[AG-TECH] Old documentation missing?

[Robert Olson]

You can get by by wiring the unbalanced output from PC directly to  
the balanced input by taking the signal from PC and going to +  on  
gentner. Ground from PC goes to - and ground on gentner.

To go the other way, wire the gentner + to PC signal, and ground to  
ground, leaving gentner - floating.

You'll have a roughly 10dB signal difference; when I've set this up  
in the past I made that adjustment on the gentner input and output  
attached that way, so that the levels elsewhere in the system match.
