The Extron MLS 100 A Switcher is a compact, four-input stereo audio switcher. Inputs one through four provide unbalanced audio while an additional input is an active auxiliary line level mono audio input that can be mixed with any of the other four selectable inputs. When used with a TouchLink® Control System or MediaLink® Controller, input selection and volume control are easily achieved using RS-232 or the controller's user interface. Input selection can also be controlled using the MLS 100 A switcher's front panel buttons.
Housed in a quarter rack width metal enclosure, the MLS 100 A is ideal for installation in podiums and other space-constrained areas.
The CSR 6 Captive Screw to RCA Audio Adapter is available as an optional output adaptor, converting the captive screw output of the MLS 100 A to a pair of female RCA connectors.
Features
- Inputs: Four switchable inputs on captive screw connectors
- Output: Captive screw connector
