RDL AV INTERFACES - HALF-RACK Series

RDL's HR series are 'Half-Rack' Series products with an 'all-metal chassis' which may be used free-standing, using the feet supplied. Each unit may be labelled by removing an end cap and sliding out a clear plastic cover, which can be slid back in to cover user’s labelling, much in the manner of standard designation strips. Two units may be mounted side-by-side in an optional 1U 19-inch rack adapter.

HR-MCP2 Dual Microphone Compressor

This dual mic compressor has two independent balanced microphone input channels with user control for 6dB/octave 80Hz low-cut filter, 15dB pad attenuation to give +5dBu to +20dBu input level, and gain control to offer adjustment from 20dB to 60dB.

The front panel houses all controllers and includes 3dB incremental, 7-stage LED meters on both channels to illustrate the gain reduction level. Each channel also has a clip LED that illuminates is a signal peak is within 1dB of clipping.

The two inputs each have 3-pin XLR and detachable terminal connections with switchable +48V phantom power. Switchable mic/line-level output is also with balanced 3-pin XLR and detachable terminal connections.

Specifications: Input level: -60dBu to -20dBu, without input pad; -45dBu to -5dBu, with input pad. Maximum input level: over +5dBu, input pad off; +22dBu, input pad on. Input impedance: over 1.5kohm, balanced. Input pad: 15dB nominal. Output level: -45dBu, mic, nominal, into 600ohms; +4dBu, line, nominal, dynamic audio source; +1dBu, line, nominal, sine-wave producing 3dB compression. Gain trim: 20dB to 60dB. Frequency response: 10Hz to 25kHz. Dimensions: 43 x 206 x 116.6mm (H x L x D).

Accessories: HR-HRA1 10.4-inch Rack adapter, HR-RA2 19-inch Rack adapter.

HR-DSX4 Digital Audio Selector

This offers a means to select one of four digital audio sources to one output. Each input may be fed through one of three jacks connectors, S/PDIF optical, S/PDIF (or AES-3ID) coaxial or AES/EBU. Solid-state switching is used to select one of the four inputs. Operating up to 24-bit resolution, 192kHz sampling-rate, the selected input is decoded, re-clocked and transmitted through the output. Switching may be controlled locally or remotely; a remote control output is available from the selected input. RDL's proprietary 'Sure-Lok' auto recovery supervision monitors possible causes of latch-up and re-initiates digital signal-lock, to provide 'highly stable operation in the variety of conditions encountered in professional environments'.

The front panel has a switch to select remote or local control with an LED to indicate the mode. Four large buttons select which of the input sources is fed to the output, each with an LED to show which input is in use. Upon selecting a source, the LED lights if a valid input is present; otherwise it flashes. If the button for a selected source is pushed again, all inputs are turned off. The power button has an associated LED to indicate power is present.

The rear has five groups of connectors for four inputs and the outputs Each group has RCA (phono), optical and XLR connectors for S/PDIF coaxial, S/PDIF optical and AES/EBU connection respectively. The output XLR is male and a switch selects the appropriate output connector and any required electrical and data format conversion. The inputs have female XLR inputs. Each group of connectors also has a three-pole detachable terminal connector for remote control. Both a co-axial connector and a detachable terminal block are provided for connecting power.

In the remote control mode, inputs are selected by an external switch or open-collector closure to ground, per source, which may be momentary or continuous. When a source is selected, the unit provides a 50mA open-collector output for the selected input to control other equipment or modules. The remote control terminals associated with the output connectors provides the facility to turn off all inputs.

Inputs: 110ohms, AES/EBU, balanced, transformer isolated; 75ohms, S/PDIF; optical S/PDIF; 75ohms, AES-3ID. Sample rates: 32-192kHz. Resolution: 16 to 24 bits. Outputs: 110ohms, AES/EBU, transformer isolated; 75ohms, S/PDIF; 75ohms, AES-3ID. Power source: 24-33V DC, 50mA, ground-referenced. Dimensions: 43 x 206 x 116.6mm (h x l x d).

Included accessories: Instruction sheet, mounting screws. There is no AC power supply.
Optional accessories: Power adapter, 24V, see RDL Power Supplies; mounting hardware, see RDL Rack Mounting Adapters - Half-Rack.

DISTRIBUTION AMPLIFIERS

MOUNTING ADAPTERS

This hardware mounts up to two RDL Half-Rack or Rack-up products in a 19-inch rack, taking up 1U of space.

HR-RA2 Rack Mounting Adapter - Half-Rack Series

This is a 1U, 19-inch rack chassis for mounting two RDL Half-Rack products, plates or accessories. Half-Rack series products drop into the chassis, slide into position and are secured by tightening two or four screws provided with the product or accessory.

HR-RU1 Mounting Adapter Kit - Rack-Up Series

The HR-RU1 is a kit of two brackets that allow a Rack-Up product to be mounted in one-half of an HR-RA2 Rack Adapter.

HR-FP1 Filler Panel - Half-Rack Series

The HR-FP1 is a filler panel that occupies one product space in an RDL Half-Rack mounting chassis, such as the HR-RA2, filling unused space. The design of the HR-FP1 complements the appearance of adjacent products.
