Input 3 connector on the rear panel, setting the input level switch
accordingly.
Mic/Line mixing is accomplished using the three input level controls
located on the front panel. When audio is present, adjust the levels so
that the green ‘NORM’ indicator illuminates and the red ‘CLIP’
indicator does not.
It is recommended that the input level be turned
down if an input is not connected
.
Two sets of headphones with ¼” jacks can be used without adapters.
When stereo headphones are used, the output will be monaural, to both
ears.
Do not use monaural headphones with 2-conductor plugs.
The
audio source to the headphones, local or return audio, is adjusted using
the two monitor level controls located above each headphone output.
Level adjustments for each headphone are independent.
Balanced Line level return audio (audio from the far-end) is available
through an XLR connector, and unbalanced line level local and return
audio is available through two ¼” phone jacks. All output levels are
fixed at 0 dBu relative to input levels (no insertion gain/loss).
A 9-pin connector for RS232 ancillary data, remote control and software
maintenance is included, as is a 25-pin connector for the four optically
isolated inputs and relay outputs. In addition, one slot can hold any of
the plug-in digital interface modules available from MUSICAM USA.
Available modules include ISDN Terminal Adapters, RS422, X.21, and
V.35 interfaces. Although primarily an ISDN device, you can also use
the
RoadRunner
with other digital transmission systems, such as
Switched-56, dedicated lines, fractional T-1 and satellite systems using
the appropriate digital interface module.
The
RoadRunner
can be used with 12 VDC or AC power. The universal
AC power supply needs no jumpers, and works with 94 - 250 VAC, 50
or 60 Hz. Power consumption is approximately 40 Watts. Please note
that the
RoadRunner
does require forced-air cooling, and that the rear
mounted cooling fan should not be blocked.
The
RoadRunner
has a rich set of remote control commands that allow
you to control it from an attached terminal or computer. A separate
RoadRunner
Remote Control Manual is available from MUSICAM USA
upon request.
