Stereo Audio Balun (500027)
Quick Installation Guide
Introduction
The VideoEase Stereo Audio Balun (500027) allows unbalanced line level stereo audio to
be transmitted up to 5,000 ft (1.5km) via unshielded copper twisted pair (UTP) in a
point-to-point connection. The product is designed for mid-range audio applications.
Used in pairs, the Stereo Audio Balun eliminates costly and bulky audio cable, allowing
audio equipment to be connected or moved within a structured cabling environment. The
500027 also works in conjunction with other MuxLab audio-video products including the
500200, 500012, 500001 and 500019 for a more complete cabling solution. Applications
include; audio distribution, custom residential systems and intercom systems.
Installation
To install the Stereo Audio Baluns, perform the following steps:
1. One pair of Stereo Audio Baluns is required for each stereo channel.
2. Identify the pin configuration of the baluns. Two (2) twisted pairs are required
as shown in the following diagram.
