Page 6: How Do I Get Started
UNPACKING AND CONTENTS The items contained in your Kramer VM Amplifier packaging are listed below. Please save the original box and packaging materials for possible future transportation and shipment of the Amplifier. - Page 7 (up to 12 MHz) signals up to 100 meters. At shorter distances, as in a studio, bandwidth of 30 MHz is easily achieved. By using the KRAMER TP-1 together with the TP-2 (Video Line Receiver) coax wiring (in a studio for example) can be completely eliminated.
