By default, the audio ties follow the video ties. Audio breakaway, which can be activated via the front panel or under Ethernet or serial port control, allows you to select from any one of the audio input sources and route it separately from its corresponding video source. See chapter 3, “Operation”, chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”, chapter 5, “Matrix Software”, and chapter 6, “HTML Operation” for details.

D	Connections for balanced and unbalanced audio inputs —
	Each input has a 3.5 mm, 5-pole captive screw connector for
	balanced or unbalanced stereo audio input. Connectors are
	included with each switcher, but you must supply the audio
	cable. See figure 2-17 to wire a connector for the appropriate input type.
	Use the supplied tie-wrap to strap the audio cable to the extended tail of the
	connector. High impedance is generally over 800 ohms.

CThe length of the exposed (stripped) portion of the copper wires is important. The ideal length is 3/16” (5 mm). Longer bare wires can short together. Shorter bare wires are not as secure in the direct insertion connectors and could be pulled out.

CThe captive screw audio connector can easily be inadvertently plugged partially into one receptacle and partially into an adjacent receptacle. This misconnection could damage the audio output circuits. Ensure that the connector is plugged fully and only into the desired input or output.

NSee figure 2-18 to identify the tip, ring, and sleeve when you are making connections for the switcher from existing audio cables. A mono audio connector consists of the tip and sleeve. A stereo audio connector consists of the tip, ring and sleeve. The ring, tip, and sleeve wires are also shown on the captive screw audio connector diagrams, figure 2-17 and figure 2-19.

The audio level for each input can be individually set via the front panel or Ethernet or serial port control to ensure that the level on the output does not vary from input to input. See chapter 3, “Operation”, chapter 4, “Programmer’s Guide”, chapter 5, “Matrix Software”, and chapter 6, “HTML Operation” for details.
