Converts unbalanced stereo -10dBv audio via two RCA/Phono jacks into professional +4dBu fully balanced lines on two XLR connectors. Ideal for a single playback-only consumer device. State-of-the-art analog circuitry is low-distortion, low-noise, and includes DC offset correction and our exclusive input stage that reduces ground-loop noise.
Professional applications use balanced audio for good reason. Balanced circuits offer many performance advantages compared to unbalanced audio, such as increased headroom and reduced noise from radiation and ground differentials. Sometimes, though, unbalanced devices are unavoidable. The Balancing Gadgets were made for those times.
