Functional Description
As shown in the simplified functional diagram on the following page, the IN
connectors receive balanced audio input from the CNXRMCLV on pins 1, 2, 3, and
6. The balanced audio is buffered, routed to pins 1, 2, 3, and 6 of the OUT connector,
and supplied to the CNX-BIPAD8. The balanced audio is also converted to
unbalanced audio and supplied to the RCA connectors for distribution to the CNX-
BIPAD8, amplifiers, or other room boxes. Balanced audio from the CNX-BIPAD8 is
supplied to pins 4, 5, 7, and 8 of the OUT connector, and passed through to pins 4, 5,
7, and 8 of the IN connector, to be supplied to the CNXRMCLV.
