Aviom AV-P2 manual Connecting Audio, Wiring a Euroblock, Connecting to a Balanced Device

Connecting Audio

The audio outputs on the AV-P2 Output Module can be connected to balanced or unbalanced devices via the Euroblock jacks.

Wiring a Euroblock

Euroblock connectors provide an easy, solder-free way of making audio connections between the AV-P2 and other audio components. Only a small flat-blade screw driver is required to make connections. For extra strength, you can add solder to each bare wire on an audio cable to stop the wire strands from unwinding (called “tinning”).

Connecting to a Balanced Device

To connect the AV-P2 Euroblock audio output to a device that can accept a balanced line-level input:

1.Strip the insulating jacket of the cable back about .75 inch (18 mm) to reveal the individual hot, cold, and ground wires within.

2.Remove a small amount of each individual wire’s insulation (approximately .25 inch, 6 mm).

3.On the 5.0 mm Euroblock male plug, use a small screw driver to loosen and open the sockets that will receive the individual wires.

4.Insert the individual hot (+), cold (-), and ground wires into the matching sockets on the Euroblock plug.

5.Tighten the screws on the wire sockets to secure the individual wires.

6.Plug the completed Euroblock plug into the desired output channel on the AV-P2.

7.Connect the AV-P2 to your audio device.

Connecting to an Unbalanced Device

The AV-P2 audio outputs can be connected to unbalanced audio devices; connections can use single-conductor or two-conductor shielded cable.

Single-conductor shielded cable

To connect the AV-P2 audio output to an unbalanced line-level device using single-conductor shielded cable:

1.Strip the insulating jacket of the cable back about .75 inch (18 mm) to reveal the individual hot and ground wires within.

2.Remove a small amount of each individual wire’s insulation (approximately .25 inch, 6 mm).

3.On the Euroblock plug, use a small screw driver to loosen and open the sockets that will receive the individual wires.

4.Insert the audio cable’s hot (+) wire into the matching socket on the Euroblock plug.

5.Insert the audio cable’s ground wire into the matching socket on the Euroblock plug. The cold (-) socket on the Euroblock remains unused in this configuration.

6.Tighten the screws on the wire sockets to secure the individual wires.

7.Plug the completed Euroblock plug into the desired output channel on the AV-P2.

8.Connect the completed cable to your audio device.

Two-conductor shielded cable

To connect the AV-P2 audio output to an unbalanced line-level device using two-conductor shielded cable:
