Rockford Fosgate 50.2 Stereo Amplifier User Manual


 
The Balanced Line Inputs can be utilized with the optional Balanced Line Transmitter. Unlike standard RCA cables that use
two wires to carry the audio signal and ground, balanced lines use three. In a balanced line, the output signal and its inverted
replica travel down a pair of wires where the ground connects via the shield. As the amplifier receives the signals, it cancels
out whatever signals are common to both wires. The use of balanced lines helps in preventing radiated noise pickup in the
signal cables and has been proven effective in studio installation where long cable runs and magnetic fields make
maintaining signal integrity difficult.
