9. Set screws These 4 screws are used to hold the machine bed (including PCB board and power module) and machine housing together. For repair's sake, ASUS technicians may need a small screwdriver to loosen the 4 screws to remove the front panel and then draw the machine bed out for checking PCB board (or power module).

Unbalanced RCA Output (line-out) Conventional stereo outputs for connection to the line-level phono/RCA inputs of a speaker NOTES: • Most audio equipment has unbalanced audio inputs and outputs. This means that the audio output (left, right, or mono) appears on a single wire, and is referenced to "0V" or "Ground". Typical connectors used are RCA "phono" connectors and 1/4" (6.3mm) or 1/8" (3.5mm) jack plugs/ sockets. • Unbalanced audio works well for short cable runs in low noise environments. For long distances connection or complex setups where RF noise may be a problem, Balanced XLR Output is recommended to eliminate unwanted noises. 2. Balanced XLR Output(line-out) ASUS Essence One Series also features true balanced (XLR) outputs. Connect Essence One Series with equipment such as speakers of Balanced XLR connections. NOTES: • A lot of professional equipment will have balanced audio inputs and outputs, usually on 3-pin "XLR" connectors. The line is said to be balanced since the two signal carrying conductors are of equal (though opposite) potential. • Balanced XLR Output is a higher quality output that can reject noise and interference with equipment with balanced inputs, especially perfect for long cable runs or anywhere that induced noises might be a problem 16 ASUS Essence One Series
