RDL AV INTERFACES - EZ Series

The EZ-Series offers a wide range of stand-alone designs including distribution amplifiers for line level audio, headphones, composite and XGA/XGA video, audio pre-power and mixer amplifiers, AV input selectors and computer video selectors. All models may be connected and operated without the use of tools, using standard cables. They are housed in enclosures with the same height, with widths in increments of one sixth of a rack-width, so they may be mounted singly or in multiples in a range of accessory mounts. Audio and video are switched using solid-state circuitry to avoid degradation due to dirty switches; critical connectors are gold-plated for reliable connections.

PRE-AMPLIFIERS

A range of EZ-series pre-amplifiers to allow the user to use a more substantial input level before the amplification or mixing stage of the chain.


EZ-MPA1 - Single channel

This has, on the front panel, a rotary level control, a switch to enable the compressor, LEDs to show normal and peak audio levels and a LED for power. The rear panel has an 3-pin female XLR for the balanced microphone input, a switch to enable the 24V phantom power, and a pair of RCA (phono) connectors as well as a 3.5mm stereo jack for the outputs. Power is connected with a locking co-axial connector.

Input: -11dBu maximum, 1.2 kohms. Level control: Off to 50dB gain. Outputs: -10dBV nominal, +16dBV maximum without compression; -4dBV maximum with 20dB compression. Response: 80Hz-40kHz +/-1 dB, -6 dB at 20Hz with integral high-pass filter. Distortion: Less than 0.1% THD+N, 35Hz-20kHz, -50 dBu input. Noise: Better than 65 dB below -10dBV output, -50dBu input. Compression: 20dB range. CMRR: Better than 55dB, 20Hz-20kHz. Phantom power: 24V to IEC 1938: 1996-12. Power source: 24V DC, 55mA idle, 80mA maximum, 100mA maximum with phantom power. Dimensions: 146 x 76mm (w x d). Mounting size: 1/3 rack width.

Included accessories: PS-24AX-UK AC power adapter with UK AC supply contact-pin assembly.
Optional accessories: PS-24AX-EU AC power adapter with Euro AC supply contact-pin assembly.


EZ-MPA2 - Dual channel

Similar to the EZ-MPA1, this has, in addition, a second rotary level control and a second pair of audio present LEDs on the front panel. The rear panel has a second 3-pin female XLR for the second microphone input. Specifications and accessories are the same as the EZ-MPA1 except the following: Crosstalk: Below noise floor, 1 kHz. Power source: 24V DC, 65mA idle, 90mA maximum, 110mA maximum with phantom power.


EZ-PH1

Intended to interface a record turntable and magnetic pick-up cartridge to mixers and amplifiers with line inputs or to connect directly to recorders for dubbing records to other media, this is a stereo device with level adjustment and indication.

The front panel has two trimmers to adjust the gain of the two channels and two pairs of LED indicators. These show when 'normal' audio level is present and when the output level 'peak's (exceeds -10dBV) for each of the two channels. A further LED indicates the presence of power. The rear panel has locking co-axial socket for the power input and two pairs of gold plated RCA (phono) connectors for the stereo inputs and outputs. There is a screw provided to earth the tone-arm (pick-up arm) if required.

Input: -18dBV maximum, 47kohms. Gain: Off to +55dB, 1 kHz. Equalization: RIAA. Response: 20Hz-20kHz +\- 0.75dB, referred to RIAA curve. Distortion: Less than 0.05% THD+N, 20Hz-20kHz, 36dB gain. Noise: Less than -74dB, 36dB gain, 1kHz; less than -80dB, 36dB gain, 1kHz, A-weighted. Crosstalk: Less than -75dB, 1 kHz. Output: -10dBV nominal. Power source: 24V DC, 30mA idle, 45mA maximum. Dimensions: 74 x 76mm (w x d). Mounting size: 1/6 rack width.

Included accessories: PS-24AX-UK AC power adapter with UK AC supply contact-pin assembly.
Optional accessories: PS-24AX-EU AC power adapter with Euro AC supply contact-pin assembly.

MOUNTING ACCESSORIES

These include a free-standing case and rack-mounting adapter for multiple units, fixed desktop mounts, under-shelf brackets and through-surface bezels for the Radio Design Labs EZ-series of audio and video equipment.

The EZ-Series offers a wide range of stand-alone designs including distribution amplifiers for line level audio, headphones, composite and XGA/XGA video, audio pre-power and mixer amplifiers, AV input selectors and computer video selectors. They are housed in enclosures with the same height, with widths in increments of one sixth of a rack-width, so they may be mounted singly or in multiples in this range of accessory mounts.


EZ-SMB1, EZ-SMB2 Bezels - For Surface-Mounting

These may be used to mount an EZ Series product in any flat surface. The bezel serves to hide the edge of the cut-out through the surface; the EZ Series product fastens to the bezel with only two screws. The EZ-SMB1 mounts a 1/6th rack-width item. Dimensions: 104 x 69(w x h). Cut-out: 79 x 44(w x h). The EZ-SMB2 mounts a 1/3rd rack-width item. Dimensions: 178 x 69(w x h). Cut-out: 152 x 44(w x h).


EZ-CC6 Component Chassis - Free-standing Housing

The EZ-CC6 is a steel case for free-standing use, which will take EZ Series products up to six increments of 1/6th rack width. The front and rear, as supplied are open. The cover lifts off the base after four screws are removed. The base plate is punched for fasteners to mount active products, storage drawers or filler panels to fill the remaining open space at the front. The rear is left open for cable access.


EZ-DC1, EZ-DC2 Desktop Chassis

Made from folded steel, in a wedge-shape, the EZ-DC1 is for mounting an EZ-series 1/6th rack width product above a surface, with the front panel at an angle. The chassis covers a cable port in the desk-top and provides space for excess wire. The bottom is open to give a large area for access to the cable port; the top is also open underneath the mounting position for either a 76mm or 127mm deep EZ Series product. The rear is open for cable access. The chassis is fixed to the desk top, the cables are drawn through the cable port and out of the rear of the chassis. The EX Series product is screwed to the chassis then the cables are brought up from below and connected. The EZ-DC2 is the same as the EZ-DC1 except that it mounts a 1/3rd rack-width EZ Series product.


EZ-FP1 Filler Panel

These are used to fill in space in the front panel when the EZ-RA6 or EZ-CC6 are not fully occupied with other EZ Series products. They mount to the base with two screws.


EZ-RA6 Rack Adapter

This is a rack-shelf designed to mount EZ Series products up to six increments of 1/6th rack-width in 1U of a 19 inch rack. The front and rear are open; the base is punched to fix EZ Series active products, storage drawers and filler panels at the front. When mounted in a rack, it is possible to release two screws at the rear, allowing the base-plate to slide forward so that items may be installed without removing the shelf from the rack.


EZ-SD1, EZ-SD2 Storage Drawers

These may be used in an EZ-CC6 Component Chassis or EZ-RA6 Rack Adapter to provide useful storage space for adapters and cables, as an alternative to filler panels. The drawer base slides into grooves in the base of the EZ-CC6 or EZ-RA6. The EZ-SD1 takes up 1/6th of a rack width. The EZ-SD2 is 1/3rd rack width.


EZ-UCB2 Under-Counter Brackets

These are simple, folded-metal brackets which snap on to the case of an EZ Series product, which can then be secured to the brackets with screws. The brackets, in turn, can then be screwed to the underside of a counter or shelf. (Suitable screws should be chosen to suit the material of the shelf or counter, they are not included.)
