Studiophile BX5a
English
Unbalanced 1/4” wiring can be done with either a two- or three-conductor (TS or TRS) plug. A two-conductor
(TS) plug automatically grounds the signal negative input, whereas a three-conductor (TRS) plug, wired
unbalanced, provides the option of leaving the negative input open or grounded. We recommend that
you ground the unused negative input (this can be done by wiring the ring and sleeve of the TRS plug
together).
The TRS input is summed through a balanced input amplifier with the XLR input, allowing both inputs to
be used simultaneously. Input specifications apply to both.
