RDL RU-ADA4D Overview

The RU-ADA4D from RDL is a four-channel stereo audio distribution amplifier with input and output gain adjustments and input-level metering. The module may be operated in mono to provide up to eight distributed mono signals. The inputs and outputs are connected on rear-panel detachable terminal blocks.

Each of the two line-level inputs accepts either balanced or unbalanced signals. Each input is equipped with a front-panel trim level. Levels between -14 dBV unbalanced and +9 dBu balanced may be set to the proper operating level as indicated by a dual-LED VU meter. This assures ample headroom at all normal operating levels. The maximum input level is + 25 dBu.

A rear-panel switch selects between stereo and mono operation. In the mono position, input A is used to drive all 8 output channels. When the module is used in a monaural system, only input A must be wired.

Audio outputs are isolated from each other and may be wired balanced or unbalanced. Each of the outputs is provided with a front-panel screwdriver adjusted Output Level control. Relative to a balanced +4 dBu output level, this gain potentiometer allows an adjustment range from -9 to +6 dB. Relative to an unbalanced -10 dBV output, each output potentiometer allows an adjustment from -3 to +12 dB.

The RU-ADA4D offers generous headroom, low distortion, crosstalk isolation, wide frequency response and low noise with high common-mode signal rejection. It provides quality performance for professional audio applications.

question

Would this be good to split audio for a press conference?
Asked by: Weston B.
The RDL RU-ADA4D is designed for permanent installation, and meant to be hardwired for audio distribution in media rooms, press conferences where audio jacks are preinstalled into the walls. For field use you may want to take a look at a Press Box. &lt;a href= http://bhpho.to/16GrjXQ target= _blank &gt;http://bhpho.to/16GrjXQ&lt;/a&gt;
