I got a Denon headunit and it has RJ-45 outputs. They are balanced. The RCA outputs are not balanced. Anybody know what I can use on those balanced RJ-45 output?
Thanks

You can get an EQ-232 as it has an RJ-45 balanced input.

Does the ZPA line of amps use this type of input? How about any crossovers or processors or maybe a line driver?


Dam. Ever woke up from a bad dream and cant shake it off? Dreaming of worms crawling just under your skin? Trying to stop them from getting anywhere but cant cause they strong and slip past.? I need some coffee....:-/

Probably. There's also the TBA2 (I think that's what it's called) receiver that does RJ-45 balanced... don't know about the ZPAs though because I always see those for sale with a TBA T/R combo... I haven't checked the manual though so don't quote me on that.

Ok. Thanks. You led me in the right direction. Ill try downloading some manuals to see if I can use this with something PG makes. Thanks allot!

ooh denons have balanced output then...really cool

Yea the really expensive rare units do. They seem to be the same as the type PG uses. I wont know till I plug them together. Worse thing that could happen is I break one or both of the units cause the wiring isnt the same.
But since they are both RJ-45 I think it will work.

the RJ-45 is just the plug and the twisted pairs crimped to it could be of any configuration.
but i think since denon and PG do have some history working together
( the rare PG HU is a denon rite) , their RJ45 wiring is probably is the same. Just a guess.
but have u tried emailing Denon support on this ? could help.

Yep... TBA's ZPA's (incl. ZPAXO), EQ232's etc. all take RJ45 balanced. Note that the early EQ230's have a PS2 style plug... you can convert the connection if you want though.

they only made the one

if anyone requires the pdf of the wiring config on the rj45 and ps2 just pm me your email addy.

i made a cable using a shilded cat5e cable to go from my pg ti1(z1) headunit to eq230 and works a treat

this is GREAT guys. Thanks!
