3 Overview
The Kramer RB-8 is a high-performance, high-voltage power supply that
supplies power to up to eight external units. Each output channel includes a
power socket and a 2-pin terminal block control port. When the control port
is connected, the contact-closure supplies power to that channel. LEDs on
the front panel indicate which ports are supplying power to their devices.
The
RB-8 is housed in a 19-inch, 1U rack-mountable enclosure, and is
powered by a 100–240V AC universal switching power supply. The RB-8
is a model for use in America with 110V AC American power sockets, and
the RB-8E is for use in Europe with 220V AC European power sockets.
“ RB-8” is printed on the front panel of both models.
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables 1 to avoid interference,
deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated
noise levels (often associated with low quality cables).
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that
may adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer
RB-8 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
