In – Line SymbiLink™ Transmitters
ZAPCO was the first Car Audio manufacturer to embrace balanced
line signal transmission. There is a good deal of information in this manual
that explains the how and why of SymbiLink™ balanced line technology.
While Pro-Audio and High-End Home Audio manufacturers have
adopted balanced line technology, the car audio market is still supporting
the outdated RCA cable system. If SymbiLink™ is substituted for RCA the
potential built into our products will go unrealized by many users.
To ensure that every ZAPCO Reference Series amplifier can realize
its full potential we provide an SLDIN-T.F Balanced Line Transmitter with
every amplifier. Built into this transmitter is also a line driver capable of
boosting signal input up to 12dB (4-times) the output voltage of the source.
This balanced line conversion will improve noise rejection, lower the
inherent system noise floor, reduce distortion, and provide up to 16 volts of
signal output.
Simply attach the SymbiLink™ cable to the transmitter in the length
that fits your system and enjoy the sonic purity of SymbiLink™ Balanced
Technology.
