XONE:02 User Guide 11
Cables and Connections
The XONE:02 uses professional grade 3 pin XLR, 1/4" TRS jack and RCA PHONO sockets. The
following mating plugs may be used:
The XLR connector is 3 wire balanced. This has 3 connector pins: Pin 1 = ground (screen), Pin 2 =
signal hot (+), Pin 3 = signal cold (-). The jack sockets are the 3 pole TRS type. These are wired to
work with either the balanced TRS or the unbalanced 2 pole TS type plugs without cable modification.
The sockets have 3 connector pins: Inputs and outputs are Tip = signal hot (+), Ring = signal cold (-),
Sleeve = ground (screen). Headphones are Tip = left, Ring = right, Sleeve = ground. The RCA phono
connectors are 2 wire unbalanced to connect to equipment such as CD players, turntables and
domestic amplifiers.
To ensure best performance, we recommend that you use high quality audio cables and connectors,
and take time to check for reliable and accurate cable assembly. It is well known that many audio
system failures are due to faulty interconnecting leads. Avoid reversing + and - on balanced
connections as this will result in reverse polarity connections which may cause signal cancellation
effects. Refer to the cable diagram for how to wire unbalanced to balanced connections. It is fine to
use a Y-adapter to feed one output to several inputs, but never use a Y-adapter to sum two
outputs into one input.
