## Questions & Answers

**Q: It's certainly not 5 x 5 x 5 inches. It's obviously 1U. What is the depth?**
A: the unity is about 3.5 inches deep. It is mounted in a 19" rack. One unit high.

**Q: I'd like to buy this model "ra163 / 3ea", and we need to get before 20-nov. could you ship before 15th-nov? if possible i definitely pay for it.**
A: No sorry wait on parts to build.
Thank you!

**Q: If i used the right adapters/cables, could i use this to send a mixer's stereo outputs to a set of monitors, a sonos port, and a set of headphones?**
A: It’s just a splitter so yes. I’m using it as a monitor out to record on a computer, 2 CD burners, and an input for our video recording.

**Q: could i use this to power passive speakers if i used an adapter to convert from XLR to speaker wire?**
A: No. You need watts to power a passive speaker. The RA163 provides milliwatts (at best). Changing the impedance will not change the power level.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent!
*by T***I on October 8, 2015*

I'm in love with the rolls rolls! I use this Rolls to distribute 4 mornitors and they smash my room everyday. I just want to try other way to connect my monitor together and this one is a very well example to try. Comfortable price too!

### ⭐ Came used!
*by J***E on August 10, 2024*

The power cord clearly was the wrong one and also showed signs of being rack mounted. Small scratches on the bottom and also the +20 DB was engaged and all the knobs were already in a non uniform setting. I have asked for a replacement.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Nice Unit, but Not Really Stereo
*by P***R on July 2, 2024*

I have three of these which I use in sound reinforcement systems to distribute signal to power amplifiers. The units are quiet enough and flat enough for sound reinforcement applications, and have plenty of available gain and output level. The only real problem is the lack of stereo level controls, so that the left and right channels of a stereo signal will track each other in level. In what I'll call "Dual Mode", what you have is two mono 4x1 D/As, with separate level controls for left and right for each input. This can get very confusing in a live situation, and makes it harder to keep the two channels of a stereo pair in balance when adjusting levels. And you would not want a non-expert user to try to adjust levels in a stereo zoned system, such as a restaurant. Other than that, these are great units for their purpose.
