8.0 CABLING

For the BASIC Series Intercom system the interconnecting

cables are of the shielded two-conductor microphone

cable type and the intercom line connectors are of the

XLR-3 type. Audio and Call signals are on XLR pin 3, DC

power is on XLR pin 2. XLR pin 1 is connected to the

shield of the cable which functions as the common return

for audio and power.

Since the audio signal is transferred in an

unbalanced

way, certain rules have to be obeyed when installing the

cables of an intercom network. This in order to avoid earth

loops and to minimize power loss and the possible effect

of electromagnetical fields.

These rules are:

Use high quality (multipair) cable. Keep cables parallel as much as possible.
