Signal Connections
The VE8004/VE8004R has five signal connectors
on the rear panel:
1 RCA jack for AUX audio input
4 RJ-45 connectors for audio and relay
connections for each networked channel
AUX Input
: Local audio may be input via the
rear panel RCA jack. Nominal input impedance
is 600 Ohms. Connect any compatible audio
source using an RCA patch cable. Audio
supplied through the rear panel RCA jack is
transformer coupled to both Audio Out channels
when Audio Out is idle. This is typically
used for background music.
Rear View
Networked Channels:
Access to the networked
audio is via four rear panel RJ-45 connectors.
Provided with the VE8004/VE8004R are four
RJ-45 patch cables and four VM-186 RJ-45
Connectors. Signals connections are made by
connecting one end of a patch cable to the
VE8004/VE8004R and the other to the VM-186
connector. Access to the signals is via screw
terminal connections or 110-style punchdown block
on the VM-186 (see Figure 2). Signals are present
on pairs of pins as shown in Figure 2.
