STANDARD
INSTALLATION
CABLING
The
mains
cord
is
supplied
with
your
PSX.
The
quality
of
all
other
cables
is
left
to
your
responsibility.
Carefully
chosen
high
quality
cables
are
the
best
precaution
to
prevent
problems
from
occurring
during
the
later
operation.
In
the
following
we
would
like
to
provide
you
with
some
recommendations
for
the
trouble-free
operation
of
your
setup.
SPEAKER
CABLES
Our
experience
as
a
manufacturer
of
loudspeaker
systems
has
taught
us
that
flexible
cables
with
a
rubber
jacket
and
a
diameter
of
2.5mm2
per
conductor,
used
in
combination
with
SPEAKON
plugs
and
sockets,
are
the
best
choice
to
guarantee
the
optimal
connection
of
loudspeaker
systems.
The
connection
of
the
SPEAKON
plugs
to
the
corresponding
connectors
on
the
PSX's
rear
panel
has
to
be
in
accordance
to
the
corresponding
diagram.
We
recommend
the
use
4-wire
cables
where
also
the
pins
2+
and
2-
are
connected
through.
This
provides
you
with
the
possibility
to
use
these
cables
in
an
active
2-way
system
configuration,
as
well.
Electro-Voice
speaker
cables
with
SPEAKON
connectors
and
all
other
cables,
plugs,
and
sockets
are
available
at
your
professional
audio
dealer.
LF-CABLES
-
BALANCED
OR
UNBALANCED?
For
LF-cabling
-
all
the
low
current
wiring
-
your
best
choice
are
balanced
cables
(2
signal
conductors
+
ground
shielding)
with
XLR-type
connectors
or
stereo
phone
jacks
and
plugs.
The
cables
should
be
step
proof,
shielded,
and
never
longer
than
absolutely
necessary.
Too
many
too
long
cables
mostly
lead
to
confusion
and
generate
unnecessary
problems.
Of
course,
you
can
also
connect
unbalanced
cables
with
monaural
phone
plugs
to
the
PSX’s
in-
and
outputs
and
because
of
its
superb
grounding
managing
system,
in
most
cases
no
interference
will
occur.
Still,
there
is
a
minimal
risk
that
problems
could
arise.
Generally
spoken,
if
you
have
the
choice,
balanced
LF-cables
are
always
the
better
solution
and
they
should
be
preferred.
Today's
modem
audio
equipment
-
like
amplifiers,
equalizers,
FX
units,
mixing
consoles,
and
even
some
keyboards
-
offers
balanced
in-
and
outputs.
In
a
balanced
signal
path,
the
cable
screen
provides
a
gapless
connection
of
all
metal
parts,
offering
efficient
shielding
against
the
induction
of
external
noise.
The
balanced
cabling
in
conjunction
with
the
common-mode
rejection
of
the
PSX’s
input
stage
effectively
eliminates
even
existing
artifacts
of
interference.
All
inputs
of
the
PSX
provide
balanced
audio
connections
and
high
common-mode
rejection.
The
mixing
stage
outputs
-
AUX,
MAIN,
etc.
-
are
laid
out
in
GND-SENSING
technology
-
a
special,
impedance-balanced
pin
assignment
of
the
output
jacks,
offering
all
advantages
of
the
balanced
signal
transmission,
but
lets
you
also
connect
monaural
phone
plugs,
without
a
problem.
Nevertheless
-
as
mentioned
above
-
when
longer
cables
are
involved,
using
stereo
phone
plugs
and
balanced
cables
are
the
better
alternative.
The
diagrams
below
show
the
pin
assignments
of
plugs
and
cables
like
they
can
be
used
with
the
PSX.
