The DCH8 functions as a relay device between the host device and DCP series, allowing a combination of star and daisy-chain connections. Power is supplied via the CAT5e cable from the host device, simplifying cabling and allowing flexible device layout.* Screw holes for mounting flanges are provided on both the rear and sides, for flexible mounting in a variety of situations.
The DCH8 will be on show with the full CIS range on Yamaha's Stand 3-A90 at ISE2016, which takes place at the Amsterdam RAI from 9-12 February.
