Note 1

Note 1. In some instances, connecting the cable shield to both the PM-3000 ground and the amplifier’s input ground may cause ground loops. In that case, remove the shield connections to the PM-3000.

2. This figure shows wiring from PM-3000 Balanced Output to an unbalanced input. Note: this wiring style into an unbalanced input will result in 6dB less maximum input sig- nal. The unbalanced connection shown in 3. is preferred.
