The Outreach Plate is a versatile audio input extension system designed to increase the input capability of any audio setup. Available in wall, ceiling, and desk-mountable versions, each plate mixes signals from multiple audio sources into a single balanced line-level input compatible with amplifiers. Each unit includes a built-in mixer, preamp, input level control, and balanced output.
Up to 10 Outreach plates can be daisy-chained on a single balanced line connection, supporting cable lengths of up to 100m using standard two-pair audio cable (e.g., Belden 8723). Each plate requires four connections: two for balanced line (Line/A + and –), one ground (GND), and one power input (12–32V DC).
Most of C-TEC's PDA Range induction loop amplifiers include an Outreach socket. For amplifiers without one, connection can be made using a 24V 250mA regulated power supply (APV) and a 3-pin XLR balanced line output plate (APXO).
