The
RU-MLD4 is a four
channel audio distribution
amplifier. The input and all four outputs may be connected through the front-panel
XLR jacks or on the rear panel detachable terminal blocks. The input accepts either a
balanced microphone or
line level signal. Each of the four outputs provides either a
microphone or
line level signal. Both the front-panel
XLR connectors and the rear-panel terminals are active at all times. The
RU-MLD4 may be rack-mounted with the
XLR jacks facing forward, or may be reverse-mounted using the RDL
RU-FP1 Filler Panel/Reverse Mount Kit.
The
audio input is equipped with a rear-panel switch to select between
MIC and
LINE level. Two additional switches allow setting the
MIC input for LO or HI
gain and for enabling or disabling standard 24 Vdc phantom. The two
microphone gain settings allow the connection of a wide variety of
dynamic and
condenser microphones. Each output is provided with a separate rear-panel switch to set the associated
level to either
MIC or LINE.
Audio outputs are isolated from each other and may be wired
balanced or
unbalanced.
Gain trim is provided on a front-panel control. An RDL Dual-
led VU meter is provided above the
gain trimmer. The meter is calibrated to indicate +4
dBu for outputs set to
line level. The rear panel provides a detachable terminal block and a power input
jack to connect 24 Vdc power. Each output of the RU-MLD4T is equipped with a studio-quality
audio output transformer.
