Crossover ECLER FAP 2-4 unbalanced connection!!

Hi guys,

I have to connect this crossover in "unbalanced", the manual is only in Spanish. Is there anyone who can read for me Downloads and indicate how to configure the input and output cables ...? Thank you

Unbalanced is just --signal/ground the same as many RCA socket inputs -- entrada no balanceada.


I would run it flat 0dbv as +18dbv has 0.3% THD and notice the low input impedance-- 2.2Kohms , so the question is what is being run through it ?
 
Entrada balanceada shows -


Pin 1 as screen for pins 2+3. = pins 2+3 separate inputs conforming to BALANCED set up.



entrada no balanceada shows -


Pin 1 as screen + earth for pins 2+1=pins 1+2 tied together --NON-balanced.


Therefore pin THREE is the signal pin.
 
yes, right ... pin 3 is the signal ... Reading documentation about XLR connection, I discovered there is a European XLR standard and a USA Standard .... this leads to using PIN 2 or 3 for the signal. My cables have the signal on PIN 2, so I have to unsolder them and change position ...
 
The world is divided into business areas by America, the EU gets the types of mains plugs relating to EU standards ,whereas the UK doesn't "count " so much and gets EU style plugs much to the concern of the UK public .


Most sellers on Amazon etc sell US type equipment as trying to sell UK equipment with their original plugs is illegal in the USA, importers from China etc sell to the biggest markets the type of products conforming electrically to those markets not the smaller markets as its cheaper for a production line to assemble the countries which have the highest density of customer population .


As you say the EU has its Standards as has the UK and America has its own Standards --watch what you buy to make sure its compatible with the country you live in .


Each world area is "zoned " by the USA for export .

From what I understand of Spanish ... The outs are XLR's non balanced. Hot on Pin3.
Don't change the cables. Change the connections on the unit or make small adapter cables. Keep things standard. You can test connecting ground to pin1 and then touching the other two pins one by one with the signal wire. I do this on mixers to determine if they are balanced or impedance balanced. (Only One of the wires works) You could also add a resistor of the same value as the hot out and make a impedance balanced out or add an inverting op-amp equal to the one fitted to produce the cold signal.
