TRANSMIT 2
STEREO BALANCED LINE OUTPUTS
3
4 SIGNAL INPUTS
Connect the signals you want to send to the
outside world here. Note that the inputs are AC-
coupled, so any DC offset that may be present is
removed.
If only the left input socket is used, its signal is
sent to the right as well. In this configuration, you
have two identical mono outputs which can be
sent to different devices. The same signal will also
be heard in both channels of the headphones.
5 MAIN LEVEL KNOB
This knob is used to set the level for both XLR
outputs. The range is −∞ to +6 dB. With standard
10 V
pp
input signals, it will typically be set near the
centre position to reach +4 dBu.
6 EXTERNAL OUTPUTS
These are the main balanced outputs. Make sure
to connect them to line inputs: dedicated
microphone inputs may also use XLR sockets,
but typically have too much gain to accept line
level signals.
Transmit 2 can also drive single-ended inputs if
needed, for example when using XLR to mono
jack cables. It will do so without the 6 dB level
drop you normally get when driving a single-
ended input from a balanced source, although
you lose the benefits of a balanced
interconnection and 6 dB of headroom.
7 GROUND SHORT SOLDER BRIDGE
Transmit 2 features separate signal and chassis
ground planes, joined together at the front panel.
This helps to avoid ground currents running
through the circuitry and causing audible
interference, provided the module is installed in
a Eurorack enclosure which is properly earth-
connected at its chassis.
In sub-optimal installations, shorting together
the ground planes on the rear of the circuit board
at the ‘ground short’ solder bridge point may
improve performance.
