MZP The inputs are connected to the matrix via removable screw terminal Phoenix type plug receptacles The matrix s audio input can be either electronically balanced impedance of 20 KQ or unbalance to 10 KQ The correct method of unbalancing the input is to float it i e leave the unused pin open as shown below Fig 3c These drawings show how balanced and unbalanced inputs should be connected to the matrix audio inputs 3 3 2 Audio outputs Audio output devices are connected to the matrix via removable screw terminal Phoenix type plug receptacles The audio output from the matrix is electronically balanced impedance of 440 Q but it can be unbalanced impedance of 220 Q by the user The output can be correctly unbalanced by tying the negative leg to ground as shown in Fig 3d The matrix will give a 6 dB boost which compensates for the signal level loss due to unbalanc ing to a signal unbalanced in this way Therefore this method of unbalancing is preferable to floating one side of the pair of leads to unbalance it Fig 3d Matrix output connections for balanced and unbalanced output devices 19 Intelix MZP E User Manual Matrix Wiring Details 3 4 Recommended Input Wiring Methods 20 The following are the recommended methods for connecting sources to the Intelix MZP The mixer input is always balanced From the following drawings choose the wiring method for your input device either balan
