Converting the Output of Unbalanced Devices
The S direct can be quite useful on stage or in the studio for connecting unbalanced
devices, particularly keyboards. The output levels of many keyboards are low, so their sig-
nals can benefit greatly by connecting their unbalanced outputs to the S direct. By doing
so the signal can be
sent cleanly for long
distances while ben-
efiting from the low
noise and common
mode rejection pro-
vided by S directʼs bal-
anced low-level out-
put. The diagram fol-
lowing shows a typical
hook-up for a stereo
keyboard connected to
a stereo stage monitor
system and the main
PA mixer.

This example may
appear to be the same as

this example, the S direct
