The diagram below shows how to connect the 840A to the Azur 840C
Upsampling CD player using the Balanced Audio inputs via three-pin XLR
connectors (Note: the 840A can also be connected to non-Cambridge
Audio sources with balanced outputs).
Balanced connections in an audio system are designed to reject
electrical noise, from power wiring etc, and also the effects of noise
currents flowing through ground connections. The basic principle of

balanced interconnection is to get the signal you want by subtraction,
using a three-wire connection. One signal wire (the hot or in-phase)
carries the normal signal, while other (the cold or phase-inverted)
carries an inverted version. The balanced input senses the difference
between the two lines to give the wanted signal. Any noise voltages that
appear identically on both lines (these are called common-mode
signals) are cancelled by the subtraction. An additional advantage is
that the connection effectively carries twice the signal level and so
improves the signal-to-noise ratio.
The 840A and 840C are designed to work at their highest performance
when a balanced interconnect is used; high quality stereo XLR to XLR
interconnects should be used.
