REMOTE LINE SELECTOR (RLS)
MODULE CONNECTIONS
(FOR ANALOG AND DIGITAL VERSIONS)
Both RLS versions use nine 6-pin connectors. On the
analog version they follow the standard stereo audio pinout
sequence. On the digital version, the digital input and out-
put signals connect to pins 1, 2 and 3 only.
The digital RLS inputs are designed for AES/EBU (also
referred to as AES-3) signals, although the can also handle
most S/PDIF signals. The digital outputs are AES/EBU-
compatible.
Note:
AES/EBU outputs cannot directly connect to
an S/PDIF input. A digital signal convertor must be used.
The analog RLS inputs can be any balanced or unbal-
anced line-level devices with reference levels of -10 dBu
to +4 dBu. The analog RLS outputs are at the same refer-
ence level as the inputs (-10 dBu up to +4 dBu). The RLS
outputs are typically connected to an Input module or a
recording device. Refer back to page 8 for unbalanced de-
vice connection information.
Note:
There are no level adjustments on the RLS mod-
ule, therefore all analog input sources must use the same
reference level. The RLS is an active device, therefore, the
inputs and outputs
cannot be swapped to make a 2 x 7
device.
The Remote Line Selector module’s buttons are spaced
so that a Brother P-Touch™ or similar labelling machine
can be used to identify the input sources. The lines next to
each RLS button are spaced 1/2" [12.70 mm] apart so
that either 3/8" [9.525 mm] or 1/2" [12.70 mm] label
tape with two lines of type can be used.
See Chapter 3
Remote Line Selector (RLS) Module for
more operational information.
