Introduction

Fig 1-1: RB-SS10 Front Panel.

The RB-SS10 10 Way Stereo Analogue Source Selector/Mixer is a 1U rack-mount unit that
produces a stereo analogue audio output from 10 selectable stereo analogue sources. There
are 10 illuminated front panel push buttons, which select and indicate the current channel
selection. The selection and indication is also available through a remote connector on the
rear panel. To stop accidental front panel selection there is a remote input to inhibit the
front panel buttons.
As well as being able to act as a source select module, the RB-SS10 can act as a mixer, by
enabling the mix mode (using the remote input).
The gain for left and right inputs can be individually adjusted by using the preset
potentiometers on the front panel.
As well as routing the selected audio signal, the unit will also route a remote signal input
through the remote connector to the selected input source, for starting external audio
equipment such as a CD player.
The front panel headphone output has its own volume control, which is independent of
the level adjustment for the main outputs, and has a maximum output level of +12dBu. The
volume control can be made to also alter the output level of the main XLR outputs by using
a switch on the rear panel to enable/disable this feature.
There is a designation strip on the front panel, useful for giving the buttons a meaningful
description. The strip covers the input gain controls so that once configured, they can't
easily be altered – ideal for installation work.
The LED on the front panel is used to indicate that power is present on the unit.
