A built-in Class D amplifier delivers 3.5 W RMS into an 8 ohm speaker, and two line-level outputs can feed an external amplifier. It mounts in a US single-gang electrical box or RDL WB-1U and suits office distributed sound systems with background music and paging.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/rdlnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/db-sfrc8.jpg\" alt=\"RDL DB-SFRC8 SourceFlex room control station, black\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DB-SFRC8 is the in-wall listening station of the RDL SourceFlex distributed audio system. A front-panel pushbutton steps through up to 8 sources while a 7-segment LED shows the selected channel, with 0 indicating off or paging. A single-turn audio-taper control sets the volume for the room. The internal high-efficiency Class D stage delivers up to 3.5 W RMS into 8 ohms or 6.5 W RMS into 4 ohms, with thermal and short-circuit protection. Two rear-panel line outputs, +4 dBu balanced and -10 dBV unbalanced, can drive an external power amplifier for larger rooms. An installer switch sets the balanced output to a fixed +4 dBu or to a variable level that follows the front-panel control. Power at 24 Vdc and control signals are supplied from the SourceFlex controller over the same wiring, connected on a detachable terminal block. The station installs in a US single-gang box or an \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-wb-1u\"\u003eRDL WB-1U wall box\u003c\/a\u003e, and matches other RDL Decora-style plates such as the \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/creationnetworks.net\/products\/rdl-cp-1\"\u003eRDL CP-1\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003e8-source selection\u003c\/strong\u003e — A pushbutton selects from up to 8 sources with a numeric LED display.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBuilt-in Class D amplifier\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3.5 W RMS into 8 ohms or 6.5 W RMS into 4 ohms from a single wall plate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLine-level outputs\u003c\/strong\u003e — Balanced +4 dBu and unbalanced -10 dBV outputs feed an external amplifier.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFixed or variable line out\u003c\/strong\u003e — The variable setting follows the front-panel volume control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtected output stage\u003c\/strong\u003e — Thermal and short-circuit protection with a detachable speaker terminal block.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSingle-gang mounting\u003c\/strong\u003e — Fits a US single-gang electrical box or RDL WB-1U.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is it typically used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConference room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHuddle room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv style=\"overflow-x:auto;-webkit-overflow-scrolling:touch\"\u003e\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;width:100%;min-width:300px;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:44%\"\u003e\n\u003ccol style=\"width:56%\"\u003e\n\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;vertical-align:top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eDB-SFRC8\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;vertical-align:top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFinish\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;vertical-align:top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInput\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003e10-position detachable terminal block\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px;vertical-align:top\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDisplay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003e7-segment red LED (0 = off or Paging;
