CABLES
CABLES
Type 1
Type 2
Type 3
Connecting to balanced equipment.
When connecting to C300 outputs to downstream devices with balanced inputs you MUST use
mono/unbalanced plugs in the C300 outputs.
Type 1 and Type 2 cables
are used when
C300 is used as channel insert effects with
mixing consoles that has unbalanced insert
points on 1/4” stereo jacks.
Type 1
The Standard split cable or “insert-cable” is the
commonly used cable with products like C300.
This type of cable will work perfectly well with
most setups.
Type 2
Many mixing desks do not feature balanced
insert points and thereby downgrade these
signals compared to the balanced main inputs.
The result is potentially hum and noise induced
in the insert cables.
The C300 has special designed ground sensing
inputs and outputs, which are "enabled" by
using the ground-sensing split cable.
The use of this cable makes the C300 collect
and deliver an optimal signal "to the door step"
of the mixing desk and thereby raise the
performance of these connections
The ground-sensing feature on the C300 is
invoked by using the ground-sensing split
cable.
C300 can be connected with standard insert cables but in some situations a better signal to
noise ratio level can be obtained using slightly unconventional cable types.
Warning!
Do
NOT
use balanced cables from the C300
outputs. This may introduce unwanted hum or
noise.
It is a common problem that you will
loose 6dB of signal when connecting
unbalanced equipment to balanced.
This is not the case with the C300 if
you use the cables as described in this
section.
