INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION
The LOUROE IF-2, IF-4 and IF-8 are two, four zone and eight zone audio
interface adapters designed for connecting up to two (IF-2), four (IF-4) or eight
(IF-8) Louroe microphones with:
! DVR’s
! IP Network Cameras with audio inputs
! Video Servers with audio inputs
! PC Sound Card Modules
The input side of the IF-2/IF-4/IF-8 has terminal blocks for receiving the wiring
from the microphones. The output side has RCA types of output. The
following cables and adaptors are included with each IF series.
RCA to RCA type - For connection to a DVR, etc. with RCA audio inputs.
RCA to 3.5mm mono type adaptor - For connection to an IP Network
Camera, etc. with a 3.5mm audio input
AUDIO INTERFACE ADAPTERS
IF-2 AUDIO
INTERFACE ADAPTER
(two audio inputs and outputs)
IF-4 AUDIO
INTERFACE ADAPTER
(four audio inputs and outputs)
These three units also contain individual “audio level control” potentiometers
for audio gain adjustment. Output from the Louroe microphone can be
increased 10dB or decreased -30dB.
WIRING CONNECTIONS
IF-8 AUDIO
MICROPHONE TO INPUT SIDE OF IF-2/IF-4/IF-8
INTERFACE ADAPTER
(eight audio inputs and outputs)
All Louroe microphones contain a terminal block
marked A, B, C
A = 12Vdc power (Red)
B = Audio output (Black)
C = Ground (Bare)
If using recommended wiring, connect as follows:
Red wire goes to Terminal A of microphone (12Vdc power)
Black wire goes to Terminal B of microphone (Audio Output)
Bare wire goes to Terminal C of microphone (Ground)
After all microphones have been connected, bring other end of wiring to the IF-2/IF-4/IF-8 location
and connect each microphone to the terminal blocks of the unit marked A, B, C. Be sure to properly
match wire colors. If using cable from other manufacturers, color code may vary.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
CONNECTION BETWEEN IF-2/IF-4/IF-8 AND DVR (OR OTHER AUDIO RECEIVING DEVICES)
The output side of IF-2/IF-4/IF-8 has an RCA output per microphone with two types of connectors
1. RCA to RCA type cable; for connection to a DVR, etc. with RCA audio inputs
2. RCA to 3.5mm mono adaptor: for connection to a DVR, IP Network Camera or Video Server
that has 3.5mm audio inputs.
If the receiving device contains RCA type “audio in” jacks, then connect from Audio Out of IF-2/IF-4/IF-8 to
APPLYING POWER TO THE IF-2/IF-4/IF-8
Audio In of DVR, using the provided RCA connector cables.
If the receiving device contains 3.5mm mono audio inputs, connect 3.5mm RCA to mono adaptor to one
end of the RCA cable (supplied) and plug that end to the IP camera or video server. Connect the RCA
end of the cable to the output of the IF-2/IF-4/IF-8.
Included with the units are:
2, 4 or 8 RCA to RCA cables
2, 4 or 8 RCA to3.5mm mono adaptors
Included with the IF-2/IF-4/IF-8 is a power supply (120V/12Vdc). Connect the small end of the 90° female
plug into the 12Vdc jack, located on the input side. Then connect the two-prong large end into a
standard 110/120V electrical outlet.
Turn ON/OFF power switch, located behind green power LED to ON position. The green LED will illuminate,
indicating power to the system. The system will now provide audio to the DVR, Soundcard Module, IP
Network Camera, etc.
AUDIO LEVEL ADJUSTMENT
Located on the input side are potentiometers (round, with adjustment arrow) for each microphone. This is
for adjusting the audio gain and to prevent overdriving or underdriving the audio signal.
The adjustment arrows are shipped in the straight-up position. Turn slowly counterclockwise to lower
the gain, and clockwise to increase. This will provide the desired level of audio signal into the Audio
Receiving Device (DVR, Soundcard Module, etc.). A full turn clockwise increases the gain to 10dB. A
full turn counterclockwise will decrease the gain -30dB.
AUDIO TEST SWITCH
The purpose of this switch is to indicate the presence of audio and to assure the user that the IF-2/IF-4 or IF-
8 is driving the audio signals into the audio input of receiving device (DVR, IP Network Camera, Video
Server, Soundcard module, etc.)
Located on the audio output side of IF-2/IF-4/IF-8 is a DIP switch labeled Audio Test Switch. To the left
of the switch is a red LED marked Audio Indicator.
For testing:
1) Select a zone that has a microphone connected to the microphone terminal block.
IF-2 utilizes pins 1&2. IF-4 utilizes pins 1-4. IF-8 utilizes pins 1-8.
2) Push pin to the ON position. The red LED will illuminate, indicating audio is present. With
short bursts of audio, the LED will flicker and with continuous flow of audio LED
illumination is constant. Only one microphone can be tested at a time
NOTE: When testing is complete, all pins on DIP switch
NOTE: When testing is complete, all pins on DIP switch must be in the OFF position
