New Ward-Beck was used twice to test Audio and has not been used since.  This is unit retails for $4200 currently, so you can save some money on this one.The AMS8-1AM is a compact one rack-unit aural and visual monitor designed to handle multi-channel format audio signals. Eight PPM/VU LED bar graphs display signal activity, while a sophisticated multi-speaker system allows operators to listen, with great clarity, to the signal being monitored. INPUTS The AMS8-1AM has four digital audio inputs. 110 Ohm balanced inputs are on 3-pin screw terminal connectors and 75 Ohm unbalanced inputs are on BNC connectors. An internal switcher allows the operator to toggle between the two banks of four balanced and unbalanced inputs. Four AES output signals that are copies of the input signals are provided on the rear panel. The signals are provided as both balanced on  3-pin terminals or unbalanced signals on BNC connectors. A reference input for DARS is provided. This may be 110 Ohms, balanced, via a 3-pin screw terminal connector or 75 Ohms, unbalanced, via a BNC connector. The AMS8-1AM is equipped with a Ward-Beck demux module capable of handling both SD and HD SDI signals with embedded audio. The demux module provides a re-clocked copy of the input digital video signal as well as a copy of the AES group that is selected for monitoring. The unit provides an analog stereo output that is a copy of the signal being fed to the integral speakers. This stereo output may be configured to follow the front panel speaker level control or to be a fixed line level output. The SERIAL COMM DB9 connector includes GPI and GPO inputs that may be used for tally and external control functions.
