To make a multiplexer compact.SOLUTION: In a multiplexer 1 having multiple multiplexed boards 2-1 through 2-N for series connection, and multiplexing the signals detected by multiple acoustic sensors, each multiplexed board 2-k has a conversion part 4-k generating acoustic data by converting the acoustic signal detected by an acoustic sensor 7-k into a digital signal, an output part 21 outputting the converted acoustic data to a multiplexed board on the subsequent stage, a storage section 5-k for storing the acoustic data received from a multiplexed board on the prestage, and an output control section 22 for controlling the output part 21 so as to output the acoustic data, stored in the storage section 5-k, to the multiplexed board on the subsequent stage, after outputting the acoustic data thereto.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
