Stereo PC-Audio Balun (500030) 

Quick Installation Guide 

 

 

 

Introduction 

 
The VideoEase Stereo  PC-Audio Balun (500030)  allows unbalanced line level stereo 
audio to be transmitted up to 5,000 ft (1.5km) via unshielded copper twisted pair (UTP) 
in a point-to-point connection.  The product is designed for mid-range audio applications.  
Used in pairs, the  Stereo PC-Audio Balun eliminates costly and bulky audio cable, 
allowing audio equipment to be connected or moved within a structured cabling 
environment.  The  500030 also works in conjunction with other MuxLab audio-video 
products including the  500001,  500012, 500019, 500027 and  500200 for a more 
complete cabling solution. Applications include; audio distribution, custom residential 
systems and intercom systems.
