5.1 MAYA44e Line Connectors
The line input and line output connectors of MAYA44e are unbalanced stereo, using a 1/4" TRS
connection. This means that in order to have separate stereo connectors, you might need to use a
special cable that is shown on the following picture. It converts one stereo (seen on the left) 1/4"
jack with two mono (typically left/white and right/red) 1/4" jacks for the separate mono signals.
The tip of the stereo TRS connector is connected with the tip of the left TS connector. The ring of
the stereo TRS connector is connected with the tip of the right TS connector. The sleeve is
connected with sleeve / ground of both channel connectors.
The same type of cables are typically used as so-called insert-cables to connect effects units to
many mixing consoles. This information might help you when you want to make or purchase such a
cable.
5.2 Connection Examples
