RackPack: Transient Designer
9
The Transient Designer is fitted with one XLR input and two XLR out-
puts for balanced operation.
Pin-wiring of all XLR sockets:
Pin 1 = GND, Pin 2 = hot (+), Pin 3 = cold (-)
Discrete balancing stages for both in- and output provide high com-
mon mode rejection and are capable of driving long cables (depend-
ing on the capacity of the cables and the following input balancing
stages).
The illustration shows the correct pin-wiring of the balanced XLR sock-
ets if an unbalanced wiring is required.
Lundahl I/O Transformers
The Input and Output 1 stages may be transformer-balanced if ordered
(please refer to page 26 for detailed information). Otherwise, all
inputs and outputs are balanced electronically. Output 2 cannot be fit-
ted with a transformer. It is actively decoupled and allows for the input
signal to be split into two output signals.
Channel Split
The channel split option through Output 2 always provides alterna-
tives in processing or routing of the input channel. While one output
may be used directly for mixing, the second output can be routed in
any other way—for example to further RackPack modules, to a same
module for LINK mode operation, to other effect units etc.
A very interesting LINK mode application for Transient Designer modules
is described under “Applications/The Transfer Of Dynamic Structures”
on page 16.
