Programmable Inputs

Programmable inputs are provided to enable external 

control over a variety of parameters.  Each input can 

respond to a contact closure, a DC voltage source, or 

the variable voltage output from a potentiometer.  The 

following illustrates common connections to the pro-

grammable input pins.

Programmable Outputs

Programmable outputs are used for several purposes:

• 

indicate the current state of a programmable input

• 

monitor activity on telephone or codec interfaces

• 

monitor active preset changes

Each programmable output is the electrical equivalent 

of a contact closure to ground. When a programmable 

output is “active,” it conducts current to ground. When 

the programmable output is “inactive,” no current flows 

to ground. The maximum usable voltage for the pro-

grammable outputs is 40 V and they will safely conduct 

up to 100 mA DC continuous.
Both LEDs and 5V relay coils can be powered by the 

+5 V DC pins on the programmable input connector, as 

long as the maximum combined current for all LEDS 

and relay coils does not exceed 100 mA.

Audio Outputs

The line outputs are a balanced differential configura-

tion which can drive balanced or unbalanced inputs on 

other audio equipment with the wiring shown here.
Balanced output to a balanced input is a straightforward 

“pin to pin” configuration.

Shield

Balanced output to unbalanced input with a 3-wire 

cable is connected with the cable shield added to the 

(–) terminal on the destination input.

Balanced output to unbalanced input with a 2-wire cable 

is connected with the output (–) connected to the cable 

shield at the processor output.

Power Amp Outputs

Each output can drive a 

variety of loads, including 

loudspeakers, long cable 

runs and headphones. 

The BTL (bridge tied load) 

configuration allows the 

two channels to be wired 

in parallel on a common 

load to double the output 

power.
