1.Connect RCA Tip to Phoenix pin 1.

2.Connect RCA Ring to Phoenix pin 2.

3.Connect Phoenix pin 3 to Shield, and leave Shield floating on RCA end.

Caution! Do NOT connect the shield at both ends.

Caution! On the EF2241, Phoenix pin 3 is connected to chassis ground. Under no circumstances should Phoenix pin 3 be connected to pin 1 or to pin 2. Doing so will add noise to the audio signal.
