2.1 Achieving the Best Performance
To achieve the best performance:
Use only good quality connection cables (we recommend Kramer high-
resolution, high-quality cables) to avoid interference, deterioration in signal
quality due to poor matching, and elevated noise levels (often associated
with low quality cables)
Do not secure the cables in tight bundles or roll the slack into tight coils
Avoid interference from neighboring electrical appliances that may adversely
influence signal quality
Position your Kramer SID-X3N away from moisture, excessive sunlight and
dust
