venue, or field production environment, the SES-X-FA2 provides reliable and interference-free audio transmission over long distances.

Equipped with switchable balanced mic or line-level inputs, the SES-X-FA2 offers versatility to accommodate various audio sources. The system supports transmission distances up to 984 feet over multimode fiber and up to 12.4 miles over single-mode fiber, making it suitable for both short and long-range applications. Its wide dynamic optical range eliminates the need for optical adjustments, simplifying setup and operation.

Designed for portability and ease of use, each unit features a compact and rugged enclosure measuring 4.33" x 3.62" x 1.65" and weighing only 7.9 oz. The SES-X-FA2 can be powered by a standard 9VDC battery, providing approximately 4 hours of operation, or via an included AC adapter. Simplex ST connectors facilitate straightforward fiber connections, ensuring quick deployment in various settings. Please note that this system is not compatible with IFB systems where audio is modulated with voltage and should not be used with phantom-powered devices.
