9242 Product Manual (V1.1)
Overview
The 9242 is a Analog Audio Distribution Amplifier with Remote Gain Control designed for broadcast
use. It can be used as either a mono 1x8, or two channel (stereo) 1x4 audio DA. When used with the
standard RM20-9142-B Standard-Width Rear Module, it provides eight copies of the single (mono)
input signal or four copies each of the two (stereo) inputs.
The RM20-9142-C/S Split Rear Module can support two 9242 cards, each operating as a 1x4 audio
DA. This can be used to separate left and right stereo pair signals to be amplified in separate paths for
critical signals.
The 9242 is also ideal to distribute Timecode (LTC) throughout a facility. In single channel, 1x8 mode,
the 9242 provides eight copies of the incoming single when used with the RM20-9142-B Standard-
Width Rear Module or four copies of the incoming signal when used with the RM20-9142-C/S Split
Rear Module.
