a question regarding the sage 1822 EAS incoder/decoder
what I meant was how does audio switching work, and how does, lets say, routing it through OBS work

Okay, so the way the SAGE is designed to work, it has a pair of XLR inputs and a pair of XLR outputs on the back side of the unit. To the inputs, you’d connect whatever source of music you have, and the outputs you’d connect to your audio interface. (While the jacks are XLR, you can get cheap cables that are XLR to RCA or XLR to 3.5 MM stereo and they’ll work.)
When nothing’s happening, the music will pass through just fine. When an alert is sent by the SAGE, you’ll hear a click and then your music will stop playing and you’ll hear the alert.
Now, as for monitoring connections:
The SAGE has a terminal strip on the rear, this is a bit technical but basically it has, among other things, six mono audio inputs that it will scan for alerts. What you do, you take an RCA cable or similar, and chop one end off and strip the wires until you have two wires. What you do then is you unscrew the two corisponding pins, shove the wires in and tighten the screws down. That’s how the unit scans for alerts.
Keep in mind, the SAGE 1822 is still 25-30 years old, but it’s still a respectable unit and a great unit to get started with, they’re the most common units in the hobbiest market.
Mat how did you get the Amazon pally voices to work? Just asking and sorry for going off-topic. Sorry I ment Amazon Palley. Shoot I hope you know what I ment.
