EAO Keeps Entertainment Industry Switched On
EAO, the expert for Human Machine Interfaces, introduces a range of compact-switches useful for many applications within the entertainment and broadcast industry.
Already in some of the world's top-end audio mixers, EAO's Series 95 pushbuttons are designed specifically for silent operation within studio, audio/video and broadcast applications. They are now available in three sizes (12.7 mm², 15.88 mm² and 19.05 mm²), offering designers greater choice for creating highly responsive and intuitive control panels.
The Series 95 is a multi-element switch, facilitating up to three functions to be performed by one compact pushbutton: normally illuminated in one color, press the button once and the color changes, then press again and it changes to a new color. The unique actuation provides a clear, positive indication of circuit transfer, making them ideal for showing the different operating status of equipment.
The brilliant, full-face illumination of the Series 95 provides excellent visibility - even when viewed from the side - allowing users to see the switch's status at a glance. These switches can be used with a variety of LED colors and cap styles (concave/convex).
A combination of PCB mountability and short behind-panel depth enables the Series 95 to be used in compact applications, providing a perfect solution for equipment used in space-challenged environments and small venues.
EAO's success in the audio video sector has been achieved by offering a wide range of specialized, highly reliable products. PCB-mount pushbuttons and indicators in the Series 97 start from a very compact 7mm lens with options for different cap heights, cap styles and colors. LED illumination is available also. EAO's panel mount pushbuttons and indicators start at 8mm in size (Series 18 and Series 19), and offer available options of LED illumination, cap heights, cap styles and colors. Among other compact switches is an LED-illuminated hinge switch, also known as an 'input button', from the Series 96 range, and a small 18mm2 keylock from the Series 99 range.
EAO is one of the world's leading suppliers of switches to all levels of the audio video industry; from custom-built mixing desks for prestigious recording studios, to semi-professional video mixers and public-address systems. It supplies switches for lighting rigs, FM/AM antenna amplifiers, and control panels for cameras as well.
Wherever there is entertainment, EAO is in control. Pricing for these products start at slightly over $5.00 in small quantities.
