USING THE 250.2 BALANCED LINE INPUTS

USING THE 250.2 BALANCED LINE INPUTS

The Balanced Line Inputs can be utilized with the optional Balanced Line Transmitter. Unlike standard RCA cables that use two wires to carry the audio signal and ground, balanced lines use three. In a balanced line, the output signal and its inverted replica travel down a pair of wires where the ground connects via the shield. As the amplifier receives the signals, it cancels out whatever signals are common to both wires. The use of balanced lines helps in preventing radiated noise pickup in the signal cables and has been proven effective in studio installation where long cable runs and magnetic fields make maintaining signal integrity difficult.
