Setup
The MD1 can be quite useful on stage or in the studio for connecting unbal-
anced audio sources or instruments with pickups. By utilizing the MD1, the
signal can be sent cleanly for long distances while benefiting from the low
noise and common mode rejection provided by the balanced low-level output.
The diagram following shows a typical hook-up for an acoustic guitar connect-
ed to an acoustic guitar amplifier and a PA system.
