The following information is pulled from the ACU2 Technical User Guide. For a comprehensive overview of the ACU2, please see the full guide:
View GuideThe ACE Communication Unit – 2nd Generation (ACU2) is a compact 48 kHz digital and audio distribution device that connects remotely located operator headsets, speakers, control panels and other peripherals to a central Telestra server via the ACENet architecture. The ACU2 evolved from the ACU to provide four-channel stereo support in a reduced size.
