APACHE, the professional lightpipe patchbay from Frontier Design Group. ADAT™ Optical and TOSLINK™ digital audio interfaces are the accepted standard for interconnecting much of your studio’s gear. But keeping all those connections straight can be a real headache. But now there’s APACHE.

With 12 inputs and outputs, you can route up to four sets of 24-channel equipment with one easy-to-use box. That means you can route audio between your digital tape machines, hard disk recorders, computers, and a digital mixer without ever having to unplug and repatch cables. Just set up APACHE once, and with just two button presses you can completely reroute your studio.

APACHE provides an independent PLL for each input. Each input stream is precisely reclocked so that the output stream carries the full integrity of the input. You’ll always get trouble-free routing with full 24-bit resolution.
