Operating Manual
A 4952 5 Pin XLR – Cat5 Extender (Transmitter)
OVERVIEW:
This handy interface box allows balanced signals to be transmitted over long
distances using economical UTP data cabling, and provides easy local zone
connection for audio sources. This unit carries the push-to-talk (PTT) signal
to the connected equipment ensuring seamless operation for paging microphones
(connects to pins 4 and 5 of the XLR socket).
The unit has adjustable input sensitivities to handle either microphone (3mV)
or line levels (1V) and has provision for phantom power (15V DC). Both of
these are DIP switch selectable. The output volume is adjusted via the control
on the front.
The balanced output from the A 4952 can be received by the Redback® A 4954
Receiver. The unit is powered from 24V DC, which can be connected to the DC
socket on the rear of the unit, or it can be supplied through the Cat5/6
cabling from other compatible Redback® products such as the A 4954 receiver
(24V DC Plugpack supplied).
