3.8 WIRING DIAGRAMS
Throughout this manual we use TS and TRS as abbreviations. Here is a complete definition: TS refers to the Tip-Sleeve or “mono”
2-conductor type and TRS refers to Tip-Ring-Sleeve or “stereo” 3 conductor type 1/4” phone connectors. This applies to jacks (female
connectors) and plugs (male connectors).
Note: Use only conventional 1/4” phone plugs with the Exciter. Professional patch bay cords using brass PJ055 telephone type plugs are
designed to a different standard and will not make full contact with the Exciter phone jacks.
The following illustrations are examples of some the cables you may need to hook up your equipment. Most of these configurations
are using professionally manufactured cables, but you may wish to make your own. In case of hum, buzz, or noise troubles, check your
cables against these diagrams for correctness. You may benefit from isolating the shield wire at the receiving end (never the sending end)
if you experience hum using balanced cables.
