Getting Started

2.1 Quick Start

This quick start chart summarizes the basic setup and operation steps.

Overview

3 Overview

The VS-406 is a switcher/amplifier for unbalanced analog audio stereo

signals. The unit mechanically switches the single line input to one output,

either one of ten unpowered unbalanced audio stereo line outputs, or one of

six amplified speaker outputs. The unit does not switch to line and speaker

outputs simultaneously.

More specifically, the VS-406 features:

•Unpowered 1x10 mechanical line to line switching

•Amplified 1x6 line to speaker switching

•A loudspeaker volume knob

•A power ON indication LED

•A 24V DC power supply

•Standard 19” 1 U rack mount size

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables1

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality and position your Kramer VS-406

away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust

to avoid interference,

deterioration in signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise

levels (often associated with low quality cables)

player) to the LINE INPUT L and R RCA connectors.

2. Connect the LINE OUTPUT RCA connectors to up to 10 unbalanced

stereo audio acceptors (for example, stereo audio recorders).

3. Connect the OUT (SPKR) connectors to up to 6 speaker pairs (use only

passive, unpowered speakers).

4. Connect the 24V DC power supply.

To operate the VS-406:

1. Press the appropriate button on the LINE OUT SELECTOR (from 1 to
