Basic Analogue Connections
Important Note: Switch the power off before making any connections. There are two analogue connection options for the EXN100.
Line Output Connection (RCA)
Balanced Audio Connection (XLR)
The balanced connection is the higher quality option and can reject noise and interference in the cable when used with other equipment that supports this function.
Note: XLR connectors should be wired as follows: Pin 1: Ground, Pin 2: Hot (in-phase) and Pin 3: Cold (phase-inverted).
Digital Connections
There are two digital connection options for the EXN100.
Note: If using either of the digital outputs of the EXN100, the digital signal will bypass the DAC in EXN100 and will instead be processed by the unit connected to the digital output, E.g., EXA
Digital Coaxial Output
Digital Coaxial connections are commonly used with CD players and amplifiers and are recommended for use as they have a higher bandwidth.
TOSLINK Optical Output
Whilst having lower bandwidth than coaxial cables, TOSLINK Optical connections are commonly found on televisions, DVD players and A/V units.
