Sealed touch controls and a rugged metal ULTRASTYLE enclosure hold up to heavy public use. A safety feature resets volume to a safe level when headphones are unplugged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow does it work?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/rdlnet.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/01\/sas-hc8.jpg\" alt=\"RDL SAS-HC8 SourceFlex Headphone Control Station, 8 Sources\" style=\"max-width:100%;height:auto\" loading=\"lazy\"\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEach SAS-HC8 has a source selector with a 7-segment red LED numeric display showing the selected channel, 1 through 8, with 0 indicating off or paging. Momentary buttons select the source and ramp the volume up or down, with a nominal 5-second ramp across a 40 dB adjustment range. The buttons are replaceable and protected by moisture-resistant polycarbonate, which keeps debris and moisture away from the internal circuitry. Two output jacks accept either 1\/4 in (6.35 mm) or 1\/8 in (mini) headphone plugs, and the amplified output delivers 200 mW RMS into 100 Ω. If headphones are left unplugged, the internal processor resets volume to a safe listening level to avoid a loud audio burst at the next plug-in. The station connects to the SourceFlex system controller through a 6-position detachable terminal block that carries audio and dc control signals. An included bracket with clamps mounts it to a flat surface or to tubing 0.75 in to 1.5 in (1.9 to 3.8 cm) in diameter.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhat are the key features?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEight-source selection\u003c\/strong\u003e — A numeric LED display shows the selected channel from 1 to 8.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSealed touch controls\u003c\/strong\u003e — Moisture-resistant polycarbonate protects the replaceable buttons and circuitry.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSafe-volume reset\u003c\/strong\u003e — Volume returns to a safe level whenever headphones are left unplugged.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTwo headphone jack sizes\u003c\/strong\u003e — Outputs accept 1\/4 in and 1\/8 in (mini) headphone plugs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFlexible mounting\u003c\/strong\u003e — The included clamp bracket fits flat surfaces or tubing from 0.75 in to 1.5 in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetal ULTRASTYLE enclosure\u003c\/strong\u003e — The rugged metal case stands up to fitness and public environments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWhere is it typically used?\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMulti-purpose room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTraining room\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGovernment space\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCommercial meeting space\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\u003eDisplay\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"border:1px solid #ddd;padding:6px\"\u003e7-segment red LED (0 = off or paging;
