3. The IN and THRU jacks are directly connected as in any typical standalone DI. Since the input impedance of the pT2-500D FET DI is 2.5 Megohms, it does not provide any significant electronic load to the instrument pickup. When connection is made via the THRU jack to an amp or other device, the input impedance of that device will essentially determine the electronic load on the instrument pickup. -
Page 9: A Word About Cables
• Avoid excessive cable length. • Replace damaged connectors. Cable Types There are two styles of audio cables used for connections to the pT2-500D in a 500- series rack: • Shielded / single-conductor type for unbalanced signals (Instrument cables) • Shielded / twisted-pair type for balanced signals ( Microphone / Line level cables) We recommend that all interconnecting cables are wired according to the following standards. -
