| The ZynAuCon module improves and simplifies the audio wiring by using a small ribbon cable for driving the 4 balanced channels (2 inputs + 2 outputs) to the 4 high-quality Neutrik TSR case-connectors. For mounting the ZynAuCon, secure the 2 x 15mm separators with 2 x black-anodized bolts M2.5. Next, you have to insert the board from inside the case and secure them with the 4 x nuts from the outside. Use a wrench for tightening the nuts, but not too much, and take care of not damaging the surface of the nice aluminum case!! | | The ZynAuCon module improves and simplifies the audio wiring by using a small ribbon cable for driving the 4 balanced channels (2 inputs + 2 outputs) to the 4 high-quality Neutrik TSR case-connectors.
