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.

MICROPHONE COMPRESSORS

Intended to produce consistent audio levels despite wide variations in the microphone output due to inconsistent technique, the EZ-MCP1 is installed between a dynamic or condenser microphone and a microphone-level input to a mixer or amplifier. This improves sound quality and intelligibility by producing consistent audio levels and controlling overloads that produce distortion and clipping in applications including, paging and public address in houses of worship, restaurants, clubs, meeting rooms, educational facilities, conference rooms and commercial sound systems.


EZ-MCP1

On the front panel there is a 3-pin XLR connector for the microphone input, and a blue LED to indicate power is present. Another green LED indicates when 24V phantom power is switched on; this happens automatically when the EZ-MCP1 output is connected to a microphone input that provides phantom voltage. A preset rotary control is adjusted during normal speech until the red compression LED just begins to flash. The rear panel has an 3-pin male XLR for the balanced microphone output and a preset rotary control to set output level. Power is connected with a locking co-axial connector

Input: -60 to -30 dBu (to cross threshold), 1 kohms, balanced. Input balance: 55 dB CMRR, 50 Hz to 120 Hz. Compression: 30dB. Response: 50Hz to 20kHz +/- 0.5 dB. Distortion: 0.5% THD+N, 50Hz to 20kHz, at compressor threshold. Noise: -63 dB below -45dBu output level at compressor threshold, -56dBu input. Output: -55 dBu to -30 dBu, 150ohms, balanced. Phantom power: 24V (IEC 1938: 1996-12). Power source: 24V DC, 55mA idle, 70mA maximum, with phantom power. Dimensions: 74 x 76mm (w x d) mm. Mounting size: 1/6 rack width.

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.)
