Unbalanced Connections (Analog Audio) - AudioArts Engineering Audioarts 08 Technical Manual

One TRS jack is provided on the right side of
the console frame for the operator to plug in a set of
headphones. This is wired as a standard headphone
jack, with the left signal on the tip, the right signal on
the ring, and the sleeve connected to ground.

Unbalanced Connections (analog audio)

ANALOG INPUTS – Wire to the console (other than the RJ-45 connectors) with
typical shielded two conductor cable (like Belden 9451), just as if you were connecting
a balanced source. At the unbalanced source machine's output, connect the black wire
(LO) to the shield.
ANALOG OUTPUTS — The AUDIOARTS 08 console's PGM line level analog out-
puts are electronically balanced, low impedance, outputs, expecting a minimum load of
600 ohms. The outpus are balanced but not floating. Therefore, care must be exercised
when connecting them to an unbalanced system. While temporarily shorting the low
side of the output signal to ground will not cause any problems, continued operation
under these conditions will result in increased distortion, decreased reliability, and pos-
sible oscillation problems. If you must connect this output to an unbalanced system,
be sure to leave the low side unterminated, and connect the unbalanced system to
the high side output and shield connections only.
