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

Ω and four balanced 150Ω inputs/outputs that may be passively split or combined in any arrangement.

Typical applications include:

• 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.
