Analog Audio Output


Nominal input level between –14dBu and +8dBu will result in normal operation
of the 6300.
(0dBu = 0.775Vrms. For this application, the dBm @600 scale on voltme-
ters can be read as if it were calibrated in dBu.)

The peak input level that causes overload is +27.0dBu.

The electronically balanced input uses an ultra low noise and distortion differen-
tial amplifier for best common mode rejection and is compatible with most pro-
fessional and semi-professional audio equipment, balanced or unbalanced, hav-
ing a source impedance of 600 or less. The input is EMI suppressed.

Input connections are the same whether the driving source is balanced or unbal-
anced.

Connect the red (or white) wire to the pin on the XLR-type connector (#2 or #3)
that is considered H
wire to the pin on the XLR-type connector (#3 or #2) that is considered L
the standards of your organization.

In low RF fields (like a studio site not co-located with an RF transmitter), connect
the cable shield at 6300 input only—it should not be connected at the source
end. In high RF fields (like a transmitter site), also connect the shield to pin 1 of
the male XLR-type connector at the 6300 input.

If the output of the driving unit is unbalanced and does not have separate

the black wire to the common (–) or ground terminal of the driving unit.

Electronically balanced and floating outputs simulate a true transformer output.
The source impedance is 50. The output is capable of driving loads of 600 or
higher; the 100% modulation level is adjustable with the AO 100% control over
a –6dBu to +24dBu range. The outputs are EMI suppressed.

If an unbalanced output is required (to drive unbalanced inputs of other equip-
ment), it should be taken between pin 2 and pin 3 of the XLR-type connector.

grounded.
