Unbalanced Connections (analog audio)
ANALOG INPUTS — Wire to the console with typical shielded two
conductor cable (like Belden 9451), just as if you were connecting a
balanced source. At the unbalanced source machine’s output, connect the
black wire (LO) to the shield.
ANALOG OUTPUTS — D-16 consoles use a balanced output circuit
which behaves exactly like the secondary of a high-quality transformer,
with no center tap—this output is both balanced and floating. Either the HI
or LO side of the output should be strapped to ground, with the output taken
from the other side. (Normally you’d strap LO to ground, and take HIGH
to feed your unbalanced equipment.)
Installation Tip
In an effort to pack the D-16 rear panel with the maximum signal
capability, we have employed multipin DB-25 connectors. It is certainly
possible to wire up directly from the DB-25 mating plugs to the peripheral
circuitry, such as microphones, CD players, control room and studio
speakers, and STL. However, if you anticipate making frequent wiring
changes after installation you should consider using punchblocks, or some
other interconnect system that will allow you to change a single signal line
without interfering with seven other signals. And contact the factory or
your dealer to find out about available prewire options.
