Connecting the CDC seven to unbalanced sources and
destinations
Although the CDC seven will generally be used exclusively with balanced
(analogue) audio sources and destinations, it may be occasionally be necessary
to connect unbalanced devices. Cadac recommends that the following wiring
protocols are followed:
Unbalanced sources – connect to a balanced input by joining pins 1 and 3 of the
mating XLR connector. The signal ‘hot’ should go to pin 2, and the cable screen
to pins 1 and 3.
Unbalanced destinations – connect signal ‘hot’ to pin 2 and the cable screen to
pin 3. Do not connect pin 1.
