5.2 Getting to Know Your VS-55A Switcher

The Kramer

VS-55A is a high performance 5x1 switcher for stereo audio signals. Using RCA

connectors, one of up to five sources can be routed to an output. The

VS-55A can be used as an

independent audio switcher, but is also designed to easily link with other

VS-55 series Kramer

switchers such as the

VS-55V for composite video, or the VS-55YC for s-Video, to form “audio-

follow-video” systems.

The

VS-55A also provides an EXT connector, which allows several units to be combined to form

larger switching systems. For example, two units will form a 10x1, three will form a 15x1, etc. A

12VDC-power supply is included for typical operation, but the optional model

VA-50P can power up

to six Kramer devices requiring 12VDC. All Kramer

VM-50 and VS-55 series products can be rack-

mounted using the model

RK-50R rack kit which holds two units

in one or two vertical rack spaces.

Panel features of the

VS-55A are described in Figure and Table .
