Optimized for connecting personal audio
sources to professional audio system
inputs. Use to connect CD and MP3 players,
comput er sound ca rd outputs, mini
hea dpho n e aud i o out p uts , e tc. t o
professional equipment with balanced
inputs such as a mixing console.

Signal is input via a 3.5mm (1/8") stereo
TRS jack. Output is via left and right
balanced XLRs. Designed for nominal –10
dB input sources with minimal loss from
input to output.

Features a "STEREO / MONO" switch to
combine stereo sources into a mono signal
and a “PAD” switch for accommodating
"hot" signal sources. A “GROUND LIFT”
switch disconnects input ground from the
outputs to help eliminate hum and buzz.

ISOPOD2

Made In USA

INPUT (3.5mm stereo TRS jack)
Use to connect the audio outputs of computer sound cards, CD

players, mini headphone outputs, etc. The 3.5mm (1/8”) jack is a
tip/ring/sleeve type. The tip is connected to the Left channel, the
ring is wired to the Right and the sleeve is common ground to both
channels.

GND/LIFT (Switch)
This switch is usually left in the “GND” position (grounds are

connected from input to output). If hum occurs in either channel
when using the ISOPOD2, setting the switch to the “LIFT” position
may help to reduce it. (This disconnects the ground between the
input and the XLR outputs.)

STEREO / MONO (Switch)
When placed in the “STEREO” position, signals are routed to their

respective output. In the “MONO” position, the left and right inputs
are summed into a mono signal that is fed to both XLR outputs.

PAD (Switch)
Most signals will operate properly when set to the “OFF” position.

The “PAD” position adds attenuation to both the left and right
inputs, to reduce the possibility of distortion with “hot” signals.

LOW-Z BALANCED OUTPUT (XLR jack X 2)
Left and Right male XLRs, which provide balanced low impedance

signals suitable for connection to balanced, low-Z equipment
(mixing console, workstation, etc.) The output signal is a
transformer balanced version of the input at almost the same level.
Insertion loss is very low with the “PAD” off.
