0.775 volts). Select the center position (L) for line level signals up to +32 dBu. Slide it to the right (P) to provide 44 VDC to mics requiring phantom power.
Each input has a
Use a screwdriver to adjust the gain pot so that the input signal level plus gain equals roughly 0 dBu. You will need to know, or estimate, the level of the input source. Setting the source signal level to ap- proximately 0 dBu will provide 20 dBu of headroom in the input preamp. Some recommended settings follow in Figure 3.11:

Fig. 3.13 Unbalanced Audio Input Wiring
Figures
Balanced sources should be wired as shown below in Figure 3.12. Notice that the shield is not con- nected to the chassis ground of the source if the source is also connected to the AC ground (that is, it has a grounded AC plug). This prevents unwanted ground loops.
Unbalanced sources should be wired as shown below in Figure 3.13. The examples in Figure 3.13 are grouped according to whether

The sensing input section of the back panel is shown in Figure 3.14 below. It has the same fea- tures as the other mic/line inputs: input gain control and input level switch.
The obvious way to use the sensing input is to connect a microphone (such as a Crown
