PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The IPC-2 is a twin active IHF to professional stereo level-matching interface.
The IPC-2 is designed to interface twin IHF consumer (-10dBv or –20dBv) products with
professional (+4/+8dBu) audio equipment. The IPC-2 is equipped with twin stereo
output level controls. The IHF inputs feature gold plated phone (RCA) jacks, while the
professional outputs are provided with removable screw terminals and are active
balanced insuring immunity from hum and RF pick-up. The direct-coupled circuitry
provides for sonic transparency.
APPLICATIONS
Twin active IHF to professional stereo level-matching interface for digital audio
systems, R-Dat, Mini-Disk, Cassette, CD player, etc.
POWER
2.1mm coaxial type (barrel) power connector and 16.5Vac @ 600ma wall
transformer. (220 Vac 50-60 Hz wall transformer OPTIONAL)
PROFESSIONAL OUTPUT CONNECTORS
Removable Screw Terminals
IHF INPUT CONNECTORS
Gold phono (RCA) connectors
INSTALLATION
Installation of the IPC-2 in high RF environments should be performed with
care. Shielded cable is suggested for all audio inputs and outputs. All shields should
be tied to the Ground terminals. The station ground should be connected to the chassis
ground screw located on the far right side of the IPC-2 as viewed from the rear. It is
recommended that all cables connected to the IPC-2 be looped through ferrite cores to
suppress RF. Surge protection with RF filtering such as the Tripp Lite “ISOBAR 4 or 6”
is also suggested for the wall transformer.
The IPC-2 is a breeze to install. The professional outputs are connected via
removable screw terminals. Installation of the IPC-2 consists of five steps:
1. Inspection
2. Bench test
3. Mount the unit
4. Connect your equipment to the unit
5. Adjust levels
