CONNECTIONS AND CONNECTORS

Correctly- made cables of the proper type, with the right connectors for the job will ensure peak performance from your system with minimum noise pick-up. The following section will help you to connect SPIRIT Monitor correctly.

Two different types of audio connectors are used, 3-pin XLR and 1⁄4" three pole (‘A’ gauge) jacks. These are used in several configurations as shown in the diagrams below.
