USING THE BALANCED OUTPUT
The GCS-2 has both single-ended ¼-inch phone jack and balanced XLR outputs. For
most sound systems, the balanced output is preferred because it avoids common audio
problems such as ground loops, signal bleed and degradation. There are 2 switches
on the back panel. The GROUND LIFT switch is used to isolate the signal ground of
your equipment coming into the GCS-2 from the signal fed to the console. This avoids
line frequency hum in your audio signal. The other switch is a signal level switch that
allows the GCS-2 to send either a high-level signal (LINE LEVEL) or a low-level signal
(MIC LEVEL) to the console. This will allow your sound engineer to optimize the signal
to maintain fidelity when it enters the console.
