INTRODUCTION

The wupper Line Isolation Box is equipped with 6.3 mm jack sockets on the input and output sides, which can be operated both balanced and unbalanced. There is galvanic isolation between input and output by means of a high- quality transformer, and hum loops are reliably eliminated. The Line Isolation Box is perfect for balancing audio signals, and audio signals can also be transmitted over long cable runs without hum.

CONNECTIONS

INPUT Line input with 6.3 mm jack socket suitable for both unbalanced and balanced cabling. Use a shielded audio cable to connect, for example, a keyboard to the Line Isolation Box.
OUTPUT Line output with 6.3 mm jack socket suitable for both unbalanced and balanced cabling. Use a shielded audio cable to connect the Line Isolation Box to an input of a mixer or audio interface.

CAUTION: Connecting signal cables can cause considerable noise. Pay attention to this, and make sure that input channels (mixer, audio interface, etc.) are muted when plugged in. Otherwise, noise levels can cause damage.
NOTE: Strong magnetic fields can cause humming. Therefore, do not position the Line Isolation Box near strong magnetic fields (e.g. mains transformer).
