resistor values. These resistors would normally be installed in the cable connector, but may be placed at any point in the signal path. Recommended values are shown in X.

Program Inputs, J14 and J15

The PROGRAM A and B inputs accept line-level (0 dBu nominal), balanced audio. The program inputs are connected using ¼-inch stereo phone plugs.
