POWERPLAY PRO HA4600

4. AUDIO CONNECTIONS

As a standard, the BEHRINGER POWERPLAY PRO is equipped with electronically servo-balanced inputs and outputs. The circuit design features automatic hum suppression for balanced signals and so ensures trouble-free operation, even at the highest operating levels. Externally induced mains hum, etc. can therefore be effectively suppressed. The automatic servo-function recognizes the presence of unbalanced connectors and adjusts the nominal level internally to avoid level differences between the input and output signals (6-dB correction).

+Please ensure that only qualified persons install and operate the POWERPLAY PRO. During installation and operation the user must have sufficient electrical contact to earth. Electrostatic charges might affect the operation of the unit.
