SS 4.1 MLR/Term – Terminal Block Switcher/Router

The SS 4.1 MLR/Term is a transparent four channel audio switcher/router with mechanical latching relays and pluggable euroblock screw terminals. The SS 4.1 MLR/Term is perfect for analog or digital audio or other types of passive signal switching via front panel switches, contact closures and/or serial RS-232.

Description

Switching is accomplished with mechanical latching gold contact relays, which means that the unit can route a signal in either direction and will keep routing signal even after losing power. Due to the passive nature of the switching, any input level and impedance can be used. Inputs may be balanced or unbalanced, while output levels, impedance, distortion, noise and balancing will match that of the selected input.

Also known as: SS 4.1 MLR.
