Passive Packs
The passive packs are a range of small ulity products which use transformers to change audio input & output impedances and levels and to distribute audio signals. There are a range of different products to suit different needs: CM-HPR1 Headphone Volume Control CM-HPX1 Headphone Volume Control CM-ULR1 Unbal to Bal Audio Converter CM-ULX1 Unbal to Bal Audio Converter CM-LUR1 Bal to Unbal Audio Converter CM-LUX1 Bal to Unbal Audio Converter CM-AESX3 3 Way Dig AES3 Splier, XLR CM-AESB3 3 Way Dig AES3ID Splier, BNC CM-MS3 3 Way Microphone Splier
CM-MNT1 Desk Mount Panel
All of the products, along with the CM-TBU and CM-TLL, can be mounted to the underside of a desk using the CM-MNT1 desk mount plate. This fixes to the top side of the product and screws to the underside of a surface.

CM-LUR1 & CM-LUX1 Balanced to Unbalanced Audio Converters
Fig 1-1: CM-LUR1 Front & Rear View These two products allow the connecon of a stereo balanced line input (RJ45 on the CM-LUR1 with StudioHub+TM pinout, 2 x female XLRs on the CM-LUX1) to a stereo unbalanced output on stereo phono connectors. They are transformer balanced, with a 2:1 rao, so 6dB of aenuaon is added to the input to help interface with the lower signal levels associated with consumer outputs. These units are passive versions of the RB-LU4 (though only 1 x stereo channel), and provide you with an alternave to having to interface a balanced output to an unbalanced input via specialist cables (either by shorng the non-phase to ground or disconnecng it). They are parcularly useful where a shared balanced audio feed needs interfacing to an unbalanced input on one or more pieces of equipment. Using a CM-LUR1 or CM-LUX1 galvanically isolates the audio, allowing you to connect via phono cables to an unbalanced input without compromising the distributed feed.

RCA Phono Analogue Outputs (CM-LUR1 & CM-LUX1)
Both units use a stereo unbalanced line output on a RCA phono connector with the following connecons:
