Balanced Line Driver RF-BLD
Balanced Line Driver RF-BLD
The RF-BLD is a 2-channel line driver that boosts low source unit signals or drives amplifiers located a long distance to the back of a vehicle. The BLD features Single Ended or Balanced Differential mode to eliminate noise.

Overview
If your source unit has low output voltage or your amplifiers are located far back in a Van or SUV, the BLD is a perfect for your system. Featuring 'Balanced Differential' or 'Single Ended' mode, its high voltage output combined with a low output impedance will drive large arrays of amplifiers without breaking a sweat. In 'Balanced Differential' mode, it's twisted pair design also helps eliminate radiated noise through electrical cancellation.

Balanced/Unbalanced Signal Output
The Balanced and Unbalanced mode allows the output signal to properly match the input of the amplifier. This results in better noise rejection.

Popular Questions
What is the purpose of the 3Sixty Balanced Line Driver?
- Line Driver: Boosts source signal to help eliminate noise.
- Line Level Converter: Converts speaker level signal to RCA for OEM integration applications.
- Turn On Source: Can provide power remote turn on for applications missing turn on source.
- Unbalanced to Balanced Converter: Provides either unbalanced or balanced output signal to better integrate with any system.
- High to Low Output Impedance Converter: Converts the source unit's high output impedance by providing a super low impedance to your amplifier. This reduces the chance of noise being introduced into the audio path.
Can I use the 3Sixty BLD with my 3Sixty.1 or 3Sixty.2 signal processor?3Sixty.1 & 3Sixty.2 provides enough signal boost for Rockford Fosgate amplifiers.
If more boost is needed, the Balanced Line Driver can be used in the same system.
Will I get Balanced output from the Balanced Line Driver when using a standard unbalanced RCA input?The Balanced Line Driver can provide either unbalanced or balanced output signal regardless of the type of input signal.
Why does the 3Sixty BLD output voltage double in "Balanced Mode"?Unbalanced mode only has signal on the positive wire (+) of the RCA. Balanced mode has the same signal on both positive (+) and negative (-) wires, therefore the signal voltage is doubled.
Will I hear a difference when moving the output switch on the BLD between "Balanced" and "Unbalanced"?User may hear a slight difference in output, but potential of hearing a change in perceivable noise is greater.
