Channel SectionSince the channel descriptions for both the XR 684F and the XR 696F are identical‚ no distinction will be made between the
units in this section. Also‚ channels 7–9 contain many of the same great features found in channels 1–6 so only the differences
will be pointed out on these channels (7–9).

Channels 1–6
1. Mic Input: XLR balanced‚ low-impedance channel input optimized for a microphone or other low-impedance source.
Pin 2 is the positive input. Due to the wide range of gain adjustment‚ signal levels as high as +10 dBV (2.45 V RMS)
can be accommodated with the pad switch engaged. When the phantom power is enabled‚ this connector has +48 V
on pins 2 and 3 with pin 1 as the ground reference.
2. Line Input: 1/4" balanced TRS inputs. The tip is the positive input which may also be used for unbalanced inputs. A
pad switch is provided to attenuate strong signals present at this input. Note: The Mic input and the Line input
cannot be used simultaneously within the same channel.
