Sonifex RB-LU4 Quad Stereo Balanced to Unbalanced Converter

Sonifex RB-LU4 Quad Stereo Balanced to Unbalanced Converter

The RB-LU4 is a 1U rack-mount quad stereo unit for interfacing professional balanced line levels to domestic or semi-pro unbalanced equipment, e.g. for connecting a pro satellite receiver to a consumer hi-fi system.

All connections are on the rear panel.

The eight balanced XLR-3 inputs have an impedance of 20kohms and are routed to eight unbalanced RCA outputs with an output impedance of The output gain can be individually adjusted for left and right channels by using pre-set potentiometers accessible through the rear panel.

A LED power indicator on the front panel displays the power supply connection.
