Many radio stations and studios incorporate mid level domestic audio equipment such as CD
players & recorders, FM/ DAB Tuners, PCs tape machines etc as they provide reasonable value
for money in comparison to professional versions. The output of such devices need to be
correctly interfaced with a professional or broadcast audio desk.
In this example the U2B8 will be located near the domestic devices (often a long way from
studio in a racks room) as it is prudent to keep the unbalanced audio cables as short as
practicable.
The U2B8 is performing both balance conversion and allowing long balanced cable distances
to be achieved to the studio.
It is also adding gain to lift the low domestic output levels of the equipment to a suitable level
for the professional mixing desk.
