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 circuits. Ensure that the connector is plugged fully and only into the desired input or output.

NThe length of exposed wires is critical. The ideal length is 3/16 inch (5 mm).

•If the stripped section of wire is longer than 3/16 inch, the exposed wires may touch, causing a short circuit between them.

•If the stripped section of wire is shorter than 3/16 inch, wires can be easily pulled out even if tightly fastened by the captive screws.

NSee figure 2-5 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 2-3, figure 2-4, figure 2-6, and figure 2-7.

The audio level for each input can be individually set via the front panel or via Ethernet or RS-232/RS-422 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.

eConnections for balanced and unbalanced audio outputs — These 3.5 mm, 5-pole (stereo audio BMEs) or 3-pole (mono audio BMEs) captive screw connectors output the selected unamplified, line level audio. Connect audio devices, such as an audio amplifier or powered speakers.
