recovery of the digital audio data stream
The 6505 is 5VDC fed and is housed in a DigiTOOLS® enclosure.
3.2 Recommendations for Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Connect only good quality connection cables, thus avoiding 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 and position your
Kramer 6505 away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
Caution – No operator-serviceable parts inside unit.
