Used, in good cosmetic condition. In my testing I
was unable to obtain a response to commands sent to the
RS-232 Serial port. Please assume that the serial
input does not work. It does respond to front
panel button presses as expected. Other methods of
control have not been tested and should be assumed to be
unsupported. With 9V DC/115V AC Power Supply. No
unpictured cables, accessories or documents are included.
Description
- The SS 2.1 passively switches or routes a variety of
electrical signals to a destination.
- The SS 2.1 selects any one of 2 stereo inputs to a single
stereo output.
- The SS 2.1 provides PASSIVE switching through gold contact
relays. The passive switching means that the unit can route
a signal in either direction (any one of 2 stereo inputs to
a single destination, or a single source to any one of 2
destinations).
- Due to the passive nature of the switching, any input
level and impedance can be used. Inputs may be balanced or
unbalanced, while output levels,impedance, distortion, noise
and balancing will match that of the selected input.
- In addition to the normal use with audio signals, the unit
can also be used to switch digital signals and telephone
lines.
