Paired with AUDAC wall input units, it carries two audio channels (line and microphone) up to 984 ft (300 m) over standard UTP CAT5E or better. Its RCA and XLR outputs feed any amplifier, preamplifier or mixer input, making it a practical way to extend wall-plate inputs in conference rooms, training rooms and multi-purpose spaces.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does the AUDAC APG20MK2 active audio receiver work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/images.pvs.global\/audac\/products\/APG20_MK2.webp?width=1200\" alt=\"AUDAC APG20MK2 active audio receiver gateway\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe APG20MK2 receives a differential audio bus on an RJ45 connector. That single cable carries both audio channels, an RS-485 data channel and 24 V DC power to the transmitter end, so the wall input needs no local power supply. Because the bus uses a differential input with increased voltage levels, the received signal is insensitive to noise, interference and attenuation over long runs. Standard reach is 984 ft (300 m); with additional external power supplies, AUDAC rates distances up to 1,969 ft (600 m). The line channel leaves on dual RCA connectors and the microphone channel on an XLR connector with a switch for 0 dB or -40 dB output level, so it can feed either a line or mic input on the downstream equipment. The RS-485 signals are passed to an RJ45 output so they can be daisy-chained to the controlled equipment. The unit sits in AUDAC's S-Box modular aluminum enclosure, and optional MBS1xx brackets allow desk, closet or 19\" rack installation.
