5.3.1. Balanced to Unbalanced Connections
5.3.1.1. Inputs 1 (& 3) (Left & Right)
The XLR 3 pin sockets used for the left and right channel signals of Input 1 / 1 & 3 are
electronically balanced and have an impedance of 20k bridging. They are routed to
an unbalanced RCA (phono) outputs with an output impedance of <50. Each XLR
has the following connections:
Pin 1: Screen.
Pin 2: Phase.
Pin 3: Non-phase.
5.3.1.2. RCA Phono Outputs 1 (& 3) (Left & Right)
These RCA (phono) outputs are unbalanced and have an output impedance of <50.
5.3.1.3. 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.
5.3.2. Unbalanced to Balanced Connections
5.3.2.1. RCA Phono Inputs 2 (& 4) (Left & Right)
The two / four left and right RCA inputs are unbalanced and have an impedance of
10k. They are routed to the two / four balanced XLR 3 pin output connectors.
5.3.2.2. Outputs 2 (& 4) (Left & Right)
The XLR 3 pin output plug connectors are electronically balanced with an output
impedance of <50. They have the following connections:
Pin 1: Screen.
Pin 2: Phase.
Pin 3: Non-phase.
