Input Connections

Microphone Cable Wiring

The CAM2 has female XLR connectors as its microphone inputs, these connectors have 3 pins and are designed to be connected to balanced, low-impedance microphones.These microphones require 3 connections and use a cable that has two insulated conductors and a shielding material that encases the conductors (the shield provides the third connection). The use of balanced microphones provides superior protection against the pickup of unwanted hum, noise, and interference. It allows long cables to be used to connect the microphones to the CAM2.

The figure below shows how to wire the Male and Female XLR connectors onto a 2-conductor with shield cable to make custom microphone cables.

AUX IN

Certain music input sources, such as tape decks and CD players, send larger signal levels that microphone inputs are not suited to accept. Microphone inputs are very sensitive and if one of these devices were connected to a microphone input, then the output from the CAM2 would be distorted and unusable.

Since it is common to have recorded music mixed together with live sound from microphones, the CAM2 provides a single AUX input for the connection of a tape deck, CD player, tuner or similar equipment.The AUX IN connec- tion has the appropriate input sensitivity to accept signals from these types of equipment.The input uses an unbal- anced RCA connector which is typical of the output from playback equipment. RCA patch cords are readily avail- able for making connections to this input. However, this is a mono input so the output from a stereo source must be combined by a Y-adapter so that both halves of the stereo playback are heard. The AUX input is an unbalanced input.When using unbalanced inputs, it is a good idea to keep the length of the connecting cable to 10 feet or less.
