13. RB-PLI6 6 Way Mono Passive Line
Isolation Unit
13.1. Introduction
Fig 13-1: RB-PLI6 Front Panel
The RB-PLI6 6 way mono passive 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 phases on the same supply.
The input and output are connected together through a transformer and the unit has
internal jumpers allowing the inputs and/or outputs to be balanced about ground. The
unit requires no mains power for operation.
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.
