Before connecting the C
HARISMA
switch the power off at all
connected units.
C
HARISMA
is equipped with balanced Neutrik TRS stereo jacks
for both inputs and outputs. The input and output stages make
use of the modern SSM precision balancing stages which offer a
common mode rejection better than 87dB.
The pin-wiring of the stereo-jacks is:
Tip =
hot
(+)
Ring =
cold
(–)
Sleeve =
GND
Should the need arise to use the jack connectors in an unba-
lanced system, the ring of the jacks of both the input and output
connectors should be grounded. C
HARISMA
uses the SSM 2141
and SSM 2142 balancing drivers and can be operated unba-
lanced without change in level.
A simple method to operate C
HARISMA
unbalanced is to use
mono-jack plugs for the jack connectors.
C
HARISMA
also offers you a solution to drive your digital 8-
track system with high quality balancing. Sadly enough many
digital 8-track recorders do not offer good balancing stages.
Their common mode rejection (CCMR) sometimes does not
even climb to 45 dB. If the connecting distance from your mixer
to the multitrack recorder exceeds 1,5m, it is wise to connect
C
HARISMA
in between the mixer and the recorder. Place
C
HARISMA
right underneath the recorder and run all wires from
the mixer to C
HARISMA
balanced (stereo-jacks), while the connec-
tions from C
HARISMA
to the recorder is unbalanced (mono-jacks).
