Kramer Electronics has announced the introduction of the VS-106 Audio Switcher/Amplifier.
The Kramer VS-106 is a switcher/amplifier for unbalanced stereo audio signals originally designed for the demonstration of speaker systems in a retail environment.
The unit mechanically switches a single stereo line input to one output that can be either one of ten unpowered unbalanced audio stereo line outputs, or to one of six 8 Watt RMS per channel amplified speaker outputs.
The VS-106 allows the side by side demonstration and evaluation of various powered speakers (also known as amplified or active speakers) and non-powered speakers utilizing a single audio source.
The VS-106 has one unbalanced stereo audio input on RCA connectors.
On the output side, the unit has six powered speaker outputs on 4-pin push-type speaker terminals and ten line level unbalanced stereo audio outputs on RCA connectors.
The VS-106 therefore offers 1×10 unpowered, mechanical line-to-line switching, or 1×6 amplified line-to-speaker switching in one convenient product.
The amplified outputs of this unique switcher/amplifier are controlled by a speaker volume knob on the front panel.
The VS-106 operates with a 12V DC power supply, and is housed in a standard 19” 1U rack mount size, with rack “ears” included.
The VS 106 is available in the United States at a list price of $1045.00 per unit and is currently in stock and available from Kramer Electronics sales companies.
