Owner's Manual
Main Features
The S-4000-SP is a REAC splitter for use with the RSS S-4000 Digital Snake System.
Use of this REAC splitter enables you to do the following:
• It permits you to extend REAC cables in lengths of 100 meters.
• It allows you to split the master REAC device's input audio to a split REAC device.
In addition, the S-4000-SP also has the following features:
• The S-4000-SP is made up of two independent 5 port splitters with independent
power supplies. These two splitters can be used independently as dedicated
splitters for the REAC device's MAIN port and BACKUP port. This provides a fully
redundant REAC connection system.
• Two independent internal power supplies furnish power to each of the two internal
splitters, enabling uninterrupted use in the event the power happens to cut out in
one of the power supplies or if there is some other sort of power interruption.
