Connecting a Balanced Audio Source

You can connect a balanced audio source to the AV controller’s BALANCE L/R XLR jacks by using two XLR audio cables. To use the balanced input, you must assign it to an input selector (see page 54). If you connect a mono source, use the BALANCE L XLR jack and set the “Balance Input” setting to “Mono” (see page 54). The AV controller’s balanced INPUT XLR jacks are wired as shown.
