INTRODUCTION

Two-channel separator (line isolator). Equipped with RCA inputs and outputs, the Line Isolation Box enz is specially designed for connecting notebooks and sound cards to mixers, etc. Use the ground lift switch to disconnect the ground connection from the input and output to eliminate hum loops and other interference signals that can be caused by computers, for example.

CONNECTIONS AND OPERATING ELEMENTS

1. INPUT LEFT/RIGHT Unbalanced stereo line input with two RCA (cinch) sockets. Use a shielded stereo audio cable, for example, to connect a notebook to the Line Isolation Box.
2. OUTPUT LEFT/RIGHT Unbalanced stereo line output with two RCA (cinch) sockets. Use a shielded stereo audio cable to connect the Line Isolation Box to an unbalanced stereo input on a mixer or audio interface.
3. LIFT/GND Switch for disconnecting the ground connection from the input and output (ground lift). In the non-pressed position, the ground connection is disconnected; the connection is established when the switch is pressed. The ability to prevent a humming loop using the ground lift switch depends on the grounding of the connected devices. It is therefore possible that both one and the other switch position is able to effectively reduce or eliminate humming.

ATTENTION: Connecting signal cables can cause a lot of noise. Make sure that input channels from mixers and audio interfaces etc. are muted during plugging. Otherwise, noise levels may cause damage.

PLEASE NOTE: Strong magnetic fields can cause humming. Therefore, do not position the Line Insulation Box near strong magnetic fields (e.g. mains transformer).
