Kramer 482XL Balanced / Unbalanced Stereo Audio Transcoder

Streamline audio integration across AV, security and monitoring systems with the Kramer Electronics 482XL Balanced/Unbalanced Stereo Audio Transcoder. This pro audio processor simultaneously converts balanced stereo to unbalanced stereo and vice versa, removing the need for extra DI boxes or complex cabling when connecting mixers, intercoms, recorders and surveillance devices. Built for installers and system integrators, the 482XL delivers clean, low-noise performance with up to 95 dB S/N (balanced→unbalanced) and 87 dB S/N (unbalanced→balanced), and independent L/R level controls for precise gain alignment.

Compact and installation-friendly, the unit uses secure terminal-block connectors and the Kramer TOOLS form factor — three units mount side-by-side in a single 1U rack space — and runs on 12V DC for flexible powering options. Whether updating a security monitoring room, integrating audio into a surveillance DVR, or bridging consumer and pro audio in a live sound or recording application, the 482XL reduces setup time and preserves audio integrity. Add the Kramer 482XL to your AV or security rack to simplify signal routing and ensure consistent, professional audio results.
