Kramer VM-10XL/110V 1:10 Composite Video & Stereo Audio Distribution Amplifier

The Kramer VM-10xl is a state-of-the-art, broadcast quality video audio distribution amplifier. It has looping video and audio stereo inputs, splitting each to 10 outputs. The user may choose unbalanced stereo or balanced mono via a front panel switch. The output audio and video levels, as well as video cable equalization (EQ) may be adjusted via trimmers accessible from the front panel. The video outputs are divided into groups of 5 outputs, where each group may be individually trimmed for level and cable EQ, thereby achieving different compensations for different cable lengths.

The machine is an upgrade of the VM-10ARII, the industry workhorse, raising the bandwidth from 224 MHz to well over 360 MHz, thus ensuring total transparency for high frequency signals such as component video, RGB, HDTV, etc. Several VM-10xl units may be chained through the looping inputs. Output video signals are DC or AC coupled (user selectable) for maximum flexibility. The machine is dependable, rugged, and fits in one vertical space of a standard 19" rack.
