I just purchased a Zapco amp that came with a Symbilink Transmitter/Cable. The manual does not explain much.

My newest HU is an Eclipse 8053 that already has balanced line outs with no internal amp. I have the Balanced Line Adapter to take care of the balanced in/outputs. My question is how do I connect the Symbilink cables if I already have a Balanced Line output. Will this not be a double increase of the high voltage? I dont want to damage my new shining Zapco amp.

I think what you need is this. It is an RCA Male to Symbilink cable. The SLRCM.01 Symbilink is just Zapcos proprietary connector for balanced inputs to their devices. You won't need the BLA, but I would call Zapco just to make sure. The amp will take all the output voltage that deck can provide. Zapco's phone number is (209) 577-4268. (The area code MAY have changed to 559 - so if the first does not work, try the second one)

The guys at Zapco are really cool, and will help you out. Call 'em and make sure it'll do what you need it to do!

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."
