Nowadays many radiostations work with computers to stay on the air for 24 hours. These computers can produce any kind of music at any time you wish, but what happens when the computer crashes………then there’s silence. No panic, the Silence Detector solves this problem! With Dateq’s Silence Detector (SD-1) you stay “on air”!

The RB-SD1 Silence Detection Unit is used to monitor an unattended stereo studio feed and in the event of the signal going 'quiet' after a given period the unit will switch through an alternative stereo audio signal. This signal could be a recorded message (e.g. normal service will be resumed. etc), a feed from a CD player or MiniDisk machine, or an alternative recorded program. Controls are provided to start external equipment and to provide remote status indication. The RB-SD1 has a passive signal path so that it will still allow a signal to be transmitted in the event of a power failure.
