7.1.2 Transformer Balanced Outputs (Optional)

In contrast to electronic balancing, the use of transformer-balanced outputs offers the advantage of galvanic
separation between units. Electrical potential differences and ground loops in audio installations do not
therefore impair the performance of the units.
The transformer-balanced outputs, commonly used in radio and TV engineering, can also be fitted retrospec-
tively upon request. The BEHRINGER transformer OT-1 is designed to the highest exacting standards and is
available as an accessory.
The audio inputs and outputs on the BEHRINGER AUTOCOM PRO are fully balanced. If possible, connect the
unit to other devices in a balanced configuration to allow for maximum interference immunity.
