TSD-ZDC
Audio Impedance Combiner/Divider
Description
Owner’s Manual
The Atlas Sound TSD-ZDC is a universal impedance divider/combiner for passively summing or splitting of mic or line level signals. Features include four balanced 10KΩ and four balanced 150Ω inputs/outputs that may be passively split or combined in any arrangement.
Typical applications include:
• Passive summation of multiple 150Ω mics or stereo 10KΩ sources
• Passive splitting of 150Ω or 10KΩ input sources to multiple outputs
The TSD-ZDC is part of a full line of Atlas Sound Time Saving Devices. These compact
(1.5" x 4" x 2.75") units are designed to solve some of the common audio system problems in the easiest and in the most efficient and cost-effective way. All models are made from high quality components and include removable individual I/O connectors for quick and precise wiring, separate ground terminals for all I/Os assuring secured connections, and allows easy standalone mounting with either included Velcro/mounting brackets or can be rack mounted with an optional rack adapter kit that can hold up to four TSD devices in a 1RU space.
Features
• 1 In x 3 Out, 2 In x 2 Out, 150Ω Input/Outputs
• 1 In x 3 Out, 2 In x 2 Out, 10K Input/Outputs
• Split or Combine Any Signal
• RF Filtering on All Inputs
• Individual Input Grounds
• Removable I/O Connectors
• No External Power Required
• Compact Chassis Design
Audio Applications

TSD Input/Output connections are removable for easy system wiring. The connector has a 3.5mm pitch between pins.
1. 150 Ohm Balanced Input/Output Connectors - Connect low impedance inputs and outputs to the
(+), (-), and (G) terminals. Note the polarity of the device(s) you connect to the TSD-ZDC, reversing
the polarity can cause sound quality issues.
2. 10K Ohm Input/Output Connectors - Connect high impedance inputs and outputs to the (+), (-), and
(G) terminals. Note the polarity of the device(s) you connect to the TSD-ZDC, reversing the polarity
can cause sound quality issues.
3. Cable Management Retainer Points - Each TSD includes two cable retainer straps for securing
the included cable management retainers. Remove one of the rear panel screws, align the
panel hole with a retainer and firmly tighten the screws.
