Inputs

Each channel has active balanced "Euro-style" terminal block, XLR and ¼-inch (6.3 mm) TRS jacks wired in parallel. The input impedance is 12 kOhm balanced or 6 kOhm unbalanced. Each channel's three input jacks are wired in parallel. Unused input jacks may be daisy- chained to additional amplifiers if desired.

Balanced connection is recommended. Balanced signals are less prone to AC hum, but unbalanced signals can be suitable for short cable runs. The signal source's output impedance should be less than 600 Ohms to avoid high frequency loss in long cables.

Balanced inputs: Use the XLR, ¼- inch (6.3 mm) TRS input jacks, or the detachable terminal blocks.

Proper connection for all three balanced input options are shown at left.

Entrées

Chaque canal est muni de prises XLR, ¼” (6.3 mm) et bloc détachable “Euro-style” montés en parallèle, avec branchement symétrique. L’impédance d’entrée est de 12kOhm en symétrique, et de 6kOhm en branchement asymétrique.

Les signaux reçus en mode

symétrique sont moins sujets aux ronflements dû aux interférences de réseau électrique (hum), alors que les branchements asymétriques peuvent convenir pour les courtes distances. L'impédance de sortie de la source de signal devrait être de moins de 600 Ohm afin de réduire les pertes en hautes fréquences avec de longs câbles.

Entrées symétriques: Utiliser la prise XLR, ¼” (6.3 mm) ou le bloc détachable “Euro-style.”

Eingänge

Jeder Kanal verfügt über electrisch symmetrierte XLR Anschlüsse,

6,3 mm Stereo-Klinken und Euroblock (Phönix) Anschlußstecker. Die Eingangsim-pedanz beträgt

12 kOhm, symmetrisch und 6 kOhm unsymmetrisch.

Symmetrische Signale verursachen weniger Brummproblem, wobei unsymmetrische Verbindungen allerdings bei kurzen Kabelwegen häufig ausreichen. Die Quellimpedanz sollte dabei weniger als 600 Ohm betragen, um einen Höhenverlust bei längeren Kabelwegen zu vermeiden.

Symmetrische Eingänge: Ver-

wenden Sie die XLR oder 6,3mm

Stereoklinkenbuchsen, oder die

Anschlußstecker.

Entradas

Cada canal tiene una entrada activa balanceada "Euro-style" tipo terminal de bloque, XLR y TRS de 1/ 4" (6.3mm) cableados en paralelo con una impedancia de 12 kOhm balanceada y 6 kOhm no balanceada.

Las señales balanceadas son menos propensas a inducir zumbidos debido a la corriente alterna, pero para cables cortos pueden usarse señales no balanceadas. La impedancia de salida debe ser menor de 600 ohms para prevenir la pérdida de frecuencias agudas en cables largos.

Entradas balanceadas: Use las entradas XLR o TRS de ¼ pulgada (6.3 mm), o la terminal de bloque modular.
