Balanced inputs and outputs respectively are 3-pin female and male XLR's at the rear. The unbalanced inputs and outputs are available at both the front panel (RCA's) and rear panel (3.5mm stereo mini-jacks). There are internal jumpers provided for pin 2 or pin 3 of the XLR's to be "Hot" (+ve phase) and the input and output screens of the XLR's may be disconnected. Factory defaults are pin 3 Hot and screens grounded. The balanced output levels automatically compensate if either pin 2 or pin 3 of the XLR's are connected to pin 1 (ground). Sufficient gain and attenuation are provided by the front panel multi-turn adjustments to cope with the highest and lowest common audio levels. The headroom, frequency response, noise and distortion specifications are impeccable, making the AB2C audibly transparent in the audio chain. Three units will fit side-by-side on most rack trays or on top of other rack-mount equipment. The AB2C's front panel is 1RU high. Mains supplies of 240V & 120V 50/60Hz are catered for and a 12-24Vdc version is available to order.
