A.Power. This power module accommodates power ranging from 100–240VAC, 50/60Hz, 30W. No switching is required.

B.Inputs A–D.These connectors are used with line-level inputs. Inputs can include video codecs, AP10 Telephone Interfaces, VCRs, or CD players, or other audio sources. These inputs can be mixed in any combination with the gated inputs to any of the eight outputs. Nominal input is 0dBu. Mix level can be easily set for each non-gated input.

C.Outputs A–D,1–4.These connectors allows eight line-level outputs to be connected to the unit. Outputs can include video codecs, AP800s, AP10 Telephone Interfaces, and VCRs. These outputs can be configured to contain any combination of gated and non-gated inputs. The nominal output level is 0dBm.
