Introduction
The Rane BB22 Balance Buddy is a handy professional-grade tool used to provide
isolation and convert unbalanced -10 dBV consumer level RCA outputs to ba4
dBu professional XLR inputs. The BB22 converts one pair from -10 dBV to +4 dBu. There
are two male XLR connectors and two RCA jacks.
Unbalanced lines should always be kept less than
10 feet (3 meters) to prevent
undesirable effects such as hum and noise. The BB22 allows conversion to balanced lines
that can be run across a studio or a house without loss of signal quality. For instance, a
BB22 may be mounted to the back of a jukebox, converting its unbalanced outputs to
balanced lines and feeding an amplifier in another room.
Signal-to-noise performance is preserved using the BB22, since it uses only passive
transformers to convert signal levels, adding no additional noise. Use of professional
quality nickel core (“80” Ni) transformers guarantee low distortion, wide bandwidth, and
high signal level handling capability.
The BB22’s isolation transformers provide a quick and affordable answer to most jobs
requiring signal level conversion and output balancing.
