The Whirlwind MIP6 media input plates are passive devices that convert modern unbalanced inputs into balanced signals that can be sent to remote audio processing equipment without active preamplification. They are single gang wallplates for permanent installation in churches, conference rooms, banquet halls and in many other applications. Each is available in a black or clear brushed aluminum finish The circuit provides balancing and isolation of the input source with minimal signal loss, and Faraday shielding
gives protection from external interference. Output connections on the rear circuit board are 3.5mm screw type removable plugsThe MIP6 is a stereo to mono line converter and balancing device. Stereo inputs can be connected to the 3.5mm TRS jack or the left and right RCA jacks. The inputs are permanently summed to mono and balanced with a single 1:1 transformer. A single 3 pin screw terminal plug is provided for output connection. A Ground Lift switch breaks the ground connection between the inputs and the output screw terminal. Insertion loss is approximately 1.7 dB for summed inputs and 7.7 dB for a single mono source, measured into a 2 kOhm load.
