Unbalanced RCA Output (line-out)Conventional stereo outputs for connection to the line-level phono/RCA inputs of aspeakerNOTES:• Most audio equipment has unbalanced audio inputs and outputs. This meansthat the audio output (left, right, or mono) appears on a single wire, and isreferenced to “0V” or “Ground”. Typical connectors used are RCA “phono”connectors and 1/4” (6.3mm) or 1/8” (3.5mm) jack plugs/ sockets.• Unbalanced audio works well for short cable runs in low noise environments.For long distances connection or complex setups where RF noise may be aproblem, Balanced XLR Output is recommended to eliminate unwanted noises.2.

Connect XonarEssence One with equipment such as speakers of Balanced XLR connections.NOTES:• A lot of professional equipment will have balanced audio inputs and outputs,usually on 3-pin “XLR” connectors. The line is said to be balanced since thetwo signal carrying conductors are of equal (though opposite) potential.• Balanced XLR Output is a higher quality output that can reject noise andinterference with equipment with balanced inputs, especially perfect for longcable runs or anywhere that induced noises might be a problem
