Hi

Ive just got a few Studiospares 48-Way Enhanced Studio Patchbays and was wondering if there Balanced or Unbalanced

Is there any way i can check

Sorry for the Noob question

Thanks

I think unbalanced inputs have 2 wires, signal and ground. Balanced should have 3 wires to each connector: signal, signal, ground.

So, if it’s easy to get a look inside from the back, see how many wires there are.

check for 3 solder points per side of each socket in the open end with pcb showing

2 per socket would be unbalanced

this is a custom pcb - ignore the layout
