ESI nEar04

Rear Panel

1. TRS input – these jacks accept TRS input connections, either balanced or unbalanced. For

balanced connections, a 3-conductor TRS plug is necessary. The TRS input is wired like this:

INPUT SIGNAL TRS CONNECTIONS

+ Tip

- Ring

Shield Sleeve

Unbalanced wiring works with either a 2- or 3-conductor TRS connector. A 2-conductor TRS plug

(or sometimes also just called TS plug) automatically grounds the minus signal input, whereas a 3-

conductor TRS plug wired unbalanced provides the option of leaving the minus open or grounded.

We recommend that you ground the unused input.

2. vent port –nEar04 is a vented box speaker system with a vent port on the rear panel. Make sure

you are not blocking the vent port (i.e. by putting the speaker too close to a wall) or the sound

colour will be changed.

3. speaker wire connection – use these connectors to connect the included speaker wire with the

second passive nEar04 speaker.

4. power switch – when you push the power switch, nEar04 will be turned on, and

–surprise– it will be turned off when you push the power switch again.
