You have three choices of input connectors: 1/4-inch (6.35-mm) phone, 3-pin XLR, or barrier strip. You can also use either balanced or unbalanced wiring.

Figure 2.3 shows balanced connector pin assignments for XLR and phone. Figure 2.4 shows unbalanced connector pin assignments for XLR and phone.

Figure 2.5 shows barrier strip input wiring for a balanced signal. Both channels should be wired using a common center terminal for ground con- nection.

NOTE: Custom wiring should only be performed by qualified personnel.
