With the many I/O card options available to the Biamp family and the multitude of wiring formats and schemes in
the industry, it can be dif cult to remember how to wire certain things for proper operation. This article shows the
most typical wiring schemes used with Biamp Audia and Nexia hardware.

Inputs
Note: Input wiring schemes apply to both the IP-2 and AEC-2HD cards.

Balanced Mic/Line Input

Unbalanced Line Input

Stereo Unbalanced Line Input

Note: For this wiring scheme, two input channels are required; one for the right channel signal and one for the left
channel signal.

Outputs

Balanced Line Output / Unbalanced Line Output

For unbalanced connections the Biamp default output level of 24dBu may be too high. Lowering the output level in
the Output block will allow you to avoid overdriving the input of the next device.

Unbalanced Line Out (2 channels) to "Stereo" TRS connection

For unbalanced connections the Biamp default output level of 24dBu may be too high. Lowering the output level in
the Output block will allow you to avoid overdriving the input of the next device.

Single channel per speaker output for 4-ohm or 8-ohm speakers.
Bridged-mono speaker output for 4-ohm or 8-ohm speakers.

Telephone lines

Audia Telephone Interface Card (TI-2)

Note: This example shows two telephone lines although both are not required for proper operation. Analog
telephones connected to the system are not required either but could enhance the system capabilities and / or
functionality.

Connectors
Biamp products use 0.2" (5.08mm) pitch Phoenix or euro-block connections for most audio inputs and outputs. 

Serial (RS-232) wiring

A straight through PC Serial Cable is used to communicate from an RS-232 port on a third-party controller (or PC*)
