Figure 2-31: AR6201 with wiring interface for AR4201
Connect the cable shielding to pin P1-6, which is the low side input for dynamic microphone. Because
in AR6201 this input is balanced, the cable shield is no longer connected to ground (unlike it was with
the AR4201). In most cases, it is not a problem.
If interference with the microphone signal does occur, it is recommended to carry out the following
modification:
Connect Pin P1-6 with Pin P1-8 (the cable shield is grounded). See Figure.

2.12.3. Temperature Sensor
The AR6201 has no temperature sensor input. Remove wire from pin P1-8 and pin P1-20.
2.12.4. RS232 Interface
The AR6201 has no RS232 interface for remote control. Remove wire from pin P1-9 and pin P1-22.
