CONNECTING A SURROUND CONTROLLER 
TO THE BALANCED INPUTS ON YOUR A 52

Left and Right Balanced Input Jacks

Balanced connections will give you the best sound. If your surround controller has balanced 
XLR output jacks, we recommend that you connect them to these inputs. Refer to the Balanced
and Unbalanced Lines in the Technically Speaking section for additional information about why
we recommend using balanced lines.

What You’ll Need:

Five balanced interconnect cables with XLR connectors

A surround controller with balanced output connectors

Before Connecting

Leave the A 52’s AC cord disconnected until you have made all other connections to prevent
any surprise burst of sound.

Make sure that all your cables are long enough so they are not strained or stretched 
once they are connected.

Make sure the 

Balanced - Unbalanced Inputs

selector switch on the rear of the A 52 is 

in its 

Balanced

(upper) position. The 

Ground

switch should be in its 

Normal

(lower) position.

To Connect

1

Plug the male end of the first balanced interconnect cable into the 

Balanced Ch 1 input

jack on the A 52. 

2

Plug the female end of the cable into the balanced output jack for the channel on your 
surround controller that you wish to correspond to Ch 1 on your A 52.

Repeat steps 1 and 2 above to connect 

Ch 2, Ch 3, Ch 4, and Ch 5

.

YOU SHOULD KNOW

Balanced XLR Jacks and Their Pin Configuration

The balanced inputs of the A 52 use XLR jacks that conform to the industry standard of:
Pin 1: Ground, Pin 2: Positive (+), Pin 3: Negative (–). The balanced outputs on some com-
ponents use terminals with 3 screws instead of  XLR jacks. These are compatible with the
A 52 as long as you match the bare wires to the corresponding pins on the XLR plug: + to
pin 2, - to pin 3, and Ground to pin 1.
