VM-50AN - Getting Started

2 Getting Started

We recommend that you:

Unpack the equipment carefully and save the original box and packaging

materials for possible future shipment

2.1 Achieving the Best Performance

To achieve the best performance:

Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-

performance, high-resolution cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in

signal quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often

associated with low quality cables)

Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils

Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely

influence signal quality

Position your Kramer VM-50AN away from moisture, excessive sunlight and

dust

This equipment is to be used only inside a building. It may only be

connected to other equipment that is installed inside a building.

VM-50AN - Overview

3 Overview

The VM-50AN is a high-performance distribution amplifier for balanced and

unbalanced stereo audio signals. It takes one balanced or unbalanced stereo input

and distributes the signal simultaneously to ten stereo outputs (five balanced and

five unbalanced).

In addition, the VM-50AN features:

A balanced/unbalanced input selection button

Left and right level (gain) controls

Operation as a stand-alone distributor, or as a companion to other Kramer

“50” series products like the VM-50V video DA, or the VM-50YC s-Video DA

The VM-50AN is housed in a desktop sized enclosure. Two units can be rack

mounted side-by-side with the optional RK-1 adapter in a 1U rack space.
