Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can an electret condenser microphone work with this unit?

A: No, the RDL ST-DA3 1 x 3 Line-Level Distribution Amplifier is for line-level audio only. It does not have a mic input or the ability to supply voltage to a condenser microphone. You would need to use a separate mic preamp or mixer to connect the mic, then connect the output from the preamp or mixer to the input on the amp.

Q: 2. Can this be used to amplify a signal over a long speaker cable? I have a 5.1 system installed, but since the left front and left back speakers have longer wires, their signal is lower. My system allows me to boost the signal to these speakers, but it's not enough. I need more signal to these two speakers.

A: The RDL ST-PA6 is designed to connect from a line level device. It is not able to be used in line with speaker level input and output.

Q: 3. this amplifier is 110 or 220v ?

A: The RDL RU-MLD4 - 1x4 Mic/Line Distribution Amplifier does require a 110 or 220V power source but rather uses a 24 to 33 VDC @ 80mA source via terminal block wiring or optional power supply. The RDL PS-24AS Switching Power Supply (BH #RDPS24AS) is available as a separate item for use with the RU-MLD4 and specifies compatibility with source connections between 100-240VAC: https://bhpho.to/39KBnoY

Q: 4. Do you have a method of delaying the audio switch for 500 MS?

A: I'm afraid not within the unit itself. Normal On: 15 us (Fast) 70 ms (Soft) is as long as it gets.

Q: 5. Is this equipment and it's power cord enabled / compatible to work in United Arab Emirates?

A: This product runs off of DC power. 24 to 33 Vdc @ 55 mA.

Q: 6. Can this be used with an 8 Ohm speaker rated at 25w RMS?

A: If you are playing only backgound music then its fine maybe if you need a speaker in a small area like a restroom or a small room then its fine. keep in mind the RDL PA6 is a mono amp 6 watts, its mainly design for a 8 watt or 12 watt 8 ohm speaker. keep volume low so you dont over heat Amp becuase your speaker is way too powerful. If you want more volume from from your speaker maybe look for a 50 watt 8ohm amp to match your speaker .

Q: 7. What is the length of travel for the center column, itself?

A: The pedestal itself (often called a center column or riser) of the E-Image Air-Controlled Pedestal Kit (B&H# EIEI7100HKIT) can be raised up or lowered over a range of 40" (101cm). At lowest, it can be 47" (119cm) and at highest it can be 87" (221cm). This is demonstrated beginning at about 6 minutes into their video on our product page or viewed on YouTube here: https://bit.ly/38sGedu

Q: 8. Is it rack mountable?

A: If you use a rack mount shelf to set it on.

Q: 9. Need a low cost leveler for FCC Part 15 FM transmitter because input levels are not even. Will this work and how is frequency response affected?

A: This will help level the microphone audio. It will boost low levels and attenuate highs. It shouldn't affect audio frequency response for speech range.

Q: 10. Is this product TAA complaint?

A: The RDL STA-2A Dual High-Gain Line Amplifier Made in the U.S.A. and is TAA Compliant.

Nice and simple DA that works well for balanced signals. Wish it came with it's own PSU but eh.

The ACRs we use are needed to prevent noise from being injected into the paging systems output when not needed. They control the proper output from our security voice output when it is needed. They work really well for that need. Can not think of anything bad about the units.

Using this to control wall speaker volume remotely to a stereo receiver in the next room. Works great working at line levels without having to have a huge high-powered speaker L-pad in the wall that eventually gets scratchy sounding and dead spots. Made by RDL which I've used in many custom installations in the past. Very reliable products, practically bulletproof! Had to get 2 for stereo.

This item worked as expected. It was purchased to amp a line level signal going into an amp. Just make sure you purchase the power supply as well. It is sold separately from the device itself.

This unit performed as described. However, I needed one that had a much shorter delay so I returned it and promptly got a refund.

This item is a good device for if you to splice audio signals that have to have a common output. i am using this for a customer of mine in a sports bar for hooking up a jukebox and internet radio to a common mixer channel. For something of this nature its good for that. I understand you can use these in multiples but for what Im using it for it does the job!!

Just needed to have one ceiling mounted microphone output go to two destinations. Nothing fancy. That describes this item - nothing fancy. It gets the job done in a small space, don't need special training to install- it's easy!
