Rane RE 27 - Manual (Page 7)

DIAGRAM III-1: MAIN SPEAKER EQUALIZATION
IMPORTANT NOTES:
HEAVY LINES INDICATE DIRECT CONNECTIONS TO RE 27 AND RE 14. Thinner lines show other
connections in the system for clarity.
1. The RE 27 and RE 14 inputs are automatic balanced/unbalanced. If the output of the mixer is
unbalanced, use a shielded mono 1/4" patch cord to the EQ input(s). If the mixer is balanced, use a
connecting cord with a stereo 1/4" plug on one end for the EQ input(s) and a three-pin or 1/4" jack for the
mixer as required.
2. To drive both left and right amplifier channels from a single RE 27 output, use a “Y” connector to split
the RE 27 output to both left and right inputs of the amp or crossover. (NOTE: If you have the good
fortune to be using a Rane crossover AC 22 or AC 23, you need only connect the single RE 27 output to
the Channel 2 input of the crossover—both left and right outputs will automatically be driven internallyto
eliminate the need for a “Y” connector.)
3. If the RE 27 or RE 14 is more than 10 feet from the amp rack be sure that the input of the electronic
crossover or amplifier is BALANCED. If not, obtain a direct box or balancing line transformer to be
installed at the input of the amp rack. Connect the RE 27 or RE 14 output (s) to the amp rack using a stereo
1/4" plug wired as shown in Diagram I I-1. Long runs of unbalanced lines will usually result in excessive hum
or buzz.
