Datasat RS20i Installation And Operating Manual page 119

Datasat Digital Entertainment offers a DB25 male to female cable, 3-feet long, for hook-up (P/N
9022H51901). If wiring your own cable, the following criteria must be met:
1. Cable must be double shielded to conform to FCC\CE RF radiation emission limits.
Ground shield on the RS20i end.
2. Conductors must be 28-AWG or larger.
3. Choose a paired AES/EBU Digital Audio Cable (such as Belden 7890A). To prevent
signal degradation, cable length should be kept as short as possible. If the cable is
being run through conduit, it is recommended that it be tested before installing,
especially if approaching the maximum length stated in the chosen cable's spec.

Note: RS20i Analog channels are designed to be balanced, not single ended, for
highest sound quality. If wiring single ended, wire only to (+) and ground. The (-) side of
the channels should not be connected. Do not short the (-) sides of the channels to
ground, which will degrade sound quality and cause the RS20i to overheat.
