3.4 Choose Input Wire
and Connectors
Crown recommends using pre-built or profes-
sionally wired, balanced line (two-conductor
plus shield), 22-24 gauge cables and connec-
tors. Depending upon which amplifier input you
choose, you should use either 3-pin male XLR
connectors, TRS phone connectors, or terminal
forks at the amplifier inputs.
Unbalanced lines may also be used but may
result in noise over long cable runs.
The amplifier input connectors not used for
audio signal input may be used to daisy-chain
the audio signal to other components.
Figure 3.3 shows connector pin assignments for
balanced wiring, and Figure 3.4 shows connec-
tor pin assignments for unbalanced wiring
NOTE: Custom wiring should only be
performed by qualified personnel.
