400 meters. Alternatively, any 10KΩ potentiometer may be used to provide remote control. Installation of the RSA-7806 consists of setting up jumpers to suit the needs of the system as well as optionally connecting the external gain control panel.
Board Installation Use the following steps to install the RSA-7806 cards in a RossGear audio distribution frame: 1. Refer to the User Manual of the RossGear frame, to ensure that the frame is properly installed according to instructions. If this module is to be installed in any compatible frame other than a Ross Video product, refer to the frame manufacturer’s manual for...
Remote Gain Control Connection The RSA-7806 may have its gain controlled from a remote position (up to 400m away from the RSA- 7806). The gain control can be via the optional ARP-7805 Audio Remote Gain Panel, or by customer supplied 10kΩ potentiometers.
This section provides instructions for connecting cables to the RSA-7806 when mounted in RossGear frames. Use the Stereo markings on the rear of the frame to make the connections for the RSA-7806. See Figure 5 and the tables below, for cable input and output designations.
