Overview
3 Overview
The VM-1110xl is a high performance balanced audio DA (distribution
amplifier) using XLR connectors. It can be configured as a mono (1:10 or
2x1:5) DA or as a stereo (1:5) DA.
The VM-1110xl features:
Front panel output level trimmer controls
Active Bi-FET amplifying circuitry that ensures hum-free, full-
bandwidth operation
A high-power discrete buffering system providing excellent
performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables1 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 Kramer
VM-1110xl away from moisture, excessive sunlight and dust
