Star Configuration Example

The illustration below shows how System 8/10 P

LUS

units would be connected in

a Star configuration. If System 10 P

LUS

units were used, the only difference

would be in the input channel numbers.

_____ Important audio information! If audio connections are made balanced, there will

be +6 dB of gain. This gain must be offset with a pad, otherwise the maximum
input audio level could be exceeded on the audio input. This would result in
distortion. However, if audio connections are made unbalanced, there is no gain.

The audio attenuator(s)

on the last input of the
switcher(s) should be set
to 0 dB cut by turning the
attenuator clockwise
until it stops. This setting
will prevent the looped
input from affecting any
gain acquired from
preceding channels.
