How to connect a balanced line output to an unbalanced input
Contrary to Horus and Hapi DA8/P Line outputs, the MERGING+ANUBIS outputs are
electronically floating (similar to transformer-based) and will therefore operate nominally with
either Hi or Lo shorted to ground as would be the case when connecting to an unbalanced input.
To connect the MERGING+ANUBIS to an unbalanced input using the balanced outputs, it is
recommended to do so as shown in Figure below.

Note: When driving an unbalanced input, make sure you set the line output level to the +18 dBu setting
as the +24 dBu setting is only achievable when driving balanced inputs. This could otherwise cause
distortion.
Warning: Before you Power Up Anubis, it is recommended to lower the Volume of your Monitor
Speakers (if those are connected) and to remove the headphones set from your ears.
