Audio Connections
The XLR connectors (audio in and audio link) of the ES 10 are wired as follows:
Pin 1
= ground
Pin 2
= normal phase ( or “hot”)
Pin 3
= inverted phase (signal- or “cold”)
Always use high quality XLR connectors and shielded signal cables. Using the signal link
connectors, up to 30 ES 10s can be linked without a problem. If more than 30 ES 10s need to
be interconnected, a separate signal driver should be used.
The input stages are electronically balanced. To make optimum use of the balanced input stages
even in unbalanced situations, use balanced signal cables and connect pin 3 to pin 1 at the
output of the preceding apparatus. If this is not possible, connect pin 3 to pin 1 at the input of
the ES 10.
