Muxlab Stereo Audio Balun - Manual (Page 2)

© MuxLab Inc.
Note: The Stereo Audio Balun is phase polarity sensitive. Therefore, in order to
achieve full stereo audio quality, please ensure that the wiring is straight-through and
according to EIA568 (A or B) standard.
3. Verify the colors of the RCA plugs and connect one (1) Stereo Audio Balun to
the left-audio and right-audio RCA connectors of the audio source.
4. Verify the colors of the RCA plugs and connect a second Stereo Audio Balun to
the left-audio and right-audio RCA connectors of the audio receiver at the
remote end.
5. Complete the connection between the two (2) baluns, using standard UTP
cable, connector blocks and appropriate modular RJ45 outlets.
6. Power-on the audio equipment and check the audio quality. The audio should
be clear within the maximum specified distances. The following diagram shows
a typical configuration.
