12. RB-LI2 Stereo Line Isolation Unit
12.1. Introduction
Fig 12-1: RB-LI2 Front Panel
The RB-LI2 stereo line isolation unit is used to isolate audio signals from inter area
ground hum loops, which could be caused by equipment being powered by different
mains power supplies, or different phases on the same supply. The input and output
are connected together through a transformer, which has internal jumpers allowing
the outputs to be balanced about ground.
There is also a loop-through output, so that the RB-LI2 can be inserted into a line,
forming a transformer balanced distribution point.
This unit is useful where audio is required to be driven over a relatively long length of
cable. By isolating the signal using transformers, ground loop currents that can be
present in non-isolated signals, are eradicated completely.
