    SECTION 2: SET-UP & USE 1. DETERMINE SET-UP LOCATION The Access Link is generally located near the amplifier. This minimizes the length of cable runs, reducing cost and labor and minimizing the possibility of unwanted EMI noise in the system. If cable runs longer than 12 feet are required, we recommend using the balanced audio output with balanced audio cable.
