TL Audio 5060 - Manual (Page 8)

Unbalanced inputs:
- Screen = Ground,
- Tip = Signal Phase (“+” or “hot”),
- Ring = Ground.
Good quality screened cable should be used, particularly for microphone or low level sources, to prevent hum or noise pickup.
Refer to Figure 3 for rear panel connector identification.
Please note that if a mono source is connected to line input 1 only, it will be automatically routed to both channels of the
5060.
3.4 Instrument
Inputs.
Each channel has a high impedance (1Mohm) 0.25” instrument jack socket on the front panel (see Figure 2). A 2 pin
(mono) jack plug is required, which should be wired as follows:
- Tip = Signal Phase (“+” or “hot”),
- Screen = Ground.
Please note that if a mono source is connected to instrument input 1 only, it will be automatically routed to both channels
of the 5060.
3.5
Balanced Line Outputs.
The line outputs are via 3 pin TRS jack sockets on the rear panel, and may be configured for balanced or unbalanced
connection. Balanced operation is always preferable to maintain maximum headroom and signal to noise ratio, but can only
be used if the following equipment is also capable of balanced operation:
Balanced outputs:
- Screen = Ground,
- Tip = Signal Phase (“+” or “hot”),
- Ring = Signal Non-Phase (“-” or “cold”).
Unbalanced outputs:
- Screen = Ground,
- Tip = Signal Phase (“+” or “hot”),
