2.3 Choose Input Wire and Connectors

Crown recommends using pre-built or professionally wired
bal anced line (two-conductor plus shield), 22-24 gauge cables
and connectors. You should use 3-pin Phoenix-type cable ends at
the mixer inputs. Unbalanced line may also be used but may
result in noise over long cable runs.
Figure 2.3 shows connector pin assignments for balanced wir ing,
and Figure 2.4 shows connector pin assignments for unbal anced
wiring. The RCA input connectors can also be used for
unbalanced inputs.
NOTE: Custom wiring should only be performed by
qualifi ed personnel. Class 2 wiring is required.

2.4 Choose Output Wire and Connectors

Use 2-conductor shielded cable and 3-pin Phoenix-type
connec tors for Line Output wiring (Figure 2.5).
