The following graphics shows some of the different possibilities of connection, relying
on the type of the power amplifier input signal, balanced or unbalanced and according to
the ground configuration of the equipment (floating or ground-referenced).
UNBALANCED OUTPUT: This type of connection will be used when the power amplifier
doesn't provide of balanced input. If it is possible, will be used the connection type 1.
1) Using twin-lead shielded cable:
2) Using single conductor coax cable:
BALANCED OUTPUT:
GROUND LINK
In some installations, it might be necessary to isolate the crossover electric ground, from
the system mains earth, in order to avoid ground loops, that could generate unwanted
noises, for this reason, the crossover provides an EARTH-LINK switch placed at the rear panel
in order to lift the mains earth from the crossover electric ground.
