Description
The SS 8.1 MLR/Term G2 NET is a transparent eight input, one output (8×1) switcher/router with mechanical latching relays and pluggable euroblock screw terminals. The SS 8.1 MLR/Term G2 NET is perfect for analog or digital audio or other types of passive signal switching via front panel switches, contact closures and/or TCP/UDP Ethernet.
Switching is accomplished with mechanical latching gold contact relays, which means that the unit can route a signal in either direction. 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. The SS 8.1 MLR/Term G2 NET can be controlled and monitored locally and/or with simple contact closures to ground, as well as Ethernet.
Features/Benefits
- • Front panel channel selection push buttons with active channel LED indicators.
- • The audio “MUTE” function allows the user to turn off all audio.
- • Front panel Enable switch can be configured to provide a safety lock to the front panel selection push buttons.
- • Remote control via contact closures, 5-volt TTL/CMOS logic levels and/or Ethernet.
- • Internal silence sensor with front panel LED indicator, relay output with adjustable alarm delay and restore duration.
- • Normally open relay outputs for remote channel status.
- • Audio/signal switching via mechanical latching sealed relays utilizing 2-form-C bifurcated – crossbar silver alloy with gold overlay contacts.
- • Removable screw terminals are used for audio and remote control/status to simplify wiring and service. Euroblock mating plugs are supplied.
- • The power-up source selection feature allows the user to select which source is active at power up, including the last source selected.
- • If power is lost, the last selected channel is passed to the output.
- • Fully RFI proofed.
- • Surge protected internal power supply, an 9 VDC desktop universal switching power supply with domestic connector supplied.
- • Up to two units may be mounted on the optional RA-1 rack shelf. Desktop and wall mounting is also possible.
Applications
Switching/routing applications include: Analog stereo audio, Studio selection, Audio processing selection, exciter input selection, STL source selection, EAS audio, RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 data signals and telephone lines.
