Unbalanced Connections 

 
 
 

 

 
 
Unbalanced lines are usually treated the same as balanced because the 2Bus LT will let 
the signal through while isolating the equipment grounds. If a buzz develops in the 
speakers when the input cable is connected to LT but goes away when the input cable is 
unplugged, that means the source equipment needs a ground reference from the LT. 
 
 

 

 
 
The way to do this is to close the ‘input shield lift’ jumper, located on the main audio 
board where the input wires connect. These tactics rarely need to be performed but if they 
do, please work on a well lighted table or workbench. We always clean off enough space 
to have plenty of room so as to not lose screws and tools. Using a cloth or other pad 
underneath the equipment will prevent scratches and damage both to the gear and to the 
table. There are also input shield lift jumpers for the Expansion inputs. 
 
 
 

   

If one is uncomfortable with opening gear and changing jumpers or making 

adjustments, please seek qualified help if necessary.

 

   

If adjustments or jumper changes are required, please disconnect the mains plug 

before opening the top
