Audio Accessories Backplate I/O: OhmMG! Look How Adorable!
Take a look behind your audio rack: it's not pretty back there. The tangled mess of wires, patches power cords and dust are back there precisely because you don't want to have to think about them. but somebody does -- that's Audio Accessories, the company with the utilitarian name and product focus to boot.
In this vid, watch grown (mustachioed) men get five kinds of excited about circuitboards and resistors. If there was ever an Audubon Society for field-identifying audio connectors, Kevin Wilcox would be a charter member.
KEVIN: I'm Kevin [INDISCERNIBLE]. I'm with Audio Accessories. We have a couple of new products here at the AES Show we'd like to show you. One of the products here is an I/O Backplate. This is a two-rack-unit backplate which uses different modules. This particular unit is set up for conversion modules. These take a 75-Ohm BNC connector, On the back of this particular one, it goes to a DB25 connector, so you have a 110-Ohm signal coming in on the DB25 converted back to a 75-Ohm to the BNC's on the front.
This particular unit goes from the 75-Ohm BNC's to 110-Ohm signal out on XLR's. It could be done with either male XLR's or female XLR's. This particular conversion brings it out to 110 Ohms on the three-pin Edac connectors
