5.7 Getting to Know Your FC-4208
The KRAMER FC-4208 Balanced/Unbalanced Audio Transcoder is a bi-directional, versatile
tool, converting between the two most commonly used audio standards. The machine allows gain
or attenuation while transcoding, to compensate for the 14dB change between IHF audio levels
and the newly adopted, balanced DAT input levels. Very low noise and distortion components
are used throughout the machine. The FC-4208 has 4 balanced audio inputs on XLRs and 4
unbalanced audio outputs on the balanced to unbalanced channels, and 4 unbalanced inputs and 4
balanced audio outputs on XLRs on the unbalanced to balanced channels. Each set (8 all
together) has an individual level control for perfect matching.
Front/Rear panel features of the FC-4208 are described in Figure 7 and Table 8.
