Balanced to Unbalanced Connections
Inputs 1 (& 3) (Left & Right)
The XLR 3 pin sockets used for the left and right channel signals of Inputs 1 & 3 are
electronically balanced and have an impedance of 20kΩ bridging. They are routed to
unbalanced RCA (phono) outputs with an output impedance of <50Ω. Each XLR has the
following connections:
Pin 1: Screen.
Pin 2: Phase.
Pin 3: Non-phase.
RCA Phono Outputs 1 (& 3) (Left & Right)
These RCA (phono) outputs are unbalanced and have an output impedance of <50Ω.
Output Level Adjustment
The output gain can be individually adjusted for left and right channels through pre-set
potentiometers which are accessible through the rear panel. The gain of the balanced
to unbalanced converter is variable within a range of 0dBu to -28dBu ref -0dBu into the
balanced input.
Unbalanced to Balanced Connections
RCA Phono Inputs 2 (& 4) (Left & Right)
The left and right RCA inputs 2 & 4 are unbalanced and have an impedance of 10kΩ.
They are routed to the balanced XLR 3 pin outputs 2 & 4.
Outputs 2 (& 4) (Left & Right)
The XLR 3 pin output plug connectors are electronically balanced with an output
impedance of <50Ω. They have the following connections:
Pin 1: Screen.
Pin 2: Phase.
Pin 3: Non-phase.
