The Hear Back OCTO System​

The Hear Back OCTO is the next evolution of the Hear Back system. The Hear Back OCTO consists of a Hub and personal Mixers. The Hub receives any of three input signal sources and converts them to HearBus digital audio plus power. The Mixers are connected to the Hub using CAT5e or CAT6 cable.

A single Hub will supply digital audio and power to a maximum of eight Mixers. That's one for you and everybody in the band! If that's not enough, the Hubs can be daisy chained using the HearBus In and HearBus Out for virtually unlimited system size.

The Hub may be connected to recording equipment, digital audio workstations, and analog or digital consoles.

The Mixer is placed near the talent and gives them control over the audio inputs. The user-friendly system saves valuable setup time.
