The purpose-built networked routing and measurement system for analog tape. Breaks the traditional 3-device limit, intelligently routing audio to and from nine independent tape decks simultaneously, featuring a 2.4" capacitive touchscreen and premium Grigsby-style lever switches for direct tactile control.

Play from one machine while recording to two others, with zero signal degradation.
High-contrast UI for direct routing control, session naming, and macro access. Designed for readability from 2-3 meters.
Dedicated AMP IN and AMP OUT RCA connectors allow the TS09 to act as a direct drop-in replacement for a single tape deck in a standard amplifier tape loop.
If any deck in your network is recording, all active Play indicators instantly shift to blue, preventing accidental erasure.
Dedicated NJM2742 muting ICs ensure every relay transition is completely silent.
Power and data over a single IEEE 802.3bt (60W) Ethernet cable with a rear True Chain Kill master switch.
10x vertical 3-position Harley Benton / Oak Grigsby-style lever switches provide unmatched tactile feedback for channel routing.
Stack and daisy-chain up to 5 TS09 units on a single 60W PoE++ port. Expand your studio from 9 channels to 45 independent channels of pristine analog routing, all controlled from a single MC09 Master unit.
Absolute Signal Purity: The TS09 uses Panasonic TQ2 gold-contact audio relays and 100Ω isolation resistors. The signal path is designed to be entirely transparent.
MC09 Analog Measurement Branch: To enable networked VU metering without degrading the pristine audio path, a dedicated, high-impedance measurement sub-circuit (TL072 High-Z Tap, Precision Rectifier, and ADS1115 16-bit ADC) is placed before the routing relays.
Flawless Studio Integration: While born from an audiophile's passion, the TS09 operates at a broadcast-grade level. Its network-aware safety interlocks and precise telemetry make it an indispensable tool for commercial mastering and recording facilities.
The TS09 features a 9-to-1 summing bus for playback and a 1-to-9 buffered distribution bus for recording. The high-impedance TL072 buffer tap copies the audio signal with negligible current draw, feeding a 16-bit ADS1115 ADC to guarantee jitter-free needle movement on the MC09.
Powered entirely by a single PoE++ Ethernet cable, the TS09 features a dual-RJ45 daisy-chain topology. An internal KSZ8863 switch bridges the ports, allowing you to chain up to 5 units together on a single 60W PoE++ port without needing an external network switch.

The TS09 is available in two precision-crafted chassis finishes: our signature raw CNC-machined Aluminum, or the deep, stealthy Noir (Black Anodized). Use the toggle on each image to preview the Noir version. Both chassis options can be upgraded with hardwood veneer side panels or fitted with standard 19" rack handles.
