Tweak: A) Balanced means it takes a 3 conductor plug like a headphone plug on each mono channel (as opposed to the little stereo jacks that carry both channels on a soundcard). Note that a balanced connection is NOT stereo even though they use the same "headphone style" TRS connector. (TRS stand for tip+ring+sleeve). Also note that to obtain the benefit of the balanced connection the output of the gear you connect must also be balanced.

Glulam allows the manufacturer to place wood species in the lay-up to the material's best advantage in resisting applied stresses. The whole premise of a glued laminated beam is that you are trying to put the high strength material in the extreme zones of the cross sectional member, so when the beam is loaded, the high strength material is located where the stresses would be the highest.

Depending on the abilities of the equipment being connected, mixing balanced and unbalanced signals on the same jackfield shouldn't cause any more problems than connecting the equipment together directly. In fact there are some advantages to wiring everything as if it was balanced, as this can help reduce ground-loop problems. However, never plug an unbalanced (tip-sleeve) plug into a balanced microphone socket if phantom power is present (see the previous question). See similar questions...

Yes. Just be aware that if you mix unbalanced with balanced you invite hum and buzz into your system. See the Operators Manual, specifically the section on switching the PHONO 3 INTERNAL PROGRAM JUMPERS. These two jumpers need to be set for the PHONO position. They are shipped in the FLAT position which allows for line level input. See similar questions...

Balanced connectors are usually 3-pin XLR connectors in which Pin 1 is ground, Pin 2 is audio positive (also called Hot), and Pin 3 is audio negative (also called Cold). Balanced connectors may also be a 3 conductor TRS (Tip Ring Sleeve) connector where Tip is audio positive, Ring is audio negative and Sleeve is ground. Unbalanced connectors are usually TS (Tip Sleeve) connectors; Tip is the audio signal and Sleeve is ground. See similar questions...

Unbalanced. If you only require mono, plug a two circuit 1/4 inch plug into the left/mono jack. If you require stereo output use both left and right outputs. Assuming the battery was installed correctly and not backwards, and took all anti-static precautions, make sure all the cables are pushed in and seated properly. You may also have to perform a hard reset. See similar questions...

A) The “send left” and “send right” outputs, located on the rear of the Reactor are unbalanced and are direct feeds from the modeler’s left and right outputs. The “return” input also located on the rear of the amp is unbalanced and is a direct feed to the Reactor’s power amp section. See similar questions...

You'd think the answer to this one would be a simple "to keep costs down". Although that's one of the reasons, there's another reason that's less obvious and the primary one: we designed the RNC to be used in home studios (like ours) made up primarily of unbalanced pieces. So, we designed it to easily interface to equipment usually found in the intended environment. For example, many home studios use mixing boards that have single Tip-Ring-Sleeve insert points on their input channels. See similar questions...

In order to simplify the handling of IPR and use of knowledge the PCR proposes to indicate for the individual project partners if their contribution would be similar in effort and value compared to other partners. If this is the case the partners should consider those partners as "balanced". In case of major discrepancies in effort/ value the partners will be considered as "unbalanced".

First, let's define what the terms mean. The simplest audio circuit uses a single wire to carry the signal; the return path, which is needed for current to flow in the wire, is provided through a ground connection, usually through a shield around the wire. This system, called unbalanced transmission, is very susceptible to hum pickup and cannot be used for low level signals, like audio, for more than a few feet. See similar questions...

This type of application is the most common one that we encounter. Our JT-11P-1 line input transformer is ideal for interfacing balanced lines to unbalanced inputs such as power amplifiers or unbalanced mixer console inputs. This transformer is also available in our ready to use ISO-MAX® Model CI-1RR, CI-2RR and PI-2XX products. See similar questions...

Jensen makes a wide variety of line output transformers for manufacturers who wish to design system interconnect compatabilty into their products or for users trying to "fix" equipment with poorly designed interfaces. The JT-11-BMCF, JT-11-DMCF and JT-11-EMCF are our highest quality "studio grade" line output transformers with +27dBu, +22dBu and +18dBu level handling capability respectively. Frequency response is guaranteed to be within +/-0. See similar questions...

Please read our VK-60 white paper, for more insight into the extraordinary level of development and the meticulous execution that goes into each of our products. Then visit your BAT audio specialist to hear these exciting components in a well-set-up system. The main reason to buy one high-end brand over another should be that it plays music better. We're firmly convinced that you'll hear the difference with BAT. See similar questions...

The SEND / RETURN connections provide for up to a 50:50 mix of the effect signal and the dry audio, but the INSERT points interrupt the signal path such that the entire audio path us routed through the external processor. Typically delay, reverb, chorus and other similar units are connected to the EFFECTS SEND / RETURN points. The INSERT jacks are better suited for compressor / limiters, aural enhancers and equalizers. Yes. In fact you can use all four outputs at once. See similar questions...

Since this unit uses a cross-coupled output, it is imperative that pin 3 be grounded to pin 1 and the audio positive connected to pin 2. It is also very important to make sure the unit is earth grounded using a separate wire connected to the chassis ground screw near the red power connector. See Sound System Interconnection for further details. Not having an earth ground connection to the chassis is the number one cause of failure See similar questions...

No. This piece is primarily aimed at the keyboard and similar sources. If you need fully balanced inputs use the SM 26S or the MLM 82S. However, the SM 82 outputs are balanced. See similar questions...

The short answer to this is that subliminal audio messages are hidden and can be more easily used than hypnosis (by merely playing the discs). Hypnosis -which is in this case always self-hypnosis- requires a conscious effort by the user to follow verbal instructions contained in the recording. Both types are intended to bring the user into a suggestible state of mind so that the specific content will be most effective. See similar questions...

The calling card solution was the first program we offered to our partners and continues to drive a lot of interest. Calling Cards are ideal for individuals who do not want to pay a monthly service fee and only need to make long distance calls. Campus Connections is new service we introduced this year. Campus Connections offers more than the basic calling card functionality. See similar questions...

The Xbox 360 has a proprietary A/V connector like the Xbox and a cable adapts this signal to a standard A/V format such as composite, component, S-video, VGA/stereo, and surround sound. See similar questions...

Jiggerbug and Simply Audiobooks are CD audio book rental clubs and they work in a fashion similar to Netflix DVD rental service - you maintain a "wish list" of the audio CDs that you want and the club ships you 3 or so at a time (depending on the plan that you've chosen). Your return the CDs in a postage-paid envelope and they mail you the next CD on your list. Audible allows you to purchase electronic versions of audio books. See similar questions...
