Overview

3 Overview

The VS-3232A is a high-performance 32x32 matrix switcher (router) for

analog balanced stereo audio signals. The unit can route any or all inputs to

any or all outputs simultaneously.

The VS-3232A features:

•Clean switching (noise free)

•Level control for each input and output

•An S/N ratio of over 100dB at +20dBu/1kHz and a linearity better than

0.1dB from -25dBu to +20dBu

•THD and noise below 0.03%

•A flat frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz (±0.1dB)

•The ability to operate as a standalone audio router or as a companion

router to the VP-3232V(xl)

•The ability when connected to the VP-3232V(xl), to operate in audio-follow-

video or breakaway mode

•Flexible control options: front panel, remote control via RS-232

(K-Router™ Windows®-based software is included), RS-485, Ethernet

and IR remote (included)

•A TAKE button for executing multiple switches all at once

•60 memory locations to store the machine's full status such as presets to be

recalled and executed when needed. One "Default" setup can be executed

immediately by pressing the default button

•Front panel lockout

•Two optional communication protocols, the Kramer 2000 and Sierra

ASCII protocols (partial)

•A worldwide power supply, 100-240V AC on a standard 19” rack mount

size, with 2U Rack "ears" included

To achieve the best performance:

•Use only good quality connection cables to avoid interference,

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

levels (often associated with low quality cables)

•Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may

adversely influence signal quality and position your VS-3232A away from

moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
