INTERCONNECT WIRING
AUDIO FRAME - ANALOG
The MRX Analog Audio Switching System is designed to accept both balanced and unbalanced
audio signals having an input level of +26dBu or less in to Hi-Z (+24 dBu into 600Ω). Balanced audio
signals are connected to the audio frame via a 3-wire cable attached to the 3-position, detachable, terminal
block. Unbalanced signals can utilize a 2-wire conductor and connect the ground wire to both the “C” and “-
“ terminals on the 3-position, detachable, terminal block.
There is an individual connector assigned for each input and output. To achieve termination on the
audio switch module, a load resistor may be added across the terminal block where the incoming wire is
attached.
Audio frames can be configured as a full 32x32 matrix or the frame may be partitioned to
accommodate multiple channels. The figure below shows an audio frame configured for a channel of 32x32.
In applications utilizing stereo audio, two 1RU frames are required, one for each channel.
Outputs 1-32 Channel 1
Inputs 1-32 Channel 1
AUDIO FRAME - DIGITAL
Digital audio frames are available in two configurations - the MRX-TDAF for balanced audio signals
(AES-3 1992) and the MRX-CDAF for unbalanced audio (AES-3 ID). Unlike analog audio, where the same
connectors can be utilized for both types of signal, the digital audio frames have different rear panels for
each model. The MRX-TDAF (balanced digital audio) rear panel contains 3-position detachable terminal
blocks to accept a 3-conductor cable and each is terminated with a 110Ω resistor on the PCB. The MRX-
CDAF (unbalanced digital audio) rear panel contains BNC’s to be used with coaxial cable and are
terminated with a 75Ω resistor on the PCB. There is a separate connector assigned for each input and
output.
Audio frames can be configured as a full 32x32 matrix. The figure below shows an audio frame
configured for a channel of 32x32.
