Single Grimm Audio TPR cable.

Please choose your desired length and connectors.

For 3-pin to 2-pin connections we deliver two different layouts, depending on the electronic output topology of your device.

In general, there exist two different types of outputs: electronically balanced outputs and transformer balanced outputs:

• The electronically balanced output is the most common and usually consists of 2 output buffers that drive the signal in positive and negative phase, both relative to ground.
• The transformer-output usually has no direct electrical ground reference, but just a balanced signal on pin 2 and pin 3.

NOTE
Some transformer equipped outputs have a ground reference in the center of the output-winding. These types of outputs should be treated as if they were electronically balanced.

NOTE 2
Electronically balanced outputs exist that behave like a transformer balanced output (their ‘common mode impedance’ from pin 2 and 3 to ground is very high). These type of outputs should be treated as if they were transformer balanced. Please consult the manual or manufacturer of your device, to check what kind of output it has.The different types of output systems demand for different types of cable assemblies. When the ‘transformer’ cable assembly type is used on an electronically balanced output, half of the signal will be shorted to ground. This generates dissipation in the output stage and in rare cases can even break the output stage of the device. In the other case, when the ‘electronically balanced’ cable assembly type is used on a transformer output, no signal connection is achieved.
