Auditor
Rear Panel/Connections
XLR Connections
Switch off the unit before you begin the process of making the first
or any subsequent connections (rear panel On/Off switch). Neglecting
this can damage either or both your ears and your headphones!
Connect the monitoring signal to the left and right channel XLR input
sockets. Both XLR outputs transmit the monitoring signal unaltered
so that no additional monitoring output is needed for insertion of the
Auditor. Input and output stages are electronically balanced. They en-
sure high common mode rejection and drive long cable connections
(depending on cable capacities and following input stages).
Unbalanced Connections (e. g. RCA, TS Jack)
You can establish unbalanced connections easily and without adap-
tors – for example from CD-Players with RCA outputs or to (HiFi) power
amplifiers with RCA inputs. It is important to pay attention to the cor-
rect polarity of the three XLR wires. The diagram shows the pin wir-
ing of all XLR sockets as well as the correct polarity for unbalanced
connections:
Connections to RCA and TS Jack inputs or outputs are always unbal-
anced. Connections to TRS inputs or outputs may be balanced or un-
balanced. In any case we recommend to use readily configured cables
from XLR to the respective RCA or TS/TRS connector to dispense with
adaptors. Ask your dealer for configured cables. With the diagram
above any audio expert can ensure to select or configure the right ca-
bles for connections from the Auditor to any other device.
