I'm troubleshooting a studio noise problem, and I've found that the outputs of my Monitor Station are not balanced. The TRS ring and sleeve are always at 0V. The tip signal is working properly. This is the same across all outputs.
Has anyone else had this issue or know a solution? I would guess it is a power supply fault, but without a circuit diagram it's hard work to troubleshoot further. Is a circuit diagram available for this? Thanks! |

Hi and welcome to this forum
 This does not need to be a fault. All balanced outputs are balanced for impedance on the hot and cold output terminals. An active cold terminal (with an inverted signal for differential signaling) is optional and many balanced outputs don't have it. Wiki has an article on balanced audio, explaining impedance balanced connections and the differences with a differential signaling connection. |

Hi Switchback
Thanks for your reply - that's a good point. Do you happen to know if Monitor Station outputs are just impedance balanced rather than using differential signalling? |

No. The specs don't even give a maximum output level, which would have given us a clue: +18dBu outputs tend to be single-ended where +24dBu outputs tend to be differential mode.
Looks like a question for customer support |
