The Extron AXI 02 AT is a compact analog stereo audio interface that converts unbalanced stereo audio from consumer sources to balanced stereo audio for professional AV systems. It accepts stereo audio on dual RCA connectors and outputs balanced stereo audio on captive screw terminals, providing clean signal conversion with transformer isolation to eliminate hum and ground loops. This interface is ideal for integrating devices with RCA outputs—such as media players, laptops, DVD/Blu-ray players, or consumer electronics—into balanced audio chains with amplifiers, DSPs, mixers, matrix switchers, or presentation systems in classrooms, conference rooms, boardrooms, training facilities, and control environments.
Featuring transformer-based galvanic isolation, adjustable gain control (±12 dB) for precise level matching, and a rugged metal enclosure, the AXI 02 AT ensures reliable, low-noise performance in mixed consumer-professional AV setups. Its small form factor allows easy mounting under tables, in racks, or behind equipment, while captive screw terminals provide secure, vibration-resistant connections for permanent installations.
