BrightEye 33 Rear Connectors
Power Connection
Connect a modular power supply to the 12 volt DC power input connection on the far left of the unit.
Use the locking ring to secure it.
Analog Audio Input
This 6-pin Phoenix connector provides two channels of analog audio input. This connector is fitted
with a pluggable terminal block that accepts bare wire leads. Wires can be inserted into the small
round holes. Strip the audio wire to about 3/8” (8 mm). Solder tinning is not required. To remove the
wire, push in the pin above the connection with a small pointed tool. This will release the wire from the
connector.
Follow the legend to connect the Ground (G), Positive (+), and Negative (-) connections for each signal.
Ch 1 corresponds to the left channel in a stereo system, and Ch 2 corresponds to the right channel.
Analog Audio Outputs
The four Analog Audio Outputs provide 8 Mono Outputs or 4 Stereo Outputs of Analog Audio.
Each Audio Out connector provides two channels of balanced analog audio (1 pair). These connectors
are each fitted with a pluggable terminal block that accepts bare wire leads. Wires can be inserted into
the small round holes. Strip the audio wire to about 3/8” (8 mm). Solder tinning is not required. To
remove the wire, push in the pin above the connection with a small pointed tool. This will release the
wire from the connector.
Follow the legend to connect the Ground (G), Positive (+), and Negative (-) connections for each signal.
Ch 1 corresponds to the left channel in a stereo system, and Ch 2 corresponds to the right channel.
If connecting to an unbalanced (single-ended) destination, such as a consumer speaker amplifier, with
shielded coaxial style audio cable, connect the center conductor to the Positive (+) terminal. Then
connect the outer conductor to both the Ground (G) and Negative (-) terminals.
