Astral Outpost

NexLink^™ is Sound Devices’ long-distance remote control of all Astral transmitters. This game-changing system allows remote control of all parameters on the transmitters – and has a distance exceeding the audio. Since NexLink operates at 2.4 GHz, its antennas cannot be remote-mounted more than a few inches due to cable loss – until now.  

With the Astral Outpost, NexLink antennas can be located near the action, along with UHF audio antennas. Remote mounting is simple, using Cat-6 Ethernet cable or even fiber optic Ethernet. One Astral Outpost can cover all the action within a large stadium, with its antennas located in the arena, not at the equipment rack.
