Getting started

Connecting to unbalanced equipment

Important:

We recommend that you only connect balanced devices to your Square ONE Splitter. However, if you do have to connect unbalanced devices, we recommend that you use the Klark Teknik DN100 DI box to balance the signal first.

Ideally, you will be making the best use of the low-noise high-headroom balanced inputs of the Square ONE Splitter by connecting to similarly balanced equipment. However, if you do have to connect to unbalanced devices, the following wiring is recommended for best results.
