    VCM-88(E), no batteries or remote power supply are necessary for either RD-8 or RW-8. The RD-8 can com- municate to the VCM-88(E) over a 24 gauge snake cable in excess of 1/4 mile (400m). The RD-8 also pulse-shapes the digital waveform to eliminate digital crosstalk noise into adjacent audio channels.
