Balanced Inputs - YORKVILLE SR 300 Manuel De L'utilisateur

INTRODUCTION
Your new SR300 power amplifier is designed and built to provide years of trouble free performance. Although
specifically designed to power small studio monitors it has many other applications as well. Like all Yorkville Sound
amplifiers, it is designed to be rugged and reliable in all applications. The limiter and high pass filter are optimized to
increase the reliability of small studio monitors but can be used with higher power speakers as well. Generous current
capability along with low distortion and high headroom guarantee the sonic integrity of the power amplifier.
The SR300 is designed and manufactured by Yorkville Sound. Each unit undergoes a temperature cycled burn-in
period, and each circuit is tested by sophisticated computer controlled equipment which is capable of identifying any
deviation from the design center parameters.

Balanced Inputs

The SR300 has a high quality balanced input with high hum rejection. The 1/4" inputs will accept a
standard 1/4" TRS (stereo) plug for balanced operation. The tip is the positive (hot) connection. We
recommend using balanced connections wherever possible to ensure that the system is noise free.
Connecting a balanced input to an unbalanced output works very well giving almost all of the hum
rejection of a truly balanced inter-connection. The key to this connection is to use cable with 2 wires
plus a shield. The "ring" connection (return) should be connected to ground at the source ground. This
ensures that almost all of the hum created by the interconnection is canceled by the input circuit.
