Note:
: In the <u>standard</u> and <u>Katalyst</u> Exaktboxes PIN1 on the XLR connection is left unconnected for better isolation. 
: But on the <u>Organik</u> outputs <u>PIN1 IS connected to PIN3</u>
<br><br>

=Audio Transformer=
:The audio transformer is there to electrically either isolate the Klimax DSM from the connected amplifier or from the connected source.
:The transformer can help to eliminate ground noise in some situations, such as mains electrical without a mains earth. 
: Some people prefer the sound with this transformer enabled, some with it disabled, so we have provided the option.
