hi to all experts!

i am still waiting for my e4k turbo to arrive,
so i read the manual meanwhile. (this will be my first emu...)

can someone explain to me what is mentioned in the manual:

"Tip: Use a stereo
plug if you want the
sample inputs to be
balanced (tip -, ring +)."

i want to order some cable adapters, should i order
a cinch adapter mono or stereo?

maybe this question sounds stupid, but please answer anyway!

cheers

Cinch (aka RCA or phono) cables are not balanced, therefore you only need mono adapters.

For more info on balanced cables try here:
