Alice MatchPAK MKII Stereo Unbalanced to Balanced Audio Converter

Product Overview

The Alice MatchPAK MKII is a compact bi-directional stereo level-matching unit for interfacing unbalanced semi-professional equipment with professional balanced line-level systems. It provides four Neutrik balanced connectors and four RCA unbalanced sockets, allowing you to convert signals in either direction without hum loops or excessive noise. Factory settings provide nominal attenuation from pro line to domestic gear and corresponding gain from domestic outputs back up to studio line level, so you can integrate consumer players, recorders and small mixers into full broadcast or studio workflows. Multi‑turn presets accessible from the front panel let engineers fine‑tune gain structure for each installation.

Key Features

• • Stereo bi-directional unbalanced to balanced audio converter for level matching between semi-pro and professional systems.

• • Four Neutrik balanced connectors and four RCA unbalanced connectors for flexible interfacing of domestic and studio equipment.

• • Balanced input to unbalanced output: 20k ohm input impedance, >60dB common-mode rejection, up to +26dBu input level and wideband 20Hz–20kHz frequency response.

• • Unbalanced input to balanced output: 22k ohm input impedance, very low output impedance and 20Hz–20kHz response with low noise and distortion.

• • Typical gain range from around -26dB attenuation to +26dB gain depending on path, with internal adjustments for precise line-up.

• • Low distortion around 0.005% and noise below -94dB to -100dB referenced to typical operating levels for clean audio.

• • Operates from 230V AC mains (115V available to order) with low power consumption in a small desktop or rack-mountable metal enclosure.

Applications

Use the Alice MatchPAK MKII whenever you need to connect domestic or semi-pro sources such as CD players, media streamers, reference recorders or DJ mixers into professional balanced studio, OB or broadcast environments. It is equally useful for feeding domestic recording devices from balanced console outputs while preserving headroom, noise performance and proper operating levels.
