Rolls SS32 Mini Route 3 Signal Switch
INTRODUCTION
The SS32 is a versatile unit that works as a signal distribution device by taking a single stereo or mono signal input and switching it to up to three stereo outputs. The unit can also take three separate stereo or mono signals in, and switch them to a single stereo or mono output.
SPECIFICATIONS
- Connector Type: RCA
- Brand: Rolls
- Cable Type: RCA
- Number of Ports: 3
- Connectors:
- 4 Stereo RCA jacks
- 4 1/8″ Tip-Ring-Sleeve jacks
- Switch: Triple pull / double throw toggle switch
- Item Weight: 8.8 ounces
- Product Dimensions: 5 x 5 x 5 inches
- Item model number: SS32
DESCRIPTION
- Common Jacks: Stereo RCA’s or 1/8″ Tip-Ring-Sleeve jacks for input/output and pass-through connections.
- A, B, C Jacks: Stereo RCA’s or Three 1/8″ Tip-Ring-Sleeve jacks for input/output connections.
- A, B, C Switch: Mechanical toggle switch – connects and disconnects the A, B, and C jacks to the Common jack(s).
OPERATION
- After proper connections are made, the SS32 will simply connect the indicated channel (A, B, or C) to the Common jacks by switching between the corresponding- ing selectors A, B, or C.
CONNECTION
First, it must be stressed that the SS32 should either be operated in Stereo, or Mono mode – NOT both. Using this device with mono cabling and stereo equipment could damage your stereo equipment. Since the SS32 is a passive device, connecting a 1/8″ mono (Tip-Sleeve) plug to either the Common or A, B, or C jacks – that jack’s ring connection will be grounded. This means the stereo signal will be lost. Therefore, you must first determine whether you operating this unit in Stereo or Mono. Refer to Figure 1 for the differences in Stereo and Mono 1/8″ plugs.
FEATURES
-
Input Ports:
These are the ports that you will use to attach any audio or video source devices that you have. There is no set amount of input ports; however, if you have a switch with three inputs, such as the “Mini Route 3,” you will likely have three input ports. connections such as RCA and 3.5mm audio jacks, as well as several other types of audio and video connections, are rather common. -
Port for Output:
This is the port to which you will attach your output device, such as a display, speakers, or headphones. This is where the signal that is coming from the input source that has been chosen will be routed. -
If applicable, the power input is as follows:
It is possible that some signal switches need power, particularly if they contain active switching mechanisms, LED indicators, or other elements that require energy in order to function properly. In the event that it were necessary, there would be a power input where an external power supply could be connected. -
Controls for the Switches:
You may be able to manually pick the input source that you wish to output by means of physical buttons, switches, or knobs. The design of the device will determine whether or not these elements are present. -
Indicators with LEDs:
It is possible that there will be LEDs connected to each source of input, with the purpose of indicating which source is now active or has been chosen for output. -
If applicable, the Remote Control Sensor is as follows:
There may be a sensor on the device that is able to receive signals from the remote control if the signal switch is packaged along with a remote control that is used to switch the sources. -
The wiring:
In order to connect the devices that serve as sources to the input ports and the devices that serve as outputs to the output port, you will need audio or video cables of the right kind. -
Available Extras Are As Follows:
There may be extra functions available, such as automated source switching, noise isolation, or various audio/video processing capacities, but this will depend on the specific device.
PRECAUTIONS
-
Learn from the Guide:
Always be sure to read the user manual and follow the directions provided by the manufacturer about the setup, operation, and maintenance of the product. It’s possible that each model has its own set of criteria and characteristics. -
Power requirements are as follows:
In the event that the signal switch needs electricity, ensure that you are using the appropriate power adaptor and voltage as described in the instructions. If you power the gadget using the incorrect source, it might become damaged. -
Having Adequate Ventilation:
Make sure there is enough air around the signal switch to prevent it from overheating. It should not be placed in confined places or in close proximity to sources of heat. -
Safe and Sound Connections:
Check that each cable has been attached to the appropriate port in a secure manner. Incorrect connections may have an impact on the quality of the signal as well as the operation of the device. -
Devices That Are Compatible:
When you connect new devices to the signal switch, check to see that their requirements are compatible with those of the switch. Check to see whether the audio and video formats are supported. -
Interference with the Signal:
Be advised that there is a possibility that surrounding electrical equipment may interfere with the transmission. The quality of the audio and video signals may suffer as a result of this. -
The Quality of the Cable:
For uninterrupted transmission of your audio and video signals, invest in high-quality cable. Degradation of the signal might be caused by cables of poor quality. -
Changing Over the Procedures:
Always be sure to exchange everything on the proper occasions, as described in the instructions. Switching between sources suddenly while the equipment is operating might potentially create interruptions or harm. -
Utilization of a Remote Control:
In the event that the signal switch incorporates the capability of a remote control, it is essential that the remote be utilized within the allotted range and that its batteries be in good working order. -
The state of being clean is:
To guarantee the best performance, dust, and other particles should be removed from the signal switch and its ports on a regular basis. -
Pulling the plug:
It is normally safe to keep the signal switch attached even when it is not being used. However, in order to avoid any possible electrical problems, you should disconnect it before putting it away for a lengthy period of time. This is standard procedure. -
Updates to the Firmware:
If your device is capable of receiving firmware upgrades, check the manufacturer’s website for any new releases that could enhance its performance or resolve any problems that may have arisen. -
The Conditions of the Environment:
Ensure that the signal switch is not exposed to wetness, temperatures that are too high, or direct sunlight. -
The electricity that is Static:
Take caution while handling the signal switch, and keep it away from sources of static electricity so as not to risk causing harm to the switch’s delicate components. -
Concerns Regarding Personal Information:
Check the privacy settings of the gadget and think about the information it could gather if it connects with smart features like voice assistants.
