- Configuring for OperationThe RB-OA3 can be used in both single (MASTER) and multiple expansion modes.
- Single (MASTER) Mode When used as a single (MASTER) unit, the RB-OA3 is used to switch 3 stereo busses between 3 studios, allowing them to share the same transmission path and peripheral devices such as hybrids or profanity delays. A single unit must always be configured as a MASTER unit.
- Serial PortsConnect the serial ports of the MASTER and BUS EXPANSION SLAVE units together using a standard RJ45 network cable (not a cross-over cable).Studio & Bus (4 Unit) Expansion

Mic Inputs
The XLR 3 pin sockets used for the microphone are electronically balanced. They have the
following connections:
Pin 1: Screen
Pin 2: Phase
Pin 3: Non-phase
Input Gain
Recessed pre-set potentiometers allow for adjustment of the gain of the microphone
inputs. This provides a gain range of 36dB to 75dB which enables the use of dynamic and
powered microphones. Connect the mic input and adjust the gain until the line output is at
the level that you need.
