Unbalancing a Line
In most studio, stage, and sound reinforcement situ-
ations, there is a combination of balanced and unbal-
anced inputs and outputs on the various pieces of
equipment. This usually will not be a problem in making
connections.
• When connecting a balanced output to an unbal-
anced input, be sure the signal high (hot) connec-
tions are wired to each other, and that the balanced
signal low (cold) goes to the ground (earth)
connection at the unbalanced input. In most cases,
the balanced ground (earth) will also be connected
to the ground (earth) at the unbalanced input. If
there are ground-loop problems, this connection
may be left disconnected at the balanced end.
XLR Connectors
Channels 1-4 use 3-pin female XLR connectors on the
MIC inputs. They are wired as follows, according to stan-
dards specifi ed by the AES (Audio Engineering Society).
