AMX CE-REL8 Control Extender – 8 Relay
The AMX CE-REL8 is a compact control interface for integrating relay-based switching into networked studio automation and control systems. Its card-deck-sized footprint integrates seamlessly into live room, control room, or equipment rack installations while delivering reliable signal routing and device control for professional studio workflows.
Network Integration & Power
PoE power eliminates the need for separate power supplies, while the RJ45 Ethernet port supports network distances up to 100 meters, enabling flexible placement throughout the studio. Typical power draw of 1.9 watts (maximum 3.4 watts) keeps infrastructure demands minimal and studio power budgets tight.
Relay Switching & Protocol Support
Eight independent 1A relays rated for 24VAC or 28VDC enable control of studio lighting, monitor switching, HVAC, and other low-voltage devices critical to session management. Native support for RS-232, -422, and -485 protocols ensures compatibility with legacy and modern control systems, while the built-in web interface and open control API integrate seamlessly with third-party studio control platforms and DAW automation workflows.
