Russound ADP-1.2
Russound ADP-1.2 Speaker-level to Line-level Adapter
Model: ADP-1.2 | Brand: Russound
1. Producte acabatview
The Russound ADP-1.2 is a speaker-level to line-level adapter designed to convert high-level speaker outputs from an amplifier into low-level line outputs. This allows for connection to devices that require a line-level input, such as external amplifiers or subwoofers, especially in systems where the primary amplifier lacks dedicated pre-amp sortides.
It is specifically recommended for use with Russound CAA66 and MCA-66 systems to obtain line-level outputs for zones without pre-amp outputs. The unit features color-coded detachable 14-gauge snap connectors for easy installation.

5. Instruccions de funcionament
The Russound ADP-1.2 operates passively, converting the high-voltage speaker signal into a low-voltage line-level signal without requiring external power. Once connected, it functions automatically:
- Audio signals from your amplifier's speaker outputs are fed into the ADP-1.2.
- The adapter attenuates and converts these signals into a standard line-level output.
- The line-level signals are then available at the RCA outputs for connection to other audio components.
- No user adjustments or controls are present on the unit.
6. Manteniment
The ADP-1.2 is designed for reliable, maintenance-free operation. To ensure longevity:
- Mantingueu la unitat neta netejant-la amb un drap suau i sec.
- Avoid using liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure proper ventilation around the unit to prevent heat buildup.
- Comproveu periòdicament totes les connexions per assegurar-vos que es mantenen segures.
