Plug and connection assignment

8 Plug and connection assignment

Introduction

Balanced and unbalanced trans‐ mission

This chapter will help you select the right cables and plugs to connect your valuable equip‐ ment in such a way that a perfect sound experience is ensured.

Please note these advices, because especially in ‘Sound & Light’ caution is indicated: Even if a plug ts into the socket, an incorrect connection may result in a destroyed power amp, a short circuit or ‘just’ in poor transmission quality!

Unbalanced transmission is mainly used in semi-professional environment and in hi use. Instrument cables with two conductors (one core plus shielding) are typical representatives of the unbalanced transmission. One conductor is ground and shielding while the signal is trans‐ mitted through the core.

Unbalanced transmission is susceptible to electromagnetic interference, especially at low levels, such as microphone signals and when using long cables.

In a professional environment, therefore, the balanced transmission is preferred, because this enables an undisturbed transmission of signals over long distances. In addition to the conduc‐ tors ‘Ground’ and ‘Signal’, in a balanced transmission a second core is added. This also transfers the signal, but phase-shifted by 180°.

Plug and connection assignment

Since the interference aects both cores equally, by subtracting the phase-shifted signals, the interfering signal is completely neutralized. The result is a pure signal without any noise inter‐ ference.

9 Cleaning

Cleaning

Device components

Clean the device components that are accessible from the outside regularly. The cleaning fre‐ quency depends on the operating environment: damp, smoky or particularly dirty environ‐ ments can cause greater accumulation of dirt on the device components.

n Clean with a dry soft cloth. n Stubborn dirt can be removed with a slightly dampened cloth. n Never use solvents or alcohol for cleaning.

Protecting the environment

10 Protecting the environment

Disposal of the packaging mate‐ rial

For the packaging, environmentally friendly materials have been chosen that can be supplied to normal recycling.

Ensure that plastic bags, packaging, etc. are properly disposed of.

Do not just dispose of these materials with your normal household waste, but make sure that they are collected for recycling. Please follow the notes and markings on the packaging.

Disposal of batteries

Batteries do contain some hazardous chemicals so they should not be thrown away with the normal household waste. They should be returned to the manufacturer for disposal or recycled elsewhere in accordance with your local regulations.

Remove lithium batteries from the device before disposal. Protect used lithium batteries against potential short circuits, e.g. by covering the poles with adhesive tape. Dispose the built-in lithium batteries together with the device. Please check for an appropriate reception facility.
