Placement and Initial Setup
Because the PRe6 runs so cool it can be placed in many system locations without compromise. We do not rec- ommend placing weights or other objects directly on the PRe6. This may mar or scratch the chassis fin- ish. Do not use harsh chemicals when cleaning the outside of your PRe6.
Single Ended RCA and Balanced XLR connectors are available. XLR jacks allow balanced hookup using the standard North American pin config- uration:
Pin 1 Ground
Pin 2 Input +
Pin 3 Input -
IMPORTANT: Make all connections before powering your unit.
