Jerome...that's exactly what it does.
By the way, I agree with the above comments that unless you are running very long interconnects between equipment, the difference between SE and balanced connections is not noticeable except for the 6dB attenuation that
tima mentioned. So on the same preamp volume setting, the SE will be 6dB lower than through a balanced collection. But if you level match the signal (using an SPL) than you should hear no difference between SE and balanced in typical lengths of ICs.
