Is the L/mono line out a balanced output?
Thanks,
Billy...BTW...downloaded the manual here at work and didnt find the 
answer.
Thanks.

At first this sounded like a trick question. I had always thought of
mono=unbalanced, stereo=balanced, but after doing a quick web search there
is mono=unbalanced/balanced, where the tip/ring are unbonded/bonded,
respectively. Assuming I correctly understood what I read. (I have been
burning the midnight oil the past week, and the candle at both ends and in
the middle too! So don't shoot me if I wrong.)
You are right, the manual does not say if it is a mono un-balanced or mono
balanced (with tip/ring bonded). My guess would be un-balanced. You can't
tell from looking an the circuit board jack. So if nobody here knows for
sure, then we would need to ask Yamaha Tech. support or if you have a TRS
jack with a pig tale, you could plug it in and check the resistance between
the Tip/Ring. If you get an open circuit between Tip/Ring then they are not
bonded and thus un-balanced. 

This is my "Friday" heading into a 4-day weekend, so I have only one real
thought about now.

In the original DTXpress, the outputs are UNbalanced. On the Specs. 
page(64) They are listed as  " (mono phone jack)  ." Balanced needs 
stereo(TRS) jacks.
As for the DTXpress II....Looks in the Specs.

Hair Trigger. 

The DTXpress2 manual dosent spec it out. I did however call and 
a "Martin" called me back to inform me that it too is UNbalanced.
Later,
Billy
