Audio connections

Various cables are needed for different types of applications. The following
illustrations show the correct wiring. Always use high-grade cables.
When connecting a balanced input signal, please make sure to exclusively
use balanced cables for passing the signal further on. Otherwise, one single
unbalanced cable can turn the entire signal unbalanced.
