Connections

Before connecting the VITALIZER or any other equipment turn off all power. Adjust the voltage setting on the back so that it corre- sponds with the local power conditions.

The balanced XLR input connectors are Neutrik XLRs wired pin 2 hot. The unbalanced mono-jacks are wired tip hot. Should the need arise to use the XLR unit in an unbalanced system, pin 3 of both the input and output connectors should be grounded.

The following graph shows the correct wiring for connecting unbalanced signals to the balanced XLR connectors:

Both output stages operate in parallel, so it is possible to connect two different destination units simultaneously, for example to record to two different media at the same time or split the output between a mixer and effects processor. However, only one type of input (jack or XLR) should be connected at a time – the VITALIZER is not intended to be used as a mixer!

To ensure optimal signal quality, SPL has developed a new hybrid-component balanced input/output stage using all laser- trimmed resistors with a tolerance of 0.01 %. This approach has resulted in an exceptionally high CCMR (common mode rejec- tion); 100 dB at 1kHz and 80 dB at 10 kHz.

As a precaution, before connecting the VITALIZER switch off the power to the unit and to all connected units.
