KAB RSX-1

    The KAB RSX-1 Remote Analog Switch brings a new approach to source switching by separating the switch from the selector. This allows the switch to be connected with the shortest possible leads and the selector to be placed just where it is needed.
The wired remote drives a battery powered latching type relay. This type of relay uses power only when changing positions, so battery life is extended.

The RSX-1 is configurable as a conventional 2 source switch or as a mono - stereo switch. There really is no need for separate phono cartridges when you have a mono stereo switch. But use your imagination because there are lots of ways to use the RSX-1. See Features box below. Also check out our MSX-1 dedicated remote mono swith too.

   Dealers and audio clubs will find the remote concept useful in comparing to pieces of equipment. the remote cable can be extended easily.

Switching is performed using a Panasonic ASX22003 Latching telecom relay. This relay is specifically designed for switching very low level signals using specially plated contacts: Stationary contact: AgPd+Au clad, Movable contact: AgPd

Latching relays are unique in the way they function. Normally, we think of relays as on and off devices using power constantly when on. Latching relays use a mechanical latch to hold the relay in each postition, so power is only used to make the transition. Remove the power and the relay stays until you command it to change. Power is only used in short pulses, making long battery life possible.
