Installation Guide
Introduction
The VideoEase Analog Audio Balun allows any unbalanced analogue audio signal to
be transmitted via a single unshielded twisted pair (UTP) cable for more versatile
cabling. Used in pairs, the Audio Balun eliminates costly and bulky coax cable,
allowing consumer and commercial audio equipment to be connected using standard
premises wiring techniques. One or two pair of baluns is required depending on
whether the application is for monaural or stereo audio. The Audio Balun features
screw terminals and built-in cable strain relief for ease of installation and reliable
connectivity.
Installation
To install the Audio Baluns, perform the following steps:
1. Depending on the number of audio signals to be transmitted, use one pair of
Audio Baluns for each audio signal. For example; mono audio – two (2) baluns,
stereo audio - four (4) baluns, etc.
2. The Audio Balun is compact enough to allow multiple baluns to be mounted
adjacent to one another on the back of any audio equipment, thus eliminating
the need for RCA jumper cables and allowing maximum utilization of each
Category 5 cable.
